McPherson Middle School Redesign

Welcome to the McPherson Middle School Redesign Page

- The Walt “Wally” Schirra Project -

Join us on our journey as we participate in the Kansans Can Redesign Initiative as a Mercury 7 school.

View our progress in each of the three goal areas we are focusing on for redesign at MMS:

• Social & Emotional Learning
• Academic Success
• Civic Engagement

Ways to reach vision/goals: Implementation of the Summit Learning platform to help individualize learning for students and to help meet our goal of increasing the use of project-based learning; a 12-minute Pack Time at the beginning of each day to help build positive relationships between students and staff members; integration of civic engagement lessons into curriculum; student community service hours; school-wide implementation of Capturing Kids’ Hearts, which is a researched-based curriculum that addresses the social-emotional needs of students and staff members; and measurement of students’ social-emotional learning using the ACT Tessera assessment.
