If the student needs either more classes or more passed EOIs, the senior is not allowed to participate in the last hour "work program" course. If the senior does not have a job that pays with a business check or direct deposit, the student is not allowed to miss the last hour. I ask for the employers name and contact information at the beginning of the semester and for a pay stub per quarter as documentation for proof of employment. If a student quits or loses their job, they must let me know immediately and then get enrolled in a last hour class unless they have a new job already. If this is the case, I just change employer info and go on with allowance of work program. We do not just allow seniors to have only six hours unless both graduation and job requirements are met. (The job does not have to be attended during the last hour; some students work only on the weekend, but still qualify.) Work program can be revoked if the senior decided not to take care of their educational needs in the remaining six classes.

Math class 2. help with student Message-ID: From: Shyanne Gatrost [mailto:shyanne.gatrost at pawnee.k12.ok.us] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 2:42 PM I have a few questions if you would not mind sending them out on the list serve! 1. I would like to offer a math class after Algebra 2 that is not as rigorous as trig or calculus. I wanted to know what math classes other schools offer and how students do in the class. Does this math class also help students not have to take a remedial math class in college? Basically, I am asking what alternative math classes do you offer at your school? 2. I have a drama issue with a student. The student has been in and out of the principal's office as well as mine. I have provided the student with communication tools as well as helping the student recognize when he/she is the one causing the drama. The principal has had several conversations with the student regarding the drama. What we are doing is not working and I am out of ideas on how to better help this student. Any ideas, tools, or resources would be greatly appreciated. This student is a sophomore, if that helps.

Math class 2. help with student Message-ID: 1. We offer Math Finance as our 4th math after Algebra 1, Geom, and Alg 2 if the student is not comfortable in Precalculus, Math Analysis, or Calculus. It doesn't aid on the ACT or on EOI math retakes nor does it prep them for college algebra, but it does give them the 4th math for local requirements. 2. Do you have a peer mediation program at your school? This is a process that usually helps when we have drama kids. There is something about someone else their age having to play referee in their drama that helps sort and organize reality. I would venture to guess it is the idea that "If 'these people who are my age' know how to resolve conflict than I should do everything I can to learn about communication as well." If no mediation class, then have you used a "Self-Awareness Wheel" that covers the areas of keeping the issue central by exploring the spokes of facts, feelings, thoughts, personal involvement, wants for both sides and individuals, and structured plan of solution involving both parties participation. Make the student walk through the wheel and take the time to think about each area as opposed to just react. Give her a wheel to keep and use when you aren't there. Emotions have no brains so they need not be in charge of the decisions. Let the emotions be the caboose rather than the driving engine. The wheel will pull the issue to the forefront and let the frontal lobe play its role of rational thought in the mess as opposed to the amygdala hi-jacking the hypothalamus arguing over who gets to lead. Teach her to ask the questions that "force" rational thought. Only one spoke on the wheel is feelings based which shows that feelings are important but not dominant. Use questions to lead her to conclusions of her involvement. (I'm sure you have already done so...but that's all I have for you without knowing more.) Dana Martin Guymon HS dana.martin at guymontigers.com We offer an Algebra III class. This class is for students who want/need a math past Algebra II but are not ready for Pre-Calculus. The students do well in it and while I do not have data on remediation and that class, I do not believe they have to take remedial courses in college. We had several girls a few years ago (9th & 10th graders) that stirred up drama on a regular basis, so I did a group with them one day a week after school. I sent out letters saying they were chosen because teachers/administrators thought they would be able to make an impact on improving communication skills, lessening bullying, etc. in the school. I had 2 -11th grade "plants" and 2- 12th grade "plants" in the group. I recruited them because they were great role models for these younger girls and were never in trouble (as opposed to the 9th/10th graders). We used the curriculum from the Salvaging Sisterhood book. I pretty much just sat back and let my older girls take over. It was great. We started it in October and the drama was pretty much over by December. We continued the group into the next year because the girls wanted it, but we only lasted the first semester, because they really didn't need it anymore. Even though my older girls were not drama queens, it was a good experience for them as well. And the 9th graders LOVED that these well-respected 12th graders would say Hi to them in the halls.

Math class 2. help with student Message-ID: We offer Algebra III. Dee Monroe Verdigris dmonroe at vps.k12.ok.us Math class--We offer Algebra III which is actually College Algebra. We use the same book Carl Albert State College (our local community college) does and several of our seniors are concurrently enrolled in both classes in the spring. They do well with this arrangement. Most colleges have a placement test students take after the ACT if they haven't scored high enough for college math, English, reading, or science classes. If a student does well enough on the placement test, he/she doesn't have to remediate in that subject.
