Core Teachers: Do we select an Academy?
December 7th, 2007 — SSR
Core teachers have been asking about academy selection on the teaching preference selection sheets that are due to Dr. Diaz by Friday. In response, core teachers need to know that they will not be teaching the content from the elective pathway classes of culinary operations or accounting. In creating small learning communities, the core teachers will have to be assigned to groups of students who will fall under an academy. Dr. Diaz is asking the core teachers to think about their own individual preference and which academy they would like to fall under. Eventually, when looking forward to interdisciplinary project planning within academies, it is to the benefit of the students that they share as many teachers as possible. It is in this way that we will be able to personalize their learning environment more to their interests. So the core teachers will continue to teach their content as stipulated by the Sunshine State Standards and other district requirements, however they will fall under an academy to facilitate the grouping of students into their small learning communities.
