    Student Manual

    Welcome! 
     
    We are very delighted to have you as one of our 
    students here at New Tech High!  
    New Technology High School is committed to leading 
    educational reform. Our program encourages students to 
    learn through collaboration with family, business, and 
    community. Here students develop the resilience necessary 
    to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Their education at 
    NTHS prepares them for lifelong learning, productive 
    citizenship, and personal growth”. 
     
    We want your journey to be the best and most 
    succeeding so we have put together this manual that will 
    help you adjust to our learning environment. 
    Congratulations and best of luck! 
       

     
     
    Project Based 
    Learning (PBL) 
     
    New Technology has been a Project Based Learning 
    school since the day of their opening back in 1996. 
    PBL focuses on real world application in learning. 
    What this really means is that everyone has to 
    collaborate together to work and finish a project that 
    is assigned to them. 
    An example would be the Readers theater project in 
    sophomore year. In groups students collaborate using 
    their critical thinking, work ethic, knowledge and 
    agency skills to create a readers theater based on 
    World War 1 and II. Students then performed their 
    pieces to the community. 
    We believe this is effective in preparing students for 
    their future careers, no matter the path they take. As 
    project-based learning continues to expand in the 
    Napa Valley Unified School District, New Tech High 
    is committed to deepening and expanding our 
    implementation.

    Echo

    Echo is a tool we use to turn in assignments, 


    projects, tests etc. Not only that but it is a great way 
    for students to interact with each other and teachers. 
    Echo gives you the ability to give peer feedback and 
    lets you know when upcoming events/assignments. 
    The best thing is that you can check your grades 
    anytime, anywhere!

    have included some steps on how to locate everything.
