9th Grade Core Philosophy
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The 9th Grade Core Program will make the transition into high school for incoming 9th graders a positive and successful experience. Each 9th grader will be assigned to a team of teachers who will teach in the content areas of English/Language Arts, Science or Social Studies.
Collectively, this team of teachers will build relationships with this group of students and their parents, and set the expectations and tone for their next four years at Eastview High School. This team will teach additional skills to all of our 9th graders in such areas as study skills, decision making, goal setting, problem solving, conflict resolution, technology, career awareness and awareness of opportunities that are ahead at Eastview High School.
This team of teachers will also monitor student progress and provide timely feedback to parents and students. Developing this heightened awareness, building these important skills and monitoring progress will increase the success for students at Eastview High School.
