Increased Distribution  The distribution in this plan is an estimate. If the actual distribution is more than the estimate, how will additional funds be spent to implement the goals described in the plan?  Software for instructional purposes in Science, Reading, Math and Social Studies. As well as professional development that would help teachers be more effective with using technology in the classroom and meeting the learning goals of the core curriculum.

Honors Program  Currently – Receive input from a variety of stakeholders  Counselors,  Math & ELA Teachers,  SCC

Honors Program Questions asked by SCC  What is the goal of the honors program? Is it rigorous?  Students in an Honors classroom require learning experiences beyond what is typically provided in the regular classroom. In the Honors math programs, pacing of the curriculum is adapted to include advanced supplemental material. In all Honors classes, the curriculum is supplemented to meet the needs of advanced learners with an emphasis on depth and complexity of core concepts.

Honors Program Questions asked by SCC  How much independence do we have from the district in honors curriculum?  The core must be taught and there are recommendations for the supplemental and extension activities in order to provide guidance to teachers about what students need. The maps have extensions written into them to provide this help for teachers.  Can the Honors English program read different books?  Yes, they can read different books, more books, etc. As long as the books are in the approved lists, teachers can customize their reading lists.

Honors Program Questions asked by SCC  Do we have a clear pathway for transfer students into honors program? This is still in the planning stages  Request honors on the course request cards  Three data points  District math CFA #3  MCOMP  MCAP  Total scores will be examined and approximately the top 96 scores will be placed in honors (32 students per class, 96 per grade level)  A letter mailed home on or around July 20 th  An additional 12 slots will be reserved for late transfers/home base students up until a date to be determined.  Transfer students will be scored using the 3 data points above
