Below is the form needed to refer students to the ALC Resource (ie Study Skills) class. I run this class 6th and 7th hour. My goal in this class is to help students to connect to school and create a positive atmosphere for learning. Much of my time in this class is spent helping students navigate through the written and unwritten rules of school. I help them get organized and help them to understand what is expected of them in order to "do well" in school. They are required to set goals, both quarterly and daily for what they hope to accomplish.
I do my best to advocate for all of my ALC students since many of them don't have the support outside of school to do so for them.
Please be as specific as possible when filling out the form. It can be completed by either a team or classroom teacher. I want to know exactly what you expect students to accomplish in the class.
Please talk to me before or after school if you have questions about the program and what can be accomplished. Students can be in the class for one quarter, or the entire year depending upon the need. Please remember that this class does replace one of their class hours so they will most likely be taken out of an exploratory class and have a schedule change. -Jodi Swenson
