Instructional Center (IC)Students in grades 9-12 will have a period of time within their class schedules when they are assigned to an instructional center. This period of time is referred to as independent study time. Students will be able to determine their learning goal for the day and decide to get assistance in (English, Science, Social Studies, or Math). Students may also access the Library, Career Center, Computer Lab, and the Counseling Center. Based on previous performance and assessment, 9th graders will be assigned instructional centers that will address their individual academic needs. All 10th through 12th grade students will have the opportunity to choose instructional center which best suit their current academic endeavors and where they will work on class assignments or materials of personal interest. Students will have the opportunity to meet regularly with teachers during this time to seek help in a subject or for the clarification of assignments. This time may also be used for conferences. The goal of the Instructional Center is to support students in taking responsibility and playing an active role in their learning. Students will develop self-reliance and effective personal time management as they establish and execute formal and informal plans of study by setting learning goals, and then monitoring, evaluation, and managing their own progress.
