Hillsboro Alternative Program 2007/2008
Alternative Program
The Alternative Program Learning Plan: Students accepted into the Alternative Program are guaranteed the benefit of learning facilitated by a highly certified team of educational professionals. Three fourths of our teachers hold advanced degrees. Our instructors are each members of two Professional Learning Community teams. Each teacher is a member of a core content team at Hillsboro High School. These teams are charged with the responsibility of selecting the essential skills students will learn in their corresponding academic areas. Content teams set learning goals, collaborate on best teaching practices, develop common assessments to measure those practices, and analyze data in order to effectively monitor student’s mastery of essential skills. The Alternative teachers also comprise their own Interdisciplinary Team. The goals of this team are to:
Academic Overview Low student teacher ratio in a caring, family like environment Academic acceleration Multi-age essential skill groups Student responsibility and control in learning process A non-traditional approach that focuses on multiple intelligence's, differentiated instruction, cooperative learning and a school wide infusion of technology Service Projects Career exploration Applied learning A “Whatever It Takes” Approach Studies indicate that social issues and problems such as teen pregnancy, depression, poor attendance and family dysfunction contribute greatly to the cause of students becoming at risk for school failure or dropping out. For some of these students, larger class sizes and school settings contribute to feelings of isolation, which slows the learning process. The Alternative Program gives students a much needed chance to make a fresh start. NO GOAL IS OUT OF REACH! With the support of the school district as a whole, caring citizens in the community and the students themselves, we have to developed a unity of purpose to do “whatever it takes” to help students experience success both academically and in life
