S c hool B oar d Ex e c u t i v e S um m ar y Secondary Program Study Board Workshop Update A p r i l 1 5 , 2 0 1 0

Background In the spring of 2009 the Hopkins School Board commissioned a study of the secondary program and schedule. Beginning in September of 2009, the secondary study group of 45 members has devoted an approximate total of 1, 974 hours to this important effort. The secondary study group has been comprised of teachers from grades 7-12, District curriculum coordinators, high school student representation, District parents, and both building and District administrators. This report is an update to the Board of the secondary program study efforts, and is focused primarily on program scheduling. Purpose The purpose of this report is to seek feedback from the Board regarding the scheduling work to date, and preliminary scheduling options. Guiding questions for Board discussion include:

• What questions do you have related to program schedules that need further clarification or attention?

• Are there areas that you expected to see in the options that are not yet present?

• Are there areas of concern within the options? Recommendation For Board information and discussion

From: Diane and Nik Date: February 11, 2010

Re: Junior High small group recommendations

1. World Language: • Offer World Language as a full year option in grades 7 and 8. • Explore the addition of other languages beyond those currently

offered. • Explore multi-grade courses. • Explore interdisciplinary courses. • Consider the development of AP Spanish for heritage language

and immersion students in grades 7 and 8. • Utilize credit by assessment for students already proficient in a

language other than English.

2. Financial Literacy: • Keep the current junior high requirement in place, placed in

grades 8 or 9. Add a high school required course to build upon the base.

3. Technology Application

• Embed technology standards within content areas in grade K-8. These will be developed beginning in 2010.

• Assess students at the end of grade 8 or early in grade 9 to determine proficiency.

• Potentially develop a course for all junior high students in technology application.

2 Diane and Nik Junior High small group recommendations February 11, 2010


• Develop options to help students not yet proficient. These could include an online course, a regular course, independent study, or other options.

4. Overview of “leveled courses”/gifted education

• A rich discussion was held, including many elements and perspectives, as we consider and work towards high rigor for all students.

• A study group will be formed in the 2010-2011 school year to identify ways to address current student needs for gifted/talented students, beyond what is currently being offered.

5. The “wheel” of electives will be considered as we look at scheduling

options. Ideas for consideration are: • Balance the courses included • Open up the concept of “the wheel” • Music as a full year experience? • Physical activity needs of students • More option-based • Look at areas of study • Cross grade level options • Look at “cogs” in the wheel • Consider the level of choice for students and adults

6. Advisory model purposes and considerations:

• Small student groups (15-18) • Home communication and relationships • Knowledge of students is more in-depth • Silent reading time is important • Home/school face and voice • Study skills and organization • Habits of mind • Coursework planning • 6-12 and Beyond

• Work on level transitions • Wellness/activity • Individualization through clubs, intervention, enrichment, etc. • Teacher collaboration • Community service • Some type of connection with advisee parents • Professional shadowing option • Electronic portfolios • Grade 7- 12 connections through buddies, mentors, panels, etc. • Consider parent/teacher conferences • The content may vary by grade level • Can we enhance the advisory role while lowering student load?

M e m o r a n d u m To: Secondary Study Committee

From: Nik and Diane Date: February 9, 2010

Re: Hopkins High School program recommendations - The following are recommendations made by the small group focused on secondary study group areas of consensus related to Hopkins High School program recommendations: 1. World Language recommendations include:

• All students take two levels of a World Language in grades 7-12. • The WL requirement should not become a barrier to graduation. • We would need to develop supports for students struggling with

the requirement. • Language offerings would include American Sign Language. • We would develop credit by assessment for students speaking

languages other than English (i.e. Hebrew, Spanish, etc.) • We are considering interdisciplinary courses between areas such

as WL and potentially: culinary arts, business, etc.

2. Financial Literacy recommendations include: • All students would take a financial literacy course sometime in

grades 11 or 12. These would most likely be courses taught within the FACS or Business Education departments.

3. Technology Application recommendations include:

• Students would be assessed at the end of 8th or beginning of 9th grade as to their technology application proficiency. Students not yet proficient as they enter HHS would be offered options to meet proficiency; these could include coursework, online learning, independent study, or outside opportunities. The proficiency requirement would not necessarily be tied to a specific course.

2 Nik and Diane Hopkins High School program recommendations February 9, 2010


4. Health and Wellness recommendations include:

• We will attempt to identify increased options for student activity during the school day.

• Physical Education required courses will focus more on wellness curriculum, rather than specific sport skills. These will be available through electives.

• There is also potential in this area to create interdisciplinary course options, including such elements as nutrition or biology.

5. Advisory model recommendations include:

• There is a need for an advisory model at HHS. • Curriculum and purpose would need to be articulated for staff,

students, and parents. • Students would register for the advisory program. • Details of grouping, assignment of students, and curriculum have

not yet been determined. • There is potential to use this time for a “Capstone project”. • Other ideas include expanded use of the 6-12 and Beyond

Naviance program for student planning, assessment information, and interest based relationships, etc.

6. Program of Study recommendations include:

• We would like to create communication tools for students and families that provide enhanced information about course options and how they might lead to future study and careers.

• We will use the Wayzata booklet as a model from which to gather ideas for our own document.

• We want to create an online tool where students can “build a course of study”, with links to important details such as post-secondary credit.

• We want to enhance and further embed the 6-12 work with the Naviance tool.

• Perhaps through an advisory model, we believe students need direct instruction in post-secondary planning.

1. Change the Alternating Block Schedule to an Alternating Quarter scheduling maintaining 14 credits for the 7th & 8th grade and 16 credits for the 9th grade.2. Change to an Alternating Quarter schedule with 14 credits for grades 7-9 and add an Advisory on alternating days.

g p p p y g g y gCommittee would recommend that the Hopkins School Board consider the following two options:

1. Change the Alternating Block Schedule to an Alternating Quarter scheduling maintaining 14 credits for the 7th & 8th grade and 16 credits for the 9th grade, and increase the class size to 32.2. Change to an Alternating Quarter schedule with 14 credits for grades 7-9 and add an Advisory on alternating days, and increase the class size based upon maximum credits to 32.

High School Recommendation based upon Hopkins School Board parameter of utilizing present fiscal resources: For this scenario, the Secondary Scheduling Committeewould recommend the Hopkins School Board consider slightly revising the current block schedule at the High School by adding an Advisory component. Any fiscal savings that wouldresult from this change would be allocated to lower class size.
