Course Model: This is an “outcome-based” course. The student will need to pass each chapter/unit by at least 80% accuracy as measured on assignments and assessments . The learning targets for assignment are outlined below. The student has choice in the learning methods to reach understanding of the materials. The daily work is completed off-campus or during advisories. During your on-campus time, you will have a weekly one-on-one meeting with your teacher/advisor to support your learning. All curriculum and instructional materials to complete the course are available at school for check out or to use on campus. Students complete a monthly self-evaluation to reflect on learning and establish monthly goals and outcomes.

To build understanding of each learning target, the student will:

1.Keep a portfolio of all completed work

2.Come prepared with weekly work in your binder at your advisory meeting.

3.Design any projects and resources that can increase understanding and integrate with other subjects. (This is an optional activity to increase understanding and provide connections to other subjects.)

4.Complete all assignments and assessments listed at 80% or better level

5.Other: UPDATE YOUR WEEKLY HOURS AND ACTIVITIES BEFORE WEEKLY MEETING WITH ADVISOR

At your monthly teacher evaluation meetings, the student will:

6.Share their portfolio of completed work.

7.Review the learning targets for the next month and update learning plan

8.Determine if satisfactory progress has been made on your learning plan based on 80% scores on all assignments.

9.Other: Share monthly assessment projects with advisory class for peer feedback and discussion.

10.Parents/Guardians are encouraged to attend the monthly evaluation meeting, and a parent signature is required on monthly log sheets for advisor approval.

If students are not making weekly or monthly progress, advisor will create an Intervention Plan to be followed and signed by student, parent, and advisor.
