Abstract: It is increasingly clear that the factory-model secondary schools we inherited from a century ago are not designed to educate the next generation to face today's challenges. Many educators are seeking to develop new models, recognizing that the assembly line structure of these schools was not designed for the strong relationships, deeper learning opportunities, and equitable outcomes we need today. This brief provides an overview of 10 evidence-based features of effective redesigned high schools, aligned with the guiding principles of the science of learning and development (SoLD): (1) positive developmental relationships; (2) safe, inclusive school climate; (3) culturally responsive and sustaining teaching; (4) deeper learning curriculum; (5) student-centered pedagogy; (6) authentic assessment; (7) well-prepared and well-supported teachers; (8) authentic family engagement; (9) community connections and integrated student supports; and (10) shared decision-making and leadership.
