Current Initiatives
PBIS
We are currently in our second year of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Our school expectations are Be Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Present. This practice is a "multi-tiered approach to social, emotional and behavior support. The broad purpose of PBIS is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of schools and other agencies. PBIS improves social, emotional and academic outcomes for all students, including students with disabilities and students from underrepresented groups." For more information, visit the PBIS website.
ICLE
SHEC, along with all schools in Calaveras Unified, are engaging in professional development provided by the International Center for Leadership in Education. Focus has been on the the Rigor/Relevance Framework. This framework is a tool developed by the International Center to examine curriculum, instruction, and assessment along the two dimensions of higher standards and student achievement. It can be used in the development of both instruction and assessment. In addition, teachers can use it to monitor their own progress in adding rigor and relevance to their instruction.
Online Coursework Flexpoint
Our board approved online curriculum is k-12, a-g and NCAA approved. Students can take online classes as part of their regular coursework or to make up credits by logging into their account using the Buzz platform.
