Educational Programs and Services. In all program areas and at all levels, AHCS will assess student progress toward achieving learner goals and program area performance standards including: the content and data; the accomplishment of appropriate skills; the development of critical thinking and reasoning; and attitude. AHCS will use assessment results to improve the education program, and use effective and appropriate tools for assessing such progress. This may include, but is not limited to: standardized tests; criterion-referenced tests; teacher-made tests; ongoing classroom evaluation; actual communication assessments such as writing, speaking, and listening assessments; samples of student work and/or narrative reports passed from grade to grade; samples of students' creative and/or performance work; and surveys of carry-over skills to other program areas and outside of school. This will accomplish AHCS’s goal for all students to meet, at a minimum, the standards established by the state. AHCS’s Board and Principal will establish a school philosophy embraced by teachers, students, and parents that supports the belief that every student is valued and every student will succeed at a high level both socially and academically. The character education plan will result in a safe school infused with positive peer pressure, students who are ready to learn every day, and who possess the self-discipline needed to maximize the educational experiences of themselves and others. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and rates of learning are taken into account, yet expectations for achievements are not compromised. Once again, when there is low threat of physical and/or emotional harm, and academic content is highly challenging, accelerated learning will take place, and the results will be outstanding! AHCS's objectives, strategies and instructional practices are currently being modeled at NVA. The best research is a successful program being implemented. NVA is financially sound and met AYP (results unofficial) this year. AHCS and NVA have a cooperative professional development plan that includes a three-year, mentoring program to ensure the success of the program (See Appendix Z). CoreKnowledge®, Making Middle Schools Work, and Making High Schools Work (all project-based learning models) will be covered by NVA trainers. AHCS will keep our teachers up to date with training in Differentiated Classroom Education, and RTI Education as offered in workshops throughout the State of Idaho and as part of the aforementioned cooperative agreement with NVA.
