The document discusses the rationale and benefits of implementing a 9th grade academy at Wissahickon High School. A 9th grade academy aims to ease the transition to high school through a smaller learning community that focuses on building academic and social skills. Research shows 9th grade academies can lead to fewer disciplinary issues, better study habits, and higher GPAs. The proposed Wissahickon academy would utilize teacher collaboration, establish routines and expectations, and involve parents through activities like a student 10-year plan presentation.

Freshmen Academy MHS
The document discusses strategies to help support incoming 9th grade students through the transition to high school. It suggests creating a Freshmen Academy that isolates 9th graders into their own classes and program to ease the adjustment. Research shows transition programs can lower dropout rates from 24% to 8%. Ninth graders report less structure and support from teachers compared to middle school. The Freshmen Academy proposed would provide consistency across core classes, teach students organizational skills, clearly communicate agendas and objectives, assign and check homework regularly, and provide a clear syllabus and formative assessments. This is aimed to better support 9th graders through the pivotal first year of high school.

The new legislation and SEN code of practice will change how schools support students with special educational needs. Under the new framework, classroom teachers will be directly responsible for students in their class with SEN. Schools will also need to focus on involving students and their parents in decision making, and using evidence-based interventions to support students' education and transition to adulthood. The reforms aim to improve support for all students through high-quality, differentiated teaching and ensuring equal opportunities regardless of background.

The document discusses student retention rates at CSUSB and proposes ways to improve retention, especially from freshman to sophomore year. It finds that while CSUSB has higher retention rates than average for the CSU system, about a quarter of students still leave after two years. Common reasons for leaving include academic difficulties, inability to resolve educational goals, and failure to become engaged. The document proposes identifying existing student success programs that meet five key conditions and combining them into a comprehensive first-year experience program to help more students persist through degree completion.

Personalised Learning Plans
PLPs are personalised learning plans that tailor education to meet each student's individual needs and strengths. PLPs differ from IEPs/ILPs which are for students with disabilities or learning difficulties. PLPs aim to close achievement gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students by actively involving learners, engaging students and parents, and responding to each student's uniqueness with high expectations. Teachers' role is to become co-learners, facilitate learning both in and out of school, and implement a rigorous but differentiated curriculum. Developing real partnerships through PLPs requires understanding students culturally, setting achievable goals, providing quality feedback, and building positive relationships through respect and commitment.

TAP Tip Sheet - Planning for Successful Transitions Across Grade Levels
Planning for a smooth transition across grade levels for students with autism spectrum disorders involves:
1) Beginning preparation early in the spring and involving both the current and receiving teachers to exchange information.
2) Providing information to the student about the new setting through visits, maps, and identifying supports and mentors.
3) Developing a transition plan that identifies the student's interests, goals, and experiences to assess their needs and desires for the new setting.
Discussion_Paper
The document discusses the need for a new approach to supporting students who are not achieving national standards and are disengaged in learning. It notes that around 20% of students fall into this category. The school wants to embrace findings from neuroscience research and provide personalized learning opportunities based on individual student profiles. This would include identifying cognitive strengths and weaknesses and using programs like Cogmed or Feuerstein to improve learning capacity. Training selected teachers in the Feuerstein method is proposed so it can become part of the school curriculum and benefit all students, not just a select few. The goal is to increase student achievement, engagement, and learning capacity through a greater emphasis on the cognitive and process of learning.

Transition to Middle school
“It is during the middle grades that students either launch toward achievement and attainment, or slide off track toward a direction of frustration, failure, and ultimately early exit from the only secure path to adult success.” (Balfanz, R. 2007)
Schools that pay attention to transition and have an intentional transition plan see more success in increasing achievement and reducing retentions. Having an effective transition program contributes to developing a positive learning environment. Both sending and receiving schools need to work collaboratively with each other, and with families to provide ongoing support for students as they experience the transition to the middle grades.

9th Grade Academy Informational Presentation
- 1. Wissahickon High School 9 th Grade Academy
Editor's Notes
- As an administrative team and through the conversations of the initiatives subcommittee we have identified and discussed a need to put in place supports to meet the developmental and transitional needs of incoming 9 th grade students. Research shows the best way to address these developmental/transitional needs are by developing smaller learning communities. We have decided to do that through the implementation of a 9 th grade academy.
- The needs of 14 and 15 year-old students differ from those of 17 and 18 year-old students in our building. A 9 th grade academy will allow us to, through a team approach, target the specific needs of our 14 and 15 year-old students while also focusing them on the importance of life after high school.
- Some benefits of a 9 th grade learning community are listed above.
- Listed above are reasons why a 9 th grade academy will be successful at WHS.
- The benefits of a 9 th grade academy at WHS can be realized without having to alter the student course selection process or teacher schedules. Students and parents will continue to select their own courses as they have previously done. Teachers will utilize common planning time to focus on individual student needs and best instructional practices.
- Collaboration has already taken place between the high school and middle school. WMS and their 8 th grade teams have expressed a desire to share their successful team practices with 9 th teachers.
- WHS and WMS PTC’s : What are the benefits my 9 th grade child will receive? How will the 9 th grade academy effect my child’s schedule? BCTC : Is the 9 th gr academy similar to the pod system at WMS? How are the students placed onto teams? How will the students transition from 9 th to 10 th gr? How will the concept be introduced to the 8 th gr parents? WHS Faculty : How will the elective courses be affected?
