I. THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

A description of the educational program of the school, designed, among other things, to identify those whom the school is attempting to educate, what it means to be an educated person in the 21st century, and how learning best occurs. The goals identified in that program shall include the objective of enabling pupils to become self-motivated, competent, and lifelong learners. California Education Code Section 47605 (b)(5)(A)

History
Leroy Greene Academy was established in 2012 as a dependent charter in the Natomas Unified School District (District or NUSD), to serve students in grades Kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12). The Charter School is authorized to serve students in grades Kindergarten through 12. For the 2012-2013 school year, the Charter School will open with grades 7 and 8. The Charter School will open one additional secondary grade level each consecutive school year (from grade 9 to grade 12) until the Charter School is a comprehensive 7th -12th secondary school site in the 2016-2017 school year. The Charter School anticipates opening its elementary program serving grades K-6 at a later date.

Course Offerings and Curriculum

The Charter School will give students an opportunity to choose one of two programs: The first program will focus on visual arts that integrates current technology directly into the daily curriculum. Over the course of 7th - 12th grades, students choosing this program will be enrolled in classes designed to apply skills they have acquired in introductory art classes (in 7th & 8th grades) to the world of technology via classes in graphic design, web design, 3D animation, and commercial art. When students choosing this program reach the 12th grade, they will also work in partnership with local businesses on a final senior project. Having such a foundation will better prepare students for college courses in pursuit of a career in technology via visual arts. Guest speakers, university visits, and field trips to related businesses will be scheduled throughout the students program enrichment courses to support the educational process. The second program will focus on business and marketing. This program will ensure that 7th - 12th grade students choosing this program will leave secondary education with a sound understanding of the principles of business, entrepreneurship, marketing and advertising, accounting, human resource management, and business ethics and leadership. When students choosing this program reach the 12th grade, they will also work in partnership with local businesses on a final senior project. With such a strong foundational knowledge of business, students will be better prepared for college courses in pursuit of a career in business and marketing. Guest speakers, university visits, and field trips to related businesses will be scheduled throughout the students program enrichment courses to support the educational process. All 7th and 8th grade students will be enrolled in wheel coursesOne wheel course will be offered in 7th grade, and one in 8th grade. These wheel courses will provide exposure to all students for both programs that the Charter School offers. Students will navigate through introductory material in basic art and business courses that will expose them to the concepts they

would study when they choose either program. The responsibility for the wheel classes would be shared with the appropriately credentialed teachers. All students will be enrolled in grade-level core course offerings, with the appropriate program enrichment courses to expand learning in their chosen program. Students enrolled in grades 9-12 will be enrolled in courses that meet the a-g requirements for admission to the UC/CSU system, along with their program enrichment courses each year. As a final project, seniors from the Visual Arts program will find a partner from the Marketing program. These partners will identify a product or service that they would like to market and promote. The product or service may be fictional, or it may be the result of a community need through a local business/organization. The students will offer their marketing and design services to promote the product or service as a real-world application. According to 2009-2010 data provided by the California Department of Education, NUSDs average percentage of students who graduated with the required courses for UC/CSU admission is below state and county averages, sitting at 29.8%. The Charter School will offer an option for students of all backgrounds to be consistently enrolled in courses that are required for UC/CSU admissions. Students will be required to earn a C letter grade in each course, per UC/CSU requirements. Core curriculum used will be the standard District board-approved curriculum used by the other schools in the District. Additional curriculum used for the enrichment courses will also be District board-approved. A successful student in the 21st Century will: Use the arts as a lens to see the world. Use critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Show self-motivation and self-discipline. Work cooperatively, while showing flexibility and adaptability. Communicate well with others in a variety of ways. Use technology as a tool. Have been exposed to and tolerant of a wide variety of cultures and ideas. Care about the community around them.

Disabilities and Education Improvement Act (20 U.S.C. sections 1400, et seq.) (hereinafter IDEIA) but shall be deemed a public school of the District. As such, the parties understand and agree that the District shall, in partnership with the Charter School, ensure that all students with exceptional needs who attend the Charter School are provided with a free and appropriate public education in compliance with the IDEIA. A child with disabilities attending the Charter School shall receive special education instruction or designated instruction and services, including transportation, in the same manner as a child with disabilities who attends another public school of the District. 1. The Charter School agrees to assume primary responsibility, and fully cooperate with the District, in identifying any student with special needs, including all students who seek enrollment at the Charter School or who are enrolled in the Charter School, and in convening annual IEPs.

The District shall be responsible for evaluating and assessing Charter School students identified by the Charter School who have or may have exceptional needs that qualify them to receive special education and/or related services. The Charter School will develop, maintain, and implement policies and procedures within the Charter School to ensure that students who have or may have exceptional needs are referred to the District for evaluation and assessment. If during the preplacement evaluation and assessment, or any subsequent IEP, it is determined by the IEP team that the Charter School is not an appropriate placement for a student with exceptional needs, the student will be referred to the District, or the pupils district of residence, for placement in an appropriate program that meets the needs of the student. 4. The District shall be responsible for developing, maintaining, and reviewing the form and format, as required by the Districts Special Education Local Plan Area, of all written IEPs for students who have or may have exceptional needs that qualify them to receive special education and/or related services. The Charter School will develop, maintain, and implement policies and procedures within the Charter

School to collaborate with the District in ensuring that IEPs are implemented for all students with exceptional needs who are enrolled in the Charter School. 5. The District shall retain all special education funds of the Charter School for services to special education pupils (i.e., special education funding allocation). In addition, the Charter School shall pay to the District a special education general fund encroachment fee for each unit of Charter School enrollment. The fee shall be computed by dividing the Districts total special education general fund encroachment in the current school year by the total number of units of District enrollment, including Charter School enrollment, in that school year. 6. The District shall address, respond, and/or investigate complaints received under the Districts Uniform Complaint procedure involving Charter School students receiving special education and related services from the District. The Charter School shall cooperate with the District in responding to such complaints as required by the District. 7. The District may initiate and shall defend against due process hearings involving any Charter School student receiving special education and related services from the District in accordance with federal and state law. In the event any due process hearing is filed against the District, the District, as the LEA providing special education to Charter School students, shall be responsible for the Districts costs associated with filing for or defending against the due process hearing.

Grades are compiled from tests, homework, class assignments, and projects. The grading scale is as follows: 4 - Advanced (mastery of standards) 3 - Proficient (working at grade-level) 2 - At-Risk/ Basic (working one grade below current level) 1 Below Basic (working at least two grade levels below) Homework Policy: 1. Homework should be expected each night, Monday through Friday. All homework assignments will be announced and written on the board and student daily agendas. 2.

Welcome Welcome to the new year! I look forward to getting to know each and every student as the year progresses. Seventh grade is an important time in the lives of middle school students. It marks the crucial point of passage from the self-contained elementary classrooms to the departmentalized setting of the high school. I am here to assist both students and parents in this transition both as a teacher and advisor. Required Materials Students are expected to come to class prepared and ready to learn at the beginning of every class accompanied with the following materials: Spiral notebooks Pencils Erasers Lined paper Students are also recommended to purchase: Scissors, colored pencils/markers, scientific calculators, glue sticks We will occasionally participate in projects that require additional materials. In this case, students will be told ahead of time what to bring to class. Grading Students will be graded based on assessments of the four power standards of the CA Seventh Grade Mathematics Standards. These strands are Number Sense, Algebra/Functions, Geometry/Measurement, and Statistics/Probability. Students grades will also be based on their homework, classwork, projects, etc. Thus, grades will be broken down as follows: 10% Homework, Class Work, Notebook, etc. 25% Algebra/Functions 25% Number Sense 20% Geometry/Measurement 20% Statistics/Probability Make-up/Late Policy I allow students to make-up tests for a higher grade at any time during the year. Students must set up a retake time with me. This policy pertains to topic tests and major assessments only. In addition, students may only retake a test twice. Students are not allowed to retake quizzes. However, students have the option to correct their mistakes on their quizzes in order to earn half of their missed points back. If a student is absent from class, they are given the number of days that they missed in order to finish the work they missed. For example, if a student misses a week of class due to illness, they will have up to 7 days to complete their missing work. After that, no credit will be given. Late work will be accepted only in certain circumstances. If a student does not complete an assignment on time, it is very important that they come see me to discuss their situation.

Appendix B

Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year! Dear Parents, Welcome back to school! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to each of you. My name is Mrs. X and I am your students seventh grade Social Studies teacher. I have really enjoyed getting to know the students so far. They are all amazing children! I am a firm believer that grading must be tied into student learning. My purposes for grading your students are: to communicate their achievement status and to reflect on my instructional practices. Achievement and learning is measured in a variety of ways. The policies and instructional practices in this classroom will reflect that thinking. The content taught in class is aligned to the California Standards and instructional practices are research-based. Classroom Policies Grading:
Homework is collected in notebook format, meaning that I will collect all work at the end of each unit. This includes all assignments I handout including homework. Each assignment is given a number and should be kept in specific order. Folders can be kept in class if your student is afraid of misplacing work. Students will receive their standards based formative assessment and the grading rubric at the beginning of each unit of study. It will be my job to facilitate the learning so that students are prepared for their assessments and that they are able to achieve their grade level standards. Students will assist in the grading of their work. Student effort and behavior grades will be separated from achievement grades. Students will be graded based on their achievement of their Social Studies standards.

Homework (Unfinished Class Work) Policy:

The seventh grade team is committed to making sure the students lead balanced lives. Students in my class can expect to have some homework (unfinished class work) throughout the week. There will be time to in class to work on assignments. Work that is not completed in a class period is considered unfinished class work. Each student is responsible for writing their homework down in their daily planner. A daily parent signature is required for students once they miss 3 assignments in a term (for the rest of the term).

Late Work and Absences:

I do allow for late work. The purpose of an assignment is to see if a student has achieved the learning. It will be the responsibility of the student to make up all work that is missed due to illness or vacation. The student will get one extra day per absence to complete their work.

7th Grade Social Studies Mrs. X.

Appendix B

If a student is struggling to complete their assignments in a timely manner---I will take their time. They will be expected to make their assignments up during lunch or another appropriate time during the school day.

Classroom Rules:
No food (including gum) or drinks other than water Respect your peers, respect your teacher, respect yourself No use of any electronic devices in the classroom

Classroom Expectations:
Be on time and prepared Talking while your instructor is talking is the biggest form of disrespect. Late work will be accepted, however, dont expect to receive full credit. If you are absent it is your responsibility to obtain any missed assignments. o The student has the number of days absent to turn in the work, and that is it! Restroom use during class time is a privilege. o I reserve the right to take away restroom privileges at any time. Class ends only when I excuse you!

Behavior Expectations (Discipline without Stress):

Seventh graders will be given the tools to act more socially responsible. In class we will create and agree to a list of norms expected to be followed in the classroom. These norms will be used in our day to day learning. If norms are broken, students can expect: Behavior Expectations: First infraction: Warning (verbal) Second infraction: Complete Refocus form Third infraction: Phone call and/or detention Fourth infraction: Student sent to office

Positive and negative phone calls will be made as needed.

Materials:
Students will be expected to bring their materials to class daily. Required Materials: Pencil Folder Paper Social Studies book or related material assigned by teacher Colored pencils, markers, or crayons Highlighters (pink, green, yellow, blue, purple) Free reading book

Appendix F

Master Teacher Defined

Specific standards-based instruction is evident.
Standards are integrated into instruction and are part of the classroom environment. Teachers continually refer or make reference to the standards throughout instruction. Daily lesson content and student assignments are directly related to one or more appropriate grade level state academic standards. Teachers reference and explain the standards contained in the lesson/objective in terms the students will know and understand.

Teachers decisions about instruction reflect backwards mapping; a process where teachers have identified the standards they want to teach, and textbooks and teacher created materials support the instruction.
Students can explain the standard they are working on. When students receive a passing letter grade, they have met the proficiency levels of the state standards. Student letter grades are supported by evidence of student work reflecting mastery of appropriate grade level academic standards. A variety of current standards based student work in all curricular areas is displayed throughout the classroom. Sufficient examples of proficient and advanced level work are included as models for student reference. Teachers use standards based performance assessments regularly (monthly, every 6 weeks, quarterly), either publisher or teacher created, to provide students feedback and adjust instruction accordingly. Teachers and students evaluate the academic performance of students based on the quality of their work compared to the state standard of proficiency. This would include working as teams to evaluate student performance using a rubric. Students use standards based performance rubrics for self-assessment on a regular basis.

Teachers regularly communicate with parents regarding academic achievement on the state standards.
