  5. Did you know? • Did you know that over 40% of 9th graders at CHS fail at least one class in the first semester of high school? • Did you know that by the 1st semester of 10th grade, over 200 students at CHS have 45 credits or less (and that is after attending summer school)? • Did you know that last year, after meeting with at-risk 9th grade students one time, 5% went from failing two classes the first semester to passing all classes? 

  6. Imagine what we could accomplish with Panther Homeroom once a week.

Panther Homeroom • Build Connections and Mentor Students • Grade level support: • Freshmen: Transitions to High School • Link Crew • Sophomores: CAHSEE Prep • Juniors: EAP (Early Assessment Program) • Seniors: College and Career Readiness Resources will be provided – No Lesson Planning Using Panther Homeroom to reduce time taken from instructional time is a primary consideration • Announcements • Example Activities: • Healthy Kids Survey • Review grades, attendance, behaviors with students • Jostens • Grade level presentations

  10. Personalization • Creating structures so that students cannot remain anonymous for four years. • Providing opportunities for teachers to connect with students and build relationships. • Creating structures in which the aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, interests, and level of progress of each student are known well by at least one adult.

  12. What are some of your questions about Panther Homeroom?

  13. What do you think might be some benefits with Panther Homeroom?

  14. Possible BENEFITS: • Increased sense of school pride and spirit • Every student has one additional adult that monitors their school progress • Kids develop relationships with students with whom they wouldn’t typically associate • Provides an opportunity to teach skills that are difficult to integrate into the regular curriculum (i.e., 4-year-plan, job readiness, community service, dangers of bullying, etc.) • Improve attendance and decrease tardiness

  15. School Site Waiver – One Year Commitment • As the teacher workday is subject to the collective bargaining process it may not be unilaterally changed. . . (multiple pages follow) In A Nutshell: There must be an 75% approval vote by the staff each year.

  16. Time-line Next Steps: • February 1st proposal due to Site Contract Waiver Committee • End of February Site Contract Waiver Committee Decision reports back to CHS • March 1st – March 15th Window to hold Staff Vote • March 15th results due to D.O. • Planning Committee established to develop resources for each grade level

  17. Building Community, Connections, and School Pride
