3 Middle School Program Overview The goal of the Middle School Program is to develop academic skills, build content knowledge, and expand learning experiences into new areas of study. At each grade level, support structures are in place to help students transition from the elementary school and prepare for the high school. In sixth grade, students are in teams with the same set of teachers. The team structure allows teachers to coordinate instructional assignments and assessments, flex schedules for interdisciplinary activities, and support individual student s academic needs and social development. In seventh and eighth grade, students take classes with different peers in departments. The department structure allows students to have self-selected options for Expos and a variety of academic course options. The middle school schedule is a seven period day. Five periods are dedicated to the core subjects and two periods are dedicated to Expo subjects. Core courses are full year courses. Expo courses are half year courses that meet for a semester or every other day. All middle school students are required to take the following core and expo subjects, unless modified in a student s individualized education plan: Required Core Courses Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 Language Arts Language Arts English Reading Reading Math Math Math Science Science Science Social Studies Social Studies Social Studies World Language or Literacy Course 3

Academic courses include content and skill-based goals and objectives appropriate for the grade level. Advanced and Honors Courses Advanced-level and honors-level courses are designed for students who have the ability to learn at a faster pace, with increased independence, and in a greater depth. These courses are more challenging than academic course and may include additional content. Students in advanced-level and honors-level courses are recommended by their teachers through multiple criteria that include proficiency on a variety of curriculum-based assessments and performance in class. Supportive Courses Supportive courses are designed for students who have individualized educational plans (IEPs). In these courses, student may receive modified curriculum materials and specialized instruction to meet their individual learning goals and needs. Middle School Skills for Success (MSSFS) Middle School Skills for Success provides direct instruction in the areas of study skills and organization, explicit skill instruction related to IEP goals, and social skills instruction. This course is for students who receive 4

5 Learning Support or Emotional Support services, but who are not scheduled in both Supportive Reading and Supportive Math for academic reasons. Students' IEP teams must pre-determine the student qualifies for this instruction in at least 2 of the 3 focus categories based on outlined criteria. The instruction is provided by a special education teacher three times in six days in place of one EXPO class. Every attempt is made to schedule opposite Physical Education or another EXPO that meets every other day. Course Codes: Grade Grade Grade Reading Support Courses Reading support courses are designed to provide focused reading instruction in comprehension. Students will learn how to apply reading strategies and build vocabulary knowledge and reading stamina while utilizing a variety of high interest texts. READ 180 READ 180 is offered to students who meet academic criteria and are recommended by their teachers. In this course, students rotate through stations that include direct instruction, specialized software modules, and independent reading. Students work with texts at their instructional level. This course is a double-block and takes the place of the students reading course and an Expo course. Course Codes: Grade Grade Grade Advanced Thinking Enrichment (Gifted Courses) Sixth and seventh grade students with gifted individualized educational plans (GIEPs) may select to participate in a gifted class in lieu of their reading classes. Eighth grade students with gifted individualized educational plans (GIEPs) may select to participate in a gifted English course. The Advanced Thinking Enrichment courses are designed to support students with GIEPs by enhancing critical thinking skills and analytical reasoning abilities. They are 5

6 also designed to extend beyond the academic curriculum to enrich content learning in reading, English, science, and social studies, as well as broadening interdisciplinary areas of interest. Supports for students with GIEPs exist in all courses through the selection and completion of independent goals. The Advanced Thinking Enrichment classes in each grade level allow students to be in a cohort. The following courses are available for students who have GIEPs: Advanced Thinking Enrichment The gifted 6 course focuses on critical thinking skills in the content areas of reading, science, and social studies. During the reading unit, students will read a variety of challenging texts that support interdisciplinary connections with an emphasis on divergent thinking, self-directed inquiry, literary and expository text analysis, and reasoning.
