Best Mindset for Middle School Success I belong in this community. My ability and competency grow with my effort. I can succeed at this. This work has value for me.

Growth vs Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset: People believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work----brains and talent are just the starting point.

What is the role of a counselor? Student advocate Support person Life skills teacher Conflict mediator Academic advisor Career Fair Program coordinator Orientation Registration Team Building ICAP Careers Social/Emotional Activities

What else is different from elementary school? Fresh baked cookies every day! The number of students in each grade! We don’t line up very often! Lockers! Lunch! 8:25-3:21! 7 classes, different rooms and teachers! Your child!!!!!

From “The Forgotten Middle” The level of academic achievement that students attain by 8th grade has a larger impact on their college and career readiness by the time they graduate high school than anything that happens academically in high school.

Required 7th Grade Core Courses Science Social Studies Language Arts Mathematics Math 7 Math 7/8 Algebra 1

7th Grade Elective Courses Semester (18 weeks): Art * PE * (Required Elective) Technical Education* Family & Consumer Science* World Languages & Cultures Drama 7 Choir 7 (By choice only) All courses dependent on enrollment and other factors. Full Year (36 weeks): Concert Band 7 Orchestra 7

7th and 8th Intervention Courses We often “double dose” students in Math and/or Language Arts by enrolling them in our regular grade level Math or Language Arts courses plus another period of Intervention Math or Intervention Language Arts (Reading). This Intervention class takes the place of one of the elective classes. We similarly use Learning Strategies classes to provide additional support for some students.
