Material to be used for Programming Curriculum
that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and
exploratory. Multiple learning and teaching
approaches that respond to their
diversity. Assessment and evaluation programs
that promote quality learning. Organizational
structures that support meaningful relationships
and learning. School-wide efforts and policies
that foster health, wellness, and
safety. Multifaceted guidance and support
services.
22
Trends Material to be used for this
slide Researchers found that practices most
responsive to the needs of young adolescents were
found in schools with configurations of 6-8
grades. Practices that address social, personal,
and academic development are Strong advisory
programs Activity periods Cooperative
learning Interdisciplinary teaming Exploratory
classes Common planning time 8-period
days Flexible schedules The implementation of
good practices and strong programs, not grade
configuration, determines effectiveness of
schools for young adolescents.

2 High School Personnel Implications Slide 2

• Certified Support Staff Accreditation
  Considerations
• Guidance
• 1 FTE 400 students
• Current FTE 6.95 reduction by .95 remains
  within accreditation standards
• Library/Media
• 2 FTE 1001-1500 students
• Current FTE 3.83 in the HS Budget
• Administration
• 3 FTE 1051-1550 students
• Current FTE 6 If KJHS Dean is included

• Assumptions
• Rawson Field shared
• Shared facilities for Vocational Programs
• Nurse FTE - shared between the buildings
• 3 counselors per building .95 FTE currently
• 2 Librarians per building - .2 FTE currently
• Present secretarial / classified staff - split
  between buildings
• 3 administrators per building 1 administrator
  serves as the AD
• Present Teaching staff would be split to cover
  scheduled classes
