This regular-education course is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to be successful in high school. Students who enter this course have been previously identified as lacking this necessary skill set and are at-risk of not graduating, or not graduating on-time.
Skills to be taught include time management, prosocial behaviors, study skills, citizenship, goal-setting, organizational skills and self-advocacy. Students will learn to be accountable in their academic classes, be self-aware of their progress, will exhibit more positive behaviors and will learn to be resilient and positive in their education. The course will also work to foster a connection between the students and their school.
Students will have daily material checks and weekly organizational and academic checks, for which they are graded on. Multiple days in class will be directly related to completing owed work in core classes. Backpack and locker checks will also be a feature of this course. Progress monitoring and parent communication will be an integral component of this course.
