Safety Net
As a Standards-based school system, our ultimate goal is to have our students use the knowledge they gain from their educational experiences to perform at a level (standard) of achievement on or above par with any other students in the global community.

ALL Safety Net plans and activities MUST be connected to the Standards of the course involved. Earning extra credit points, accepting late homework/class work assignments for less credit, cleaning desks after school, assigning class "buddies", etc. are all part of classroom management and/or operational procedures— and they are certainly worthwhile. However, they do not address Standards mastery.

INTERNAL SAFETY NET

Each teacher is expected to design and provide a before-during-after class program for reteaching, remediating, recycling lessons, quizzes, tests, or performance tasks in order to ensure his students' mastery of the standard addressed. ASSESSMENT plays a major role in this process. Testing data, classroom attendance and performance, homework and class work accuracy all help determine who and what are addressed. Make-up work due to absenteeism is addressed here. COMMUNICA TION is extremely important.
Specific and detailed policies must be published and communicated by each teacher to his/her students, their parents, and to the school administration. DOCUMENTATION of these activities is imperative. Grade Recovery Safety Net attendance is not an option before this step has been taken.

EXPANDED INTERNAL SAFETY NET

Teachers of the same course may choose to attack their Internal Safety Net strategies as a small group, sharing before or after school help/make-up session duties. The expectations are the same as for the above mentioned Internal Safety Net system.

EXTERNAL SAFETY NETS

The school will provide official safety net programs for GRADE RECOVERY in
Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Eligibility requirements, procedures and practices will be determined by the school leadership team. These are NOT intended as make-up sessions, nor for detention purposes. These safety net providers are responsible for remediating specific standards (communicated by the classroom teacher) and for recording attendance and standards mastery. It is the responsibility of the classroom teacher to reassess the student and his course grade. No grade recovery is
allowed after final credit has been awarded for a class.

 

OTHER EXTERNAL SAFETY NET PROGRAMS

FCAT REMEDIATION... Students will be remediated in class via FCAT data provided by RESDAC files as the first strategy; teachers will design and provide action plans for identified students. After school FCAT REMEDIATION class is designated primarily for Juniors and Seniors. They will be identified by Curriculum and notified by their guidance counselors of the need to attend. Parent contact will be documented as will names, dates of attendance, and strands taught by the provider. Times and dates as
follows:

Mathematics - Tues/Thurs-  Port 3- Ms Mcarter

Language Arts- Mon/Thurs- N 202- Mr.  Price

 


 

NHS PEER TUTORING ... Monday through Thursday weekly in the Media Center. Sessions last from 2:30-3:30.

MODIFIED ACCELERATED LEARNING CENTER ... Compass Software-based courses for credit acquisition. Sessions meet weekly, Monday through Thursday in M207, 2:30-4:30. Students may sign up via their guidance counselor. (This option is particularly appropriate for Juniors and Seniors needing credits for graduation requirements. It is also available to students who are not at grade level, and need credits to "catch up" and be
able to graduate on time.)
