Principal Fortin is the founder of the TEEN LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION (TLC) program at the middle school. This is the service-learning arm of the curriculum, a way of promoting social awareness among students. The students interested in participating in the program must fill out an application and be accepted into the program.
The program itself involves each accepted student creating his/her own project. It also involves a video presentation on the project, readings, course work, and the final project. At the end a presentation banquet is held. Students can choose to involve peers, who are not part of the program. Most of the work for the program is intended to be completed online. There is a portal for participants to login and have access to the materials.
The TLC program does offer some examples of projects that students can undertake and there is a list of readings and online resources that students can use also. An informational session is held for potential applicants detailing the process of getting into the program and how to pick a project once accepted into the program. The students are being given the skills to take a project from seeing a problem, developing a solution, and implementing that solution. It's high level skills being taught to students who have not yet reached high school. Innovation for change being done at Horace Mann Middle School.
