okay I would like to welcome everyone dear I have 6:33 score of the engine start again if you if you don't have a course selection handbook please get one of the friend that will help guide our interactions first of all thank you for all the way to support our kids would really appreciate it tonight as a viable 9-week thing with the first of all room at go ahead and take an outline of the entire scheduling process including our transition plan for eight the ninth grade that's going to include this year individual meetings for phones with our school counselor Mr stork also Ranch reduce a few new opportunities unique to the high school in different play the class called freshman it's going to combine College and Career Readiness skills along with organization and study skills  Hamish new terminology like always an education and play the new grading scale I'll never sent out an e-blast I want to talk about it for just a few minutes. It isn't that if you're from many teachers in our school they're going to about their apartments and the courses that they offer why they matter now they fit into for your schedule an appointment with that turned over of school counselor good evening I see a lot of from their faces actually off we're having will try going and probably but before I get started I wanted to take that is just Quinceaneras how many parents of 8th grade students per grade since we have hi this is Italian parents of 9th grade look at your beer at my place to 10th grade  represent play that song train now this one I am always surprised and sometimes volunteer for a small Springs Denali this is always pretty well attended by 8th graders because you're learning about what what the freaking is in the high school what courses we offer some of the terminology more or nowadays it's important for family to 9th 10th 11th grade Christmas so many changes with Eminem in the changes are 10 principles probably getting emails and texts about things on the state that's going on that could be changed in the next couple weeks so I'll go here and try it for me the best I can chords to We have to offer some of the things that you need to consider what that that process going to look like for tonight I'll probably just first of all it's hard to believe it already talking about the 15-16 school year now to be honest with you I can't wait till August 2015 call Ann Arbor tonight really is too, we're going to try to be done by 7:30 and I'll give you guys have to ask some questions how can tell you where you can direct questions if we act like we're a pops up just to go back in the freezing cold call settlement over a couple nuts and bolts here and hopefully we won't be too busy watching this this present time High School course office offering highlighting new options picked up and change will talk about graduation requirements cuz that's important that's pretty much in of the ultimate goal stop it. Talk about addiction standards for college, and then we'll talk about smart scheduling and I'll briefly outline what the scheduling plan what it look like your students and their classes I only do that for scheduling  so I'm going to try to go to some things to consider this Nuts and Bolts all sorted and see the does the teaching staff from the high school and reduce their department and and their names them and they'll go over some of the the key out dare program self so something so how many eighth grade parents have students at work are in the high school maybe I've already graduated so you may have been familiar with some of the process but not we want it when students are selected classes they want to keep in mind that their teeth I think their teacher recommendations are probably the sample recommendation because they spend so much time with your son and daughters in class and they really know where they're at educational and what their strengths are the teacher recommendations really critical our counselors may have recommendation as well, I think interest in subject areas weed for such a small school which have a lot of great opportunities for students so I think interesting subject and invited out to his Investment Systems Incorporated called you for plants 9th grade students may not know what they're going to be doing in 4 years and that's okay there's a senior for senior citizens maybe they don't know exactly what they're doing and that's okay as well so you guys do Toys R Us offering sale so just got highlights on the things wouldn't fight just a sword set by that bouncing don't think of Harriet said they maybe have a strong passion demonstrated some sex success and take advantage of opportunity we have students to maintain and you're going to hear about advanced placement Passenger cars auto parts that are talking about college credits maybe you guys actually what states give me to take on campus for a tow to recover State there's a lot of grade Advanced opportunities but if you wanted me to go to bounce so make sure you take an advantage of the in the dialect of opportunities to learn a language while you're at the high school or the activity what about that so much tonight I took a ton of activities for us to  sports musicals pink is that they're currently setting that up right now so students involved in the high school are the ones who demonstrate probably the most except so moving right along. We're talking about going out of here I'm actually going to bite mr. taking back up here the top highlights of the changes that we were sitting next year so why not use device companies that alright okay 1516 school year in its three main parts the three main parts are first of all the actual percentages of it swing red you're not fall a 90 80 70 60 basically grading scale that is outline on page of ink 11 selection Campbell like to look at that it posted this up on the wall is that we're going to value and we're going to give waited horses they're therapy now at 5.0 as opposed to a 4.5 in the past any courses that previous what call Ellen Ramen or pcso courses that are taken on a college campus are now going to be waited at 5.0 as opposed to status significant change the Third change about this new grading scale begins with its when we start to give that weighted bomb to a great in the past you had to get a be minus which is an 83% on the previous play you're the one that were currently under and moving forward will be a c minus 70% so those are three pretty big changes that we want to make you aware of it and we all the thing that they do fly into the scheduling process as you're considering which courses to take you think that he'll stretch his that are kind of on the fence course if they're really passionate about but they don't know that they want to necessarily take the AP course or even something is college credit marrying or not but we hope that helps our kids stretch just a little bit and also we hope that it evens the playing field with our other schools in district we want our kids to be competitive is possible young for local scholarships took me on state-level federal level and also for college acceptance so we're pretty excited about that we think that's a very positive change for kids one really important detail is that this new grading scale I will not be retroactive in with the 2015-16 and it'll be across the board for every single student so if you're a freshman currently Refreshments to cry you'll music Iran our current ratings do  next year you will begin the new Great Escape so sensual you have one year of high school Under the current ratings 3 years under the new grades  we've also included in FAQ on our website on the Magista loud and I think Brian has a link to that right there but it is our main page on the district website also on the main page of our high school website 160 you can click on that and we basically try to include we haven't gotten a lot of questions about it but we tried to include any questions and people might perfect, I'm a go over a couple quick things you'll see first of all that collection and books divided into three main categories the first section the first third of the book really hot academic plan a graduation honors diploma highlights messed up copy of them things that are needed for so like what what is it vacation through High School Middleburg is course description I think that's probably way to learn a little bit more detail. how many questions are being highlighted tonight at classes a semester class which means either about the Euro second-half deer or pull your class will your long class as I'm looking at this slide particular transitional last one Heritage classes maybe a semester-long would you earn high school credit for that you don't have to worry about that so much tonight that's something I'll work out with you with your son or daughter when we actually be scheduling it'll make more sense when it's in front of them and they're actually actively scheduling but I mentioned a p problem caused credit class tonight and see these letters in front of different courses so advancement placement in some of you guys are replacement has been around a long time we've been able to increase our offerings here expand what we have available for kids on distress and selves in different areas for instance we just added AP art history last year which I think really demonstrates the is committed to providing College of a rigorous courses to all students, freshman level College course talk here at the high school about that the high school next door at the high school by our high school teachers that are there trains the table program pause place about 2 weeks ago what was formerly called dual enrollment so does college classes and give you college and high school credit that you can either take here on our campus or at Columbus State so you may see those letters pop up throughout tonight I just want to make sure you're aware of that and we're talking about Friday those are the units that students accumulate for graduation purposes State dictates how many credits as Sudanese to have to be considered a graduate of the high school state of Ohio will you tell somebody they probably are getting high school credits what substance being done that is the 7th grader geometry French 1 Spanish 1 these are all high school level classes that they may eventually taken here at the middle school how to make some students movie coming to the high school with with a quick some credits in high school GPA that they've already accumulated so the graduation requirements for the state of Ohio credit-wise seriously that 21 credits that's the minimum students to challenge self and go beyond that and I'm the only a little bit more about that later but for you for social studies science 3 credits in mathematics they need to have a half-credit of PE a half-credit of **** half predator personal finance currently and 5 and 1/2 Collective symbol explains for what the electric look like so with that I'ma turn it over to the real all stars of tonight at restaurant at Potomac not mathematics. Miss Meister La Meister is what about teachers in our department she's going to drink. the course offerings and things to consider for the classes you may choose and I do want it please I want to thank you for small in front of everybody these teachers are come out tonight they're volunteering their time to be here and can they may have to step out and said they're presented I just want to give them to me. all the teachers here over there Ozark state of Ohio require that much so what is Oliver one geometry the third one Algebra 2 and then after algebra 2 things get a little bit of kids get a little bit more choice what we offer in terms of Algebra 1 geometry honors geometry geometry with extension Algebra 1 after algebra 2 honors 03 Bianchi with extension all of those are just different levels of the same course providing different levels of challenge for students the honors classes are designed to help her locate eventually to get through the AP Calculus the the other classes the regular levels are typically those students are going to go into either Erica statistics and then these extension classes what the extension courses are out for one of the extension is ginger in an older one class and then they get mr. A day without your support from a math teacher  the one that extra. play extension. Is worth an elective credit it is safer geometry the algebra 2 extension what can does count as the 4th math credit so didn't you really struggle with math faking once they get through Algebra 2 as long as they take Algebra 2 with extension that will be their fourth math credit option after algebra 2 we basically have three different options honors pre-calculus is again designed to put kids in a place to be successful in AP calculus FST is kind of is called a survey course it's kind of an introduction to some of the topics of precalculus the first first of the year is precalculus cuz we got a lot of feedback from graduate saying that they were doing fine or coarse going to have to take staff when I got to college and I want he wanted to provide at least an introduction to staff the other option is AP Statistics my favorite class song teacher College statistics course while they take anything as long as they've already taken Algebra 2 so the prerequisite is a b or higher in the teacher recommendation in Algebra 2 would you encourage students especially if you have some students who are in Algebra 2 right now that are thinking maybe they want to take pre-calc maybe want to take AP Stat if there double up for a year and take AP Stat with another class they should do it with honors pre-calc rather than AP calc we don't want to take two AP math classes in the same here so they can soon as they've gotten through out for two they can take that increased at anytime they want some soon taking AP calc as Juniors they can take it as a senior they wanted to what's the AP Calculus packaging college credit AP stats gives you college credits in the new achieve high enough on the AP statistics Exam with AP calculus college credit plus we do a dual not the one because it snow college career plus calculus Extension Course through Columbus State does one of the teachers that needs to leave very quickly if you have any questions please feel free to email me or anything juvenile department you can find this from the district website would be happy to answer any questions you have thanks  Jason White stop Capital car that the speaker so I don't have his intro music this time to watch the other time but he's going to highlight some of the place what's the part of the language of, into me places that are islands  okay thank you again Kevin McCarthy I teach 10th and 12th grade the high school simple because it's on the English level it's a little bit more simplistic you have two options perdre level assembly with a couple of leftovers that I'll hit on what you can read for scriptions and you can follow depression pretty clearly just by looking at the handbook that you have what I'd like to do is just wait a few things that you probably won't find in the look up a few pieces information and questions that we get all the time the first thing is this a lot of parents wonder why we don't have courses like literature or world with four composition and there's a reason for that was a reason why our levels it's Englishtown English 10 and 11 English 12 is that our courses are organized by theme and our forces are integrated which means that rather than have a year starting the British literature year volume for any given level of English is going to include a diversity of text diversity of literature and on the same level we don't separate where you can write either so you won't change the pur composition course in Keller for course we believe those to be so closely Linked In the learning process that any English course is going to writing speaking with name Etc it's nasty rumor which is that s you look from year ones here for you we have the English 9 10 11 and 12 across the board honors English 9 honors English 10 in the AP courses on the Junior and senior level I want to make it very clear those tinglish nominating 10 11 and 12 courses are by no means some sort of remedial or basic course this is something that I think sometimes can be confusing that if your son or daughter is taking English now instead play honors option that's some sort of remedial course that's not the case that's going to be a very challenging course the differences Zephyr students who feel some sort of proclivity or skill set that suits them for more of a challenge that level or students play more of an interest in that subject area and would like to be challenged and push a little further is there because this is a concern to a lot of parents we English Department offices are AP classes are no longer college credit plus classes which simply means that the way to get college credit in those courses is to take the AP test at the end of the year but even the three for a 5 on the AP Lang test as a junior or the AP Lit test is the senior should get you a most universities 3 Hours mystery our credit and another thing that parents used to be the case I don't know why every was the case but it used to be until the AP junior level class as well as the NDC level class would still only equate to one class 4 how college credit and in most schools is no longer the case which is great for your students and great for my students that if you take both baby horses you will get separate credits and substance would enter with two English classes already under their belt I think that's important to mention the other thing you'll see a couple opalescence temperature is a great class for kids to read that's an elective class open to anyone 9 through 12 self-selected reading plan just got another dress okay who likes to read and love the time to do it and get to meet with that group of like-minded folks and discuss the things that are being brats a great life death the song studies is on the oven to 11 to 12 graders but that is an introductory film analysis for supposed to Sun setting dilnaz text can you call I would love to mention anything else that you'd like to find you can probably find in the catalog but the same thing goes for English as what was Meister said we're always available I guess I'll probably around a little bit afterwards tonight as well if you have any questions thank you  Meghan McCarthy next up we have Evan Smith representing our social studies history department and he'll talk about course offerings in that department and so the bed exchanges that ever that are higher than console teachers are social studies Department it's fairly simple but can be very complex and finding out where your son or daughter is going to fall so I'll start with the simple part incoming freshman and current freshman so going to be sophomores it's fairly simple their requirements it's three years freshman years world history saw what year is American history jr. is going to be government so that's that's fairly simple I know that's the majority of you here are incoming freshman and then and also saw so that's kind of those are the basics and that's what's required on top of that we do have certain electors that are available to students moving forward we have a psychology and sociology last two different semester classes are taught by Columbus State professors that come to our school they come to a Grandview Heights High School fix those classes 3 days a week just like it would be taught on Columbus State campus the students me all five days in those two days were the Columbus Day professors there that's where I kind of bridge the gap between College expectation and high school students most of them are Juniors and seniors and and what they're used to Anna high school class pause professors expect those two days activities or helping kids get caught up on what the professor pretty rewarding not experience for the students that do take those classes too many class also that we offer the AP European History American history that can be taken if students choose not to do the regular level world history for America where to get a little bit turning transition to this government is a current current stock market returns sophomore we're going to sign up for a semester class of government next year it won't be a full class of government via semester class and that's just good for making a transition from teaching government fresh what year the teaching in junior year so if their occurrence sophomore they're going to sign up this spring for that required American government class however for just next that's only going to be a half a credit so they're also going to have to take psychology sociology or Global issues to fulfill the three shut it hours they need and social cents and again if your student is an incoming freshman or going to be a sophomore you don't have to worry about that  if there is off for now they need to take that half credit and sign up another have credits if I explain that can you ask questions I'll be here after if your if your student is is going to be a junior next year I can explain what they have to do but it just adds a little bit actually they meet need to make up that have credit because next the government's only going to be a half also not a college credit plus that's just caught in the high school level class which is an option to get another half a kind of book as we move forward some of the younger students will also have an opportunity AP Government when they're juniors if they don't if they want to go Napier out anything will be offered not next year with the year after is 2:30 you all things in our can you talk about financial call Yahoo financial literacy  aspect of it so if your child is a sophomore in there taking government next year credit government they also have to sign up for personal finance business department that's a state requirement that they have to take next I guess if your student is younger and their incoming freshmen or return freshman that financial literacy will be part of their year-long government class junior year set up episode that something you don't even have to worry about every part of that last me off this if that's not a concern is there soon it is that soft one two things government next year they also have to sign I got to know if it's a little fuzzy for those people that are that are sophomores and then moving up I'll be here afterwards and if I need to explain enough I'll be working with the students for their den schedule and I'll reiterate this with the students and we Viper Serio we've developed an online scheduling process that we work with soonest we we actually have the bility to coat the online scheduling system to prevent games from sign up for wrong place failsafe but but for the most part works out pretty good in that happened really actually helps got in the students them out about that in a little bit so I haven't done a lot of changes lie great opportunities in the social studies department so appreciate you going over that I do want it volume is stable has the students to take 383 credits to social studies in Business Without my head so they can space off for years and I'll talk about some of the benefits of taking core classes for classes are considered language arts English language arts mathematics science which will talk about your next social studies colleges actually also appreciate this block here College of awesome count the world Legos in foreign languages Spanish and French that repeats here has core classes now  so moving right along what Bible verse is revealing up here to talk about science offerings and some of the action unique opportunity thank you my friend said my name is Rihanna Wheelin and I currently teach honors biology and biology 2 at the high school  4 Play It Again song horse have pretty much an introductory classes that we offer for a freshman it's physical science or honors physical science honors physical Premier League gear for those students to take a particular interest in science or are looking to take AP courses in the future in the science areas and for your two while Jesus same kind of things by liver honors biology is geared more for those students who are looking to take the egg Define Sports in the future your three students are have more options available to them and the first is biology AP biology is requires having had honors biology although in the student is biology 1 and is performing really well and once the challenge of taking a pipe AP biology they would certainly have that option but biology is preferred as well as chemistry and then a new purse were offering this next year is anatomy and physiology and so it strongly recommended that take an atomi and Physiology either prior to taking AP Bio or alongside AP Bio for chemistry we have cabbage create an honors chemistry and then also another new purse that were offering is anatomy and physiology and marine biology physiology in Marine Biology those are both also options for juniors as well as seniors both of those horses have file me an honors biology or honors biology is prerequisite  the marine biology course is more about the Marine ecology and versity of the organisms and the environment and then Anatomy physiology focuses on structure and function body five systems  and it is allowed base horse since I have a few parents of Juniors this year here they are the food stamps are currently taking bio to I would say that the first semester of bio2 is heavily marine biology and so those students may find some of the material in Marine Biology very similar to what they're currently studying in Bayou to however we will go into how far death with marine biology course and then and out of his busy almost pretty much anything so I'm just kind of keep that in mind finally free fourth you have AP Chemistry physics physics requires precalculus and also cash and I wanted to stress that the prerequisite for physics the precalculus prerequisite that Define abstinence completed precalculus before actually taking physics rather than side-by-side it just helps a lot with the math portion of the fizz class  pretty much chemistry just do this I know chemistry is no longer offered as dual enrollment or college credit plus like it was this year and then also biology to will no longer be oh I'm also to your house to take off here but if you have any questions feel free to email myself or any of the other teachers and the lights social studies, there's only three require three graduate requirements for science physical science and biology students how to take that there's noise coming from what any one of those options at that. stopped about if it's going to be Reba you also have to take the other at semester of anatomy and physiology to round out the free but again Midway 100 are considered taking Science High School  how big are we have to stay. Schedule like this started about weird schedules going to allow for you to be able to take advantage of these opportunities and still take it and roll and some of the exciting elected guitar that being said I'm going to highlight a couple other graduation were pirates real quick and I'll let them electives teachers talk about their departments as well Toby being Health there's a store graduation requirements for students in the state of Wyoming we just handle a little bit you need in Ohio now OK Google, show me the physical education students need to remember from earlier they need a half a credit of PE to Trenton nearest Paso used to be attempt to Porter credit classes when you're done with the the state of Ohio came developed the PE waiver system soonest revolving sport cheerleading band can actually use those seasons of those Sports towards the waiver soon students need to do  to race 9 through 11 and participate in two seasons of sports up your cross what is wrong when you run the ball of your freshman year and fall of your sophomore year you burned the PE waiver if you are Junior and you do soccer in the fall and wrestling in the winter than you did two seasons that's you bring your PE waiver discounts cheerleading Kelso does have diseases have to be completed between the Great Bridge 9 to 11 so let him have to find some credit, take it towards that 21 total credits most of our things and mr. chicken Stan over here now he did some research or most of our students have close to 20 credits going into the senior so getting to 21 credits is not really an invite I just want to make that point because some people think I'd be waiver and I have to worry about that happen Fred now so the other option sport band or cheerleading, we also have an independent study that students would participate actually mr. Gilbert if you know mr. going from the L score is certified k12 and he. He is the independent Independent Study High School **** that's a semester class another half of the students need to graduate with a couple years ago I should read before I started here at The District in the decision to offer how does an online course it's a course of everybody has helped students not only have an option down for their help Rick and them but they experience it down like Horsemen play graduate high school so many colleges are leaving when did online learning experiences or creating more more online courses I'm service guitar stands gratitude to navigate what it means to be an online learner which sometimes is a little trick shut up we are at the priority members to the primary goes to the students are closest to graduate we have primarily New Year's in the in that class so they have 18 weeks to complete of that course business Information Technology mr. Johnson he's our business and our computer science teacher you about rights to departments and in what city was named okay for this evening someone highlight of his forces all the courses he teaches our semester courses so there's personal finance which we talked about is a current graduation requirement since are going to be Juniors next year we'll up at 2 or will need to take this personal finance to semester class to graduate  thoughts are to be seen business principles is another option for students top PC applications and misses that supports that we used to be called Computer Applications it's the same Force but the college credit plus this new state initiative we have to actually change the title of course the match the course catalog of it fits into some more top 10 9 through 12 actually on high school and college credit in that PC applications by Design courses to take off after Spaceman graphic arts class as soon as contained as a repeatable class journalism if you've heard about the word that's her Student News organization album map where I can ominous or open to students 9 through 12 AP macroeconomics is the 12th grade is currently semester class and you need to have that the finest completed before you participate in that so I'm getting personal finances that graduation requirement mr. Smith sort of already highlighted the transition the financial literacy requirement by the state industrial technology and students Middle School no mr. get her because it teaches we share on a between two buildings so there's more your lung questions he changes Technology robotics and Engineering. Basically how about the net force if you haven't seen his classroom has been newly renovated there's a lot of state-of-the-art Technology the whole thing I think in there besides the computer that he has now Brother sewing machines classes it's for the introductory pasta all the tools that are off that are part of his shop and then student said ratings for your lungs to the blood one with secrets I am going to at this point well mr. McKay what about the blankets in the lady charge department and a mass invite Italian turtle come up and talk about forming options evening Sunday State Park history teacher pleasures of the other so  about the music offering that we have order of fans burns drive in Sulphur band there is the marching bands and Hunter band open to all the only weird thing about it is if you are a football player and you're also in band he would only take half credit  Peyton Van killer the other band offering is now closed Jazz Ensemble last year it was the advance instrumental Ensemble Advanced instrumental music so I can see in your course aim your child change the name that was also open to any great but requires an audition which will happen I believe after spring break this year and mr. Herman will send out information about that String orchestra at the new craft that was added this year next year it will be all year round and although it says that there are no cracks in in the course description it is intended for students who have already had several years of stirring experience on if your child is interested in and participate in strings in his never done it before they are allowed to if they're willing to take from private lessons another option finally the choir offerings are the concert choir which is open to anybody and then the Grandview singers which is primarily for logos had at least one year of concert choir but it's by auditions so if if that your child is a freshman and asriel tell him to the finals auditions will happen in my and I believe you are supposed to sign up for the hunter fire until you hear that you needed it to Randy's oh yes and then the last one is the advanced placement music theory class which is only open to Juniors and seniors and requires the permission of one instructors as well as participation he sells it for the sick Performing Arts areas so feel free to ask any questions afterwards or get in touch with one of the other Gala great opportunities in our school so stay selected we are waiting on this respect covered those earlier and then we have this Kathryn Kelsey to talk about that art opportunities to Department of 1.1 quinoa healthy visual art teacher I'm going to go briefly through the offerings that we have first of all it's pretty simple we start with our foundations and all pause is already here long on our foundation's is an edge reports research shows that the vast majority of people in this country complete one all art at a secondary or Beyond level and that will be our foundation and sister 8 or so we don't really focus on how good you are making art but we focus on how Couture thinking about art and what kind of ideas you can have and what kind of things you do not focus on experimentation it's going to be like and basically just creating informed consumer part so the fun course but your stupid **** don't have to be best artists to do so that's a really good one that is the prereq for the rest although as for students progressed the courses and the girls that use high school if they don't have a chance to put that in people dying like Photo their whole life they can come talk to me we can work that out next drawing for long and dog I can't draw like we talked about a pencil is yet  so again it's a really good course that could come in normal has serving them Scale 1-10 right by yourself and then they are always making themselves out they make phenomenal progress in that course and really is when consumed come in they can all stay long when you are really think it's really great oyster even the mechanic they have actual talent so then we have to talk is kind of my baby play that's when you do album digital phone with something pause the factors in the back rear world and wheel projects if you want your kids feel the touch of your family pictures it's not really an art class anymore it stopped by up this is black in the English Department but that actually produces the yearbook and so very real the song Dancing from advertising to interviewing photographing making the pages and how to work with the deadline to work with the publishing come and responded a really good job is going back on the journalism so that's a good time is repeatable normally is open to so many for the future if your head in any fashion. what's 212 are bonding out it's kind of a one-on-one of course we're all start out with ho hey here's your project is printmaking we're going t-shirts and he'll go through all of that now and then it held their own project then I give them another things and look into some more Alternative forms of Art and also to look at this more contemporary artists and see what's happening today at the office right one and then that's aren't you to complete an APR for volume it is not a place you do not get a credit but they do have the option to make a portfolio which convey submitted to the College Board for potential card credit I hope you can do that and it is an option is out.  So let me also if your history and hate your histories new this year it's also can my baby is a course it is the same as if you were to take survey courses to the lower level courses at the University for one year since you semester courses it goes all the way through prehistory stop all the way up to what's happening today in the world so we be looking all about percentage all the way to today so it's really great course it is a challenge with rollers courses that should handle something like design  architecture the load of architectural history would come right there what design graphic design computer design the web design not like going computer websites cuz I love the same thing but if they're looking at anything visual what's a great foundation for themselves AP course fee to take really good idea for a kid wants to give him some challenge  two daily questions yeah my great opportunities it's one thing I find Sanger High School was that we don't really small school will be a barrier for us to provide these things to let kids and gauge their interest can actually challenging self biotic and I'd like a page APA Park District type class again there all year long passes out with that set of my invite on head up here about the world languages the Legends are on there sweetheart in Spanish in Grandview some of your kids may have started language study in middle schools of the French one right now with Moses term for Spanish ones Smith High School Credit they will have an opportunity to earn five or possibly five and a half credits language study are simple you start in level 1 to level 2 and then to level 3 three the kids House close to me they can go on to what is the AP or pre AP trap level 4 the the pre-ap trapped or now we have an elective in each of the language is a cultural elective for those kids who feel like they I want to do AP French Learning cultural reading piece Spanish language and culture they can take the bike and take the culture of course the culture course is target language just like if they took level 4 but it's focuses more on cultural perspective and cultural appreciation versus stop language integration with cultural site which is what the pre AP and the AP courses. For student who is really play witches and somebody who we have several students next year who are going to double up into the culture horse and a p cuz I think they might want to study language at the college level they could theoretically end up with 5.5 credits of language learning language is in my opinion the most important 21st century skill right now we really need to be focusing on teaching our children to be able to communicate can appreciate cultures other than their own and we have a great program in our high school to help kids develop their the language skills but also their cultural appreciation and understanding so  I wanted to say you have a car we do have a competency requirements moved from one level to the next apple scrap Outback the language language study is a spiral or scaffolded studying and so your success in the second level is kind of predicated on your your success until 1 I was so you have to have good foundation in order Google off so that's something a little bit different in the language Department  what I think I would like to add his head with our way to the AP reschedule so we had a 7% before we started this year in the pay period schedule this my sister has my depreciated this suits actually have take both French and Spanish if they want a Sprite or languages so you don't have saw  so we have some career-related options that are available to students a lot of these student a lot of these programs start and can your ear so hot for the parents that are sophomores knows that you plan to have these are opportunities are available for students, so mr. Chaffin already talked about the Freshman seminar that's going to be available for our currency freshman next year that'll be the place of the study hall that they'll take stop how's your long course I also have to call the Grandview work or program so students are interested in making work and take a more classes for half the day and working half the day they have a Hot Tuna Vernon electric credit program find the interested send me an email and I'll get you connected with the teacher in and removing the ball on for that well so we are very fortunate what's the Columbus for Days Inn Columbus downtown High School where they offer a wide variety of career options with the goals and credentialing in Panama thanks for the Catalyst to Columbus State my training programs they actually come out into in work with students sophomore students expose it to the opportunity so so that there's no real consensus you need to make about that tonight but I just want to make sure you're aware of that those opportunities we also when we have it seems like every year we have more more options other able that offer students um so a newer option for students this is going to be Arkansas was going into the junior here this Pathways to Prosperity basically what we've been able to do it's late with several High School turn on Gary.

Store in my contact information on website do you have any questions to be direct NBA president of the teachers, but that's out the question tonight well maybe Freeman gas Plus versus versus the API mean it is the death of the same to have some college credits to graduate that's a great question for those are not. What's the difference between AP and college prep classes if you saw a lot of the teachers talk about how is no longer offered in this industry  state of Ohio stop horse before regions as a Schnauzer to a college prep class tonight in the classroom together so there's no situation forced to make a choice between and can you park Hosmer Craigslist class over with because of the new process with eliminated that but what's the end game call Credit Plus in the 80 the goal of those courses to have students tape and experience would a college-level force to be like  the difference is the college buses that those are actual cause classes so we have Partnerships with Central Heights Akram, we also have problems that we have the parts of with as well so I'll soon as well actually by successfully completing those college credit classes classes will earn pause the is not necessary wake me up that made suicide that are things where I highlighted this earlier working on how about the score on that dinner sad that this restore from this also couple different things I think you did a great job there's one or two more things I wanted to add as far as our watch Credit Plus courses are our concern they are all packed credits which means 100% rate of transfer the Public Public universities or colleges in the state I think that's an important piece and I would say and Brian you may be able to answer this a little bit better but a p as a very very strong way in terms of how college is considerate from a just the way to transcript standpoint the rigor of your transcript that AP course ways very yeah leave it above and beyond that of a college football scores just because there's so many different places that offer college credit plus it may be a cheater institution I'm like an art and are chasing it, stick it dance colleges outside of Ohio are familiar with a David it's International for joint and and Ohio State's is becoming more and more of terrorist lack of school today one of the first things they do and the holistic students of channels in cell so I would say don't take an AP or college prep class class just because there's a way to gray to it or doesn't potential of earning cost Reddit you want to be able to mix can strong Foundation those areas and then that you will be successful woman's clothes and stuff  that's a great question and we do the college prep plus a secondary that's all under one umbrella now and we have we had a meeting about that I think information about available car is going to be available here shortly tell my landlord about that broken start does diplomas with honors handsome but one of the eight you know Christ Gary being that they have to graduate with a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale but then now turn the 5.0 scale or whatever it is that what does that Translate to thought that that changes for the weight of AP classes and now the college credit plus I was one of the other sort of how is water important part of the criteria set by the state for college prep classes then we have to wait cause those college classes like the wood 80 so they just have additional away for those courses so we've already week we've had for years a 4.5 for honors and AP so it's going to be it'll be say Ultram the same as me right that's such a good point, I would up my message that the eighth graders will hear from me and that you want to start high school strong it's a lot easier to maintain that I'm going to try to bring that to you gay up over the course of 40 or so but it has a 3.0 they try harder that's not really anything to to be upset about a Justin Bieber criteria that's why they say Saturday so if they leave the other side. call Sandy call me hit 96 right now
