How would you work to effectively address the needs of all students when there could possibly be students taking Earth Science, Biology, and/or Chemistry in your class? or World History I, II, VA/US History, and Government? Math Many of the students that we serve in our math classes during the summer session have already experienced failure in the course that they will be taking. How do you plan to motivate these students and help them experience success? English How do you plan on maximizing the effectiveness of your instruction in a combined classroom (grades 9 & 12 or 10 & 11)? Since English in summer school will be a mixture of virtual and face-to-face instruction, how might you structure your day? P.E. How do you plan to structure your 6 hour physical activity time with your students? If the track were to be off limits, what would your plan be to ensure students satisfied the PE requirements?
