Building and Facilities
Trautwein School's original building opened in 1964. The next year an addition was added that doubled the size of the school. The entire building houses thirty classrooms including an art, music and computer room, plus a library, gymnasium, cafeteria, office and conference room. During the summer of 2002, Proposition P funds were used to update all of Trautwein's HVAC systems, allowing the building to be fully climate controlled. The computer lab was also updated adding thirty student workstations. Computers were installed in each classroom in the building. All of these computers are networked district-wide and are capable of accessing the Internet.
Frequently Asked Questions About Accelerated Schools
When did Accelerated Schools begin in Missouri?
In 1988, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education initiated the Missouri Accelerated Schools Project, a network consisting of six elementary schools. The project is based on the ideas of Henry Levin, professor at Stanford University.
How many Accelerated Schools are there in Missouri?
The Accelerated Schools network has grown to include about 170 elementary, middle/junior high and high schools in all areas of the state--urban, suburban, small town and rural. These schools are served by regional centers at five universities--University of Missouri-Columbia, University of Missouri-Kansas City, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Southwest Missouri State University at Springfield and Southeast Missouri State Univeristy at Cape Girardeau.
What is an Accelerated School?
An Accelerated School is a school that commits itself to both a philosophy and a process to improve student achievement and increase parent and community involvement. In carrying out the philosophy and process, members of the Accelerated Schools community - the principal, teachers, other staff, parents, students, district office personnel and local community members - work together to make the school the best that it can be so that all children will have the opportunity to be successful, productive members of society.
By making changes in curriculum, instruction and school organization, the Accelerated Schools community transfers the school into a place where all students, especially those at risk of failing in the current system, excel at high levels regardless of their background.
