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 social and academic skills. Research shows 9th grade academies can lead to fewer disciplinary issues, better study habits, and higher GPAs. The proposed Wissahickon academy would utilize team-based teaching and include a culminating 10-year life planning project for students.

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.

Constructivism.eme2040
Constructivism is a learning theory where learners actively construct their own understanding and knowledge through experiences and reflecting on those experiences. Key theorists who contributed to constructivism include Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, and Dewey. According to constructivism, learners should be actively involved in problem solving, asking questions, and collaborating with others rather than just listening to lectures. Teachers have a facilitator role in guiding students to discover concepts themselves and create lessons that allow for discussion, inquiry, and knowledge construction.

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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

WHS 9th Grade Academy
- 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?
