• JCS is able to be flexible and adapt the curriculum quickly at any point in the year. • Especially at the K-8 level, but also to some extent at the high school level, students are not limited to one curriculum choice and there is the ability to change curriculum to better meet student needs. • In addition to or instead of curriculum changes, assignments can also be changed or altered to better suit student needs in meeting standards. • Pace of the curriculum can be adjusted. • Additional strategies and interventions are suggested and put in place by assessment findings. • Students who continue to struggle after teacherand parent-led strategies have been tried are referred to a Safety Net team. The team is a precursor to an SST and often is able to make suggestions that bring about positive changes. • Tutoring options have been expanded each year, and now includes online tutoring in some subjects in addition to in-person, phone and email tutoring. • Intervention programs and English-language support are provided through programs such as CompassLearning (e.g., Response to Invention, ELL for Elementary, ELL for Secondary). • All students have access to curricular choices that enable them to meet the graduation requirements. • In examining data, our students struggle in the areas of writing and math (especially algebra) and therefore a ninth grade writing course is a mandatory course, an algebra support class is offered as an elective, and a variety of CAHSEE remediation or interventions are provided (grades 9-12). • All academic and career-technical programs are meaningful and open to all students. • Elective courses may be custom designed to fit the needs and interests of the student. • High school core courses may be taken as a portfolio option for students/families that want to use alternative curriculum or develop a course of study independent of the specialist-designed course of study. Portfolio approval requires a pre-course meeting to review the course of study proposed. Assessments include the course final exam and a mid/final portfolio meeting to assess learning. • Curriculum/textbook choices available in the resource center • Curriculum purchased with EUs • Curriculum/courses of study in ReportWriter • ReportWriter custom courses • Concern reports • Safety Net forms • Tutoring hours • Elluminate schedule • Writing course curriculum • Algebra support class • CLO intervention scope and sequence (RtI/ELL) • WIGS 2009-2010 • Writing requirement • Health/life skills requirement • Graduation requirements • JCS course list • “a-g” list • Curriculum order form • Community college and ROP course lists • Custom course sample • Portfolio option and sample portfolio work Note: • JCS does not offer Honors or AP classes • Students may earn high school and college credits by taking courses at a community college Chapter 4: Self-Study Findings: Curriculum 62 Julian Charter School Focus on Learning 2009-2010
• Staff analyzes, evaluates and modifies curriculum and curriculum-related policies (e.g., mandatory writing policy, homework/grading policies) to support student learning. • Parent-teachers and staff utilize: • Technology to enhance curriculum, to support student learning, and to offer a variety of learning environments (e.g., JCS Online, CLO, Elluminate). • Virtual and other communities of practice through Web 2.0 tools such as wikis to share curriculum, resources and discuss student learning. • Online assessment tools and resources to assess student learning (e.g., MAP, Discovery Education). • Curricular programs and tools to facilitate access to curriculum (e.g. graphic organizers, scaffolding, EBSCO). • Leveled reading books/individualized book lists based on Lexile scores to differentiate curriculum. • A variety of modalities to support learning styles. • Electives, field experiences, and internships to explore areas of interest and career-related experiences. • Interdisciplinary learning to pursue some topics in depth. • Four-year plans, interest inventories, SMART goal setting, and COIN3 as additional information sources to help meet a student’s curricular needs. • Handbooks (home study grading policies); sitebased homework/ grading policies; policy binder • JCS Online • Compass Learning • Parent and staff wikis • MAP testing • Elluminate classes/tutoring • WebQuests • EBSCO online library • JCS website • Online resource catalog • Student Lexile book list • School-to-career tools • Sample student SMART goal action plan • 21st century skills framework • Learning styles inventory • Master agreement • WIGS 2009-2010 Chapter 4: Self-Study Findings: Curriculum Julian Charter School Focus on Learning 2009-2010 63
