Educational Program of the School. The School is premised on student-centered practices which emphasize personalization; high expectations, hands-on and group learning experiences, teaching of 21st century skills, performance-based assessments; and opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice and develop their craft as well as shared leadership among teachers, staff, administrators, and parents. Schools that incorporate these key features of student-centered practice are more likely to develop students that have transferrable academic skills; feel a sense of purpose and connection to school; as well as graduate, attend, and persist in college at rates that exceed their district and state averages.

Educational Program of the School. The two essential elements of the school’s program are providing gender specific education and developing individual learning plans for all students. First, our staff and students are organized into a Boys’ Academy and Girls’ Academy. o Strategies utilized for boys include giving time and strategies to solve conflicts; presenting information in short verbal chunks; including opportunities for movement throughout the day; building movement into lessons; including small motor stimulation in lessons; providing graphic organizers; incorporating drawing in lessons before writing; allowing choice of high interest topics in reading and writing; using academic competition and rapid responses. o Strategies utilized for girls include celebrating assessments and gains on those assessments; teaching effective test taking and stress reduction strategies; providing opportunities for communication throughout the day; working in teams that are chosen by the teacher; using approaches to learning that elicit verbal responses; allowing the use of colored pencils, pens and highlighters; providing opportunities for collaboration; developing word problems with content relevant to students; and building meaningful relationships and connections to adults and fellow students. Second, we develop Personal Education Plans (PEPs) for all students. You can observe the individual plans in each classroom and will see and hear students talking about goals and how near they are to accomplishing them. o At beginning of year, all families attend a conference to create individual PEPs. Staff, student and families collaborate to develop academic and social emotional goals for both remediation and acceleration. o At mid-year, all families review PEPs with teachers and the student and revise as necessary. o At end of year, PEPs are distributed to student's teacher for the next school year. o One strategy used in PEPs is providing field experiences in our surrounding community known as Out of School Instruction. o Class assignment throughout a particular school year and from one school year to the next is similarly determined by discussions during development and reflection on PEPs, resulting in mixed grade levels in one classroom.
Educational Program of the School. The key provisions related to J. Xxxx Xxxxxx Academy’s education approach and philosophy are Project Based Learning and Spanish Language Acquisition. These major components are our content delivery models. The Spanish Language Acquisition is presently implemented in 2016 in grades K-4. A school grade will be added each year until the entire school is a Spanish Language Acquisition school. Teachers teaching the Spanish Language Acquisition will have a bi-lingual endorsement. In 2017-2018, the Spanish Acquisition program will be implemented in K-6 In 2018-2019, the Spanish Acquisition program will be implemented in K-7 in 2019-2020, the Spanish Acquisition program will be implemented in K-8 Children in the Spanish Language Acquisition are actively involved in learning, participating in planning projects that are meaningful to them and working with and for their community to complete these projects using two languages, in a small, nurturing, child-focused environment. A commitment to Healthy Life Skills is a pillar of the school’s educational program. This is evidenced, for example, by the practice of a daily walk, expanded Physical Education instruction, and a food service program that centers on fresh-daily meals with a heavy emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruit, locally produced as often as possible. Music and Art classes are also included as integral and indispensable components of the JPTA school week. Project-Based Learning is implemented through experimenting with true student leadership, sharing failures and successes, discussing options to identify best solutions to problems, negotiating, compromising, and, ultimately, supporting each other.
