ACADEMICS EVERYWHERE Advising Time – Open gradebook check-in Advisor- Advisee, once per quarter. New Academic Spaces in the US – Academic Center (US 610), The Learning Lab, The Fish Bowl for Tutoring Learning Goals based assessment and grading in 9 th grade US Physics course.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE THIS: It’s not about the grade and it’s not about completion nor compliance. It’s about the practice and the learning of content and of habits. An Engaged and connected student in Freshman Seminar, and in what happens during class time. When is it that tutoring is a bad idea? A relational approach to teaching and learning teacher-student and student-student.

YOU SAY TOMATO AND I SAY…

LOOKING AHEAD: WINTERM YEAR II

LOOKING WAY AHEAD… 10 th Grade typically involves: The choice between World History II and AP European History -  first chance at an AP course at Cannon. A first or second year of a foreign language Chemistry A math course (following sequence) English II (Inquiries into Others) An elective (Fine Arts, PE, Film, etc…) * Expect support from teachers, Deans, and College Counseling as we enter the course recommendation process in the Spring.
