M-CHS is presenting a proposal to revamp the Career Pathways class time next year. Each teacher would have a Career Pathway group on Tuesday and Wednesdays structured by grade, as it is now, with content lessons provided emphasizing ICAPS (Individual Career & Academic Plan), College In Colorado, Workforce Readiness, and Presenters. The objectives to this proposal are 1) Reduce the amount of student travel during CP on Mondays and Thursdays, 2) Incorporate RTI, ELL and Enrichments into the CP tutorial time, and 3) Increase the CP time to 45 minutes daily. Each teacher would have a separate group of students on Mondays and Thursdays for Academic Support time based on incorporating RTI, ELL and Enrichments. During this time, students would be screened based on CSAP and MAPS and placed into targeted intervention groups with a specific teacher for that specific targeted standards basic skill deficiency. At the 9th grade level the emphasis will be in Math and English because this is where the biggest slide towards dropping out occurs. As support is added (especially through monitored programs like Success Maker, Study Island, etc.) other targeted needs areas will be added. Students who do not present an RTI/ELL/Behavioral need would be allowed to go into enrichment mini classes or to a monitored study hall. Academic Support on Mondays and Thursday would be fluid (within 9 week blocks at a minimum) based on student mastery of specific skill sets and will be monitored with data. Teachers could create mini enrichment classes individually or in teams that could run for 9 weeks or 18 weeks. These classes could range from fine arts, sports teams enhancement, college preparation, mentoring and at the Senior level with basic requirements met, a monitored release time. Teachers who teach an enrichment or have an intervention group for Academic Support will have a 9 week block of release prep time at some point during the year to compensate for the extra work. Teachers can elect to supervise a study hall without the release time. All the students would be assigned a specific place to be each day during CP (T/W) and AS (M/TH). Attendance would be taken every day under two class designations in Power School. Both CP and AS would change to a graded class- not Pass/Fail.
