15 9th Grade Success Skills
Our Classes are built around 4 essential skill groups: G: Group work - learning how to work cooperatively and productively with others to reach a common goal O: Organization - how to track multiple assignments/tasks across different classes and/or multiple components of one assignment A: Advocacy - through self-advocacy students can better understand their strengths & weaknesses and learn what they need to be successful Being a good self-advocate can help students both academically and socially L: Literacy - Our courses are common-core aligned. We believe strong reading is essential in all subject areas – even in elective classes, students are asked to analyze ideas, think critically and prepare written work
