FOREWARD

The course descriptions contained in this booklet reflect a strong and rigorous curriculum. The student is expected to master specific skills as he/she proceeds through each course of study. As you review the courses, keep in mind that selections should be based upon (1) interest, (2) need, (3) appropriate level of instruction, and (4) future goals. Students generally perform better when class selections are made using these criteria. Appropriate scheduling is the basis for an effective school. Because a school schedule is built on student requests, it is important to choose wisely. Requests for schedule changes in the fall may not be granted. You must carefully make responsible choices. Remember, your education is an opportunity and a responsibility.

Curriculum Information

This curriculum guide is designed to help you plan your course of studies. Course descriptions acquaint you with both the required courses and the elective curriculum available to you. Because the curriculum includes such a variety of courses and because you will be able to take only a small number of these during your years in high school, it is essential that decisions be made carefully in the light of personal objectives and future goals. This book is designed to involve the student, teachers, counselors and parents and to facilitate your educational decisions. All policies in this handbook are effective as of the date of this handbook publication. Kanawha County Schools is not responsible for changes made to state policies after this publication date. Students and parents should check with school personnel to ensure all information is current. NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION Applicants for admission and employment, students, parents, employees, and sources of referral of applicants for admission and employment are hereby notified that the Kanawha County School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Any person having inquiries concerning the Kanawha County School District's compliance with the regulations implementing Title IX or Section 504 is directed to contact: Title IX: Jeane Ann Herscher, Title IX Coordinator, Kanawha County Board of Education, 200 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, WV 25311-2119, phone 348-1379; Section 504: Jim Mullins, Section 504 Coordinator, Kanawha County Board of Education, 200 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, WV 25311-2119, phone 348-7770 ext 347. These persons have been designated by the Kanawha County School District to coordinate the efforts to comply with the regulations implementing Title IX and Section 504. UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION STANDARDS AT WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES BASIC ADMISSIONS STANDARDS As a means of ensuring a reasonable chance of success in the educational programs for which students seek admission and of making the most productive use of federal, state and community resources, institutional admissions policies shall incorporate the following basic standards. This rule applies to undergraduate admissions at West Virginia public four-year colleges and universities. The standards in this rule also apply to students who enroll in baccalaureate-level programs at state higher education institutions where missions are primarily the offering of associate-level degrees. Standards for students enrolled in associate degree or one-year certificate programs, regardless of institutional classification, shall be at least as rigorous as those at the community and technical colleges. Degree Programs at Four-Year Colleges and Universities. Students may be admitted on a regular admission basis at colleges and universities which offer bachelor’s degrees if they have a) an approved high school diploma, a minimum 2.0 high school grade-point average (GPA), and an ACT composite score of at least 18; b) meet GED requirements and have an ACT composite of at least 18; or c) have a high school diploma and a minimum high school GPA of 3.0. For universities which grant doctoral degrees, the minimum high school GPA standardized test score requirement for regular admission is a) a 2.0 high school GPA and a 19 ACT composite score or b) a high school 3.0 GPA. Students will normally be expected to sit for the ACT. However, in instances where students have taken the SAT examination, these scores may be substituted for the ACT. SAT scores will be converted to ACT equivalents by using an appropriate conversion chart authorized by the Chancellor. These students will not be required to take the ACT at a later time.

1. Conditional admission may be granted in instances where GPA or ACT standards are not met and institutional officials have evidence that the student has the potential to successfully complete college-level work. Students who do not meet the GPA or ACT standards, but who demonstrate the potential to complete an undergraduate program may be admitted provisionally with the following stipulations:

(a) Conditionally-admitted students must maintain good academic standing as defined by the institution.

5

(b) Students must complete the provisions of their conditional admission within the first four semesters of enrollment. Unless the student is still enrolled in developmental education, students failing to meet the provisions of conditional admission shall be denied re-enrollment. Return to the institution is subject to institutional policy.

(c) The percentage of first-time, baccalaureate degree seeking students enrolled conditionally shall not

exceed ten (10) percent of the Commission census data enrollment. The percentage shall be based upon a three-year rolling average.

2. Effective March, 2013, students, in addition to GPA and ACT requirements, must successfully complete the

following minimum academic core unit requirements prior to admission: Required Units (Years) 2013 Standards 4 English (including English 12CR and courses in grammar, composition, and literature)

3 Social Studies (including U.S. History)

4 Mathematics (three units must be Algebra I and higher or Math 1 and higher; Transitional Math for Seniors will also be accepted) 3 Science (all courses to be college preparatory laboratory science, preferably including units from biology, chemistry, and physics) 1 Arts

2 Foreign Language (two units of the same foreign language; Sign Language is also acceptable)

IMPLEMENTATION DATE The high school GPA and ACT/SAT test score requirements listed above shall be effective no later than the fall of 2013. The effective date of all other provisions of this policy will be sixty (60) days after the date of filing with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office. For more information, visit the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission website at http://www.wvhepc.org. PROMISE SCHOLARSHIPS

What is PROMISE? The West Virginia PROMISE (Providing Real Opportunities for Maximizing In-state Student Excellence) Scholarship Program, approved by the Legislature in 1999, offers each West Virginia high school graduate who meets PROMISE standards and requirements a partial tuition scholarship to a state college or university or an equivalent dollar scholarship to an in-state private college. For eligibility requirements and other information on the PROMISE Scholarship, contact your school counselor or visit their website at www.promisescholarship.org. INTERPRETATION OF GRADES

Progress Reports Progress reports will be issued to students at the mid-point of each grading period. The report indicates who is not making satisfactory progress and/or is in danger of failing a course. Upon receiving this written notification, parents are encouraged to call teachers for a conference. TESTING

Smarter Balanced Assessments Students in grades 3-11 are required to take the Smarter Balanced assessments. Smarter Balanced is guided by the belief that a balanced, high-quality assessment system—including formative, interim, and summative components—can improve teaching and learning by providing information and tools for teachers and schools to help students succeed. Timely and meaningful assessment information can offer specific information about areas of performance so that teachers can follow up with targeted instruction, students can better target their own efforts, and administrators and policymakers can more fully understand what students know and can do, in order to guide curriculum and professional development decisions. Smarter Balanced assessments make use of computer adaptive technology, which is more precise and efficient than fixed-form testing. Teachers, principals, and parents can receive results from computerized assessments in weeks, not months. Faster results mean that teachers can use the information from optional interim assessments throughout the school year to differentiate instruction and better meet the unique needs of their students. Smarter Balanced assessments will go beyond multiple-choice questions and include short constructed response, extended constructed response, and performance tasks that allow students to complete an in-depth project that demonstrate analytical skills and real-world problem solving.

College Entrance Exams The college entrance tests are given by two testing agencies: The College Board which administers the PSAT/NMSWQT, SAT and Achievement Tests, and the American College Testing Program which administers the ACT and PLAN. For detailed information on the nature of these tests and the preferred testing dates, contact your school counselors. ATHLETICS -- PARTICIPATION IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Kanawha County Schools follows all rules, regulations, and policies set forth by the West Virginia State Board of Education and the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission. Kanawha County Schools also has policies affecting athletic participation. Any specific questions regarding participation, eligibility, transfers, etc., should be directed to the administrator of the school. NCAA COLLEGE FRESHMAN ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS If a student intends to participate in Division I or II athletics as a freshman, the student must register and be certified by the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse. The NCAA website may be accessed at http://eligibility.org to determine the initial eligibility standards. Students should check with their counselor for specific registration information and materials. The NCAA reviews Credit Recovery courses on an individual basis. For this reason, credit recovery is NOT recommended for any athlete with aspirations to play Division I sports. VIRTUAL LEARNING In order to provide a rich and varied curriculum, online classes are offered to Kanawha County students through the WV Virtual School. The WV Virtual School is designed to supplement the courses offered by local schools. Students are allowed to enroll in a class if it is not offered at the home school or if there is a scheduling conflict confirmed by the local school administration. Fees may be associated with virtual courses. BEN FRANKLIN AND CARVER CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CENTERS Ben Franklin Career and Technical Education Center and Carver Career and Technical Education Center are available to Kanawha County students. Students interested in attending either center should contact a counselor. Course

descriptions are included in this handbook. Students who complete a Career and Technical Education Concentration will be required to complete an on-line portfolio. HONORS AND ADVANCED EDUCATION

Honors/Advanced Education Experiences Honors/Advanced Education experiences are designed to meet the needs of students who have the potential to complete curriculum more demanding than that offered in the regular classroom and their current grade level. These classes are advanced in terms of content and performance expectations and provide credit toward graduation or possible college credit. Honors experiences may include, but shall not be limited to, specifically identified honors courses, research and in-depth studies, mentorships, content-focused seminars and extended learning outcomes instruction in the content areas. Advanced education includes classes recognized or offered by the college board, post secondary institutions and other recognized foundations, corporations or institutions, accelerated instructional courses offered via satellite and other courses and arrangements, approved by the local board of education and state board. Advanced Placement Courses (AP) must follow the course descriptions provided by The College Board and students are required to take the AP test. It is strongly recommended that the instructors of these courses receive the training provided by the West Virginia Advanced Placement Center. Those students who do not take the AP examination will not receive AP credit. Curriculum approved under this section shall be designed to advance the achievement of students in the subject area or areas in which the student has achieved at least two of the following criteria: (a) demonstrated exceptional ability and interest through past performance; (b) obtained the prerequisite knowledge and skills to perform honors or advanced work; and, (c) received recommendations from the student's former or present teachers. All courses designed as Honors and Advanced Education will receive a weighted grade. Those classes are indicated by an asterisk in this book. Honors course criteria and standards have been developed. For more information, contact your school counselor.

Procedure for Special Courses

Upon recommendation of the principal, individual schools may petition the Division of Curriculum and Instruction for approval of special courses taught at that school and post-secondary courses identified by that school. Such petitions must be reviewed by Division of Curriculum and Instruction staff and approved prior to inclusion. Each petition will be considered on an individual basis.

Class Ranking Computation for class ranking shall be made at the end of the first semester of the senior year. The following scale shall be used to determine class ranking:

Non-Weighted Courses Weighted Courses

A = 4 A = 5 B = 3 B = 4 C = 2 C = 3 D = 1 D = 2 F = 0 F = 0

Credit for Courses Below Grade 9

Students who take any high school courses before grade 9 (i.e., Foreign Language I or II, Math 1 or Algebra I or higher, and/or Physical Science Honors) will receive high school credit. These courses will be used in calculating the student’s GPA and will be used to determine class rank.

Transfer Students

Students transferring from one school to another within the county shall have their credits accepted at face value and shall be considered for honors.

8

Students transferring to Kanawha County Schools from a school outside the county must have spent the whole of their senior year in Kanawha County Schools before they can be considered honor graduates; however, they may be given recognition.

Commencement Recognition

Honor graduates may be given preference by leading the processional and in seating arrangements at commencement exercises. Students will be recognized with honors, high honors, and highest honors: x 3.8 GPA Honors x 4.0 GPA with a minimum of 14 weighted credits by the end of 7 semesters or 1st term of the senior year- High

Honors x 4.5 GPA with a minimum of 14 weighted credits by the end of 7 semesters or 1st term of the senior year-Highest

Honors

Dual Credit Options Students may take college level courses which carry credit toward high school graduation as well as credit toward a college transcript. At the present time, juniors and seniors who meet admissions and pre-requisite requirements from the participating college may be eligible to participate. Depending on specific course content, classes may replace required courses. A list of those classes is included in this booklet. Each high school will follow Kanawha County policy regarding curricular alignment and sequencing in regard to college level courses. Area colleges are part of the Dual Credit Consortium; all dual credit courses are college level classes and therefore carry a weighted grade on the high school transcript. Students expecting to attend other colleges should see their counselor and contact their prospective college prior to enrollment to ensure credit will be accepted. In some cases, credit may be granted for electives rather than replacement of specific course requirements. Classes are normally offered during the school day and generally follow the KCS calendar with minor adjustments. Teachers will be either public school instructor qualified as college adjunct staff or college professors. The fee for a 3-hour credit course is set by the West Virginia State College System (with additional hours being costed on a pro-rata basis). Deposits may be required to determine offerings; full payment is expected during the first week of class. There is no discount for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Students will purchase their own books which will be made available on the high school campus; price of textbooks varies according to the course. Students who plan to enroll in dual credit courses should take the ACT during the spring of their junior year and may be required to take a placement assessment before being allowed to enroll.

EDGE

EDGE stands for Earn a Degree—Graduate Early, and it allows students to take high school courses for community and technical college credit. Students can earn an Associate Degree with substantial savings. If a student takes the right courses in high school, they can save up to $3,000 in college tuition. Students who take the college credit courses available in high school could earn an Associate Degree within one year after high school or along with a high school diploma. For more information, contact your school counselor.

Promotion, Retention, and Classification

Promotion from grade 9 to 10 (sophomore) occurs when the student has earned five (5) credits and passed six (6) of eight (8) semesters in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Promotion from grade 10 (sophomore) to 11 (junior) occurs when the student has earned 11 credits. Promotion from grade 11 (junior) to 12 (senior) occurs when the student has earned 17 credits.

Career Academies/Magnet Schools

Kanawha County Schools has developed career academies in the high schools. Career academies are designed to develop peer support and improve achievement through highly focused small learning communities built around a broad-based career theme. The academies are organized to allow a small group of students to stay with a core group of teachers from grades 9-12. This personalized learning environment helps students build strong relationships with peers and teachers.

9

Academic courses are integrated with technical and applied courses around the career theme. Connections are also made with local businesses to provide students with a range of career and work based learning experiences. Along with the development of career academies, KCS will continue to offer magnet programs at Capital High (Performing Arts), Sissonville High (International Studies), George Washington High (Advanced Placement), and South Charleston High (International Baccalaureate). Currently, Herbert Hoover High has the Academy of Criminology, South Charleston High has a Pre-Engineering Academy, St. Albans High has a Hospitality and Tourism Academy, and George Washington High is a STEM Academy. For more information, please contact Mr. Mark Milam, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary and Career and Technical Education at 347-7483 or [email protected] . How to Apply In order to transfer into one of the Career Academies/Magnet Schools (High School Choice Program), you must go to the Kanawha County Schools web page and complete an on-line application. The web address is http://kcs.kana.k12.wv.us. Once you have access to the KCS web page, look to the left to the blue Navigation tab, click on Departments then scroll down the list until you find High School Choice. Click on High School Choice then on Application. Fill out the application and submit it. The deadline is July 2, 2016. All students must download the “Teacher Recommendation” form and submit three (3) by mail to Mark Milam, Kanawha County Schools, 200 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, WV 25311. In addition, those students wishing to apply for the “International Baccalaureate” must download additional forms and submit them to South Charleston High School. If you have any questions regarding the process or need more information, please contact Mark Milam at [email protected] or call 348-7770 ext. 200. Transportation

Transportation will be provided by KCS from designated hubs within an attendance area. Bus stops to the High

School Choice Program may be limited and located significantly further from the student’s home. In the past, KRT bus passes were issued to those students who were not able to leave from the designated hubs. Those students arrived at the Laidley Street Transit Mall and were then transported to the schools by Kanawha County school bus drivers. In the afternoon, KCS buses delivered students back to the Laidley Street Transit Mall where it will then be the responsibility of the students to ride a KRT bus back to their original attendance area or be picked up by a family member.

Credit Recovery

Kanawha County Schools now offers a different model for high school students who need to make up credits for courses failed. The program is called credit recovery.

Credit recovery allows students the opportunity to complete portions of courses that were not mastered

instead of repeating an entire course. This is done through the use of a web-based curriculum called OnTarget. Students will have the opportunity to complete the coursework outside of the traditional classroom setting.

Each summer, schools will be designated as credit recovery sites. Students from all high schools will be

eligible to participate. Each site will be staffed with two credit recovery facilitators who will work with the students enrolled to assist with the completion of coursework.

The credit recovery program will continue throughout the school year. Schools will have the ability to

schedule a variety of credit recovery options within the school year, including before, during, and after normal school hours. The flexibility of OnTarget and credit recovery will provide additional opportunities for students to make up credits and assist them with completing all graduation requirements.

For more information about credit recovery, please contact your child’s counselor.

Personalized Education Plan Career Clusters

Each high school shall provide challenging and rigorous courses in the programs of study in grades 9-12 that enable students to achieve high levels of competence for academic and career development. Each student’s coursework will be designed to lead directly to placement in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses, an industry-recognized certificate or license, or workforce training programs.

Career Clusters The curriculum is organized around sixteen (16) career clusters. Clusters are broad groups of related occupations representative of the type of occupations available in the world of work. The clusters are: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Architecture and Construction Arts, A/V Technology, and Communication Business Management and Administration Education and Training Finance Government and Public Administration Health Sciences Hospitality and Tourism Human Services Information Technology Law, Public Safety, Correction, and Security Manufacturing Marketing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics Within each cluster there are locally approved career concentrations. A concentration is a series of courses directly related to a student’s chosen career cluster and post-secondary goal. With the assistance of their parents and academic advisors, students in grade 8 will develop Phase 1 of their Personalized Education Plan — course selections for grades 9 and 10 based on their identified career aspirations. This includes selection of a cluster for future exploration. In grade 10, they will develop Phase 2—course selections for grades 11 and 12 and post-secondary plans for the first year after high school. Each year students will review their plans with their counselors, advisors and parent or guardian and adjust the plans to accommodate the student’s goals and needs. The school will provide ongoing opportunities during the school day for career exploration and self-discovery involving completing student needs assessments, career and interest inventories, learning style inventories, self-reflections, and multi-faceted opportunities for career inquiry. We recognize the importance of co-curricular activities in developing an all-around person. In addition to their academic clusters, all students are encouraged to participate in those classes such as band, choir, or yearbook which develop the students’ talents and interests. Students may take one of the following in place of a course as listed in the applicable high school program of study: (1) a higher level course, (2) a more rigorous course, (3) an AP or IB course, (4) a college course, (5) Advanced Career course, or (6) a dual credit course in accordance with local board policy. Parent and/or guardian approval must be evidenced by signature on the student’s PEP.

Mathematics

ALGEBRA I (CCRALG1) Course Number: 30610 Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation and/or meeting the KCS recommendation rubric; grade of B or higher in previous grade level Credit: 1.0 Course Description: The fundamental purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. Because it is built on the middle school grades standards, this is a more ambitious version of Algebra I than has generally been offered. The critical areas, called units, deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend, and students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The Mathematics Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe the students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. ______________________________________ ALGEBRA I WITH SUPPORT (CCR ALGSUP) Course Number: 30600 Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation and meeting the KCS recommendation rubric; grade of C or lower in previous grade level Credit: 1.0 Course Description: Algebra I Support Credit toward Graduation Mathematics taught in the ninth grade year is often referred to as “gatekeeper” content to higher level mathematics. Struggling ninth grade students may benefit from a Math I Lab or Algebra I Support experience that is responsive to their individual academic needs through a data driven decision making process. Because some of the highest priority content for college and career readiness comes from Grades 6-8, the Math I Lab/Algebra I Support experiences should address the CSOs for mathematical practice and connect to the Math I/Algebra I CSOs while including powerfully useful

proficiencies such as applying ratio reasoning in real-world and mathematical problems, computing fluently with positive and negative fractions and decimals, and solving real-world and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Upon successful completion, students enrolled in a Math I Lab or Algebra I Support course will receive one mathematics credit toward graduation. Students who have successfully completed the Math I Lab course prior to the 2014-15 school year should have their elective credit changed to a mathematics credit as one of the four required for graduation. It is also important to note that institutions or higher education will not recognize either Math I Lab or Algebra I Support class as a credit in mathematics. If a student is planning on attending college, it will be important to check with that institution to see if four mathematics credits are required for admission. If so, mathematics courses beyond the four required for graduation may be needed to meet the admission requirement. Undergraduate admission to WV four-year colleges and universities includes the completion of four distinct mathematics courses. Though two courses such as Math I and Math I Lab or Algebra I and Algebra I Support may be appropriately counted as two courses towards graduation, they do not cover Foundations for High-Quality Adolescent Level Programming 30 two distinctly different bodies of knowledge that would be the expectation of college and university admission requirements. ________________________________________ GEOMETRY (CCRGEOMETR) Course Number: 30620 Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra I Support and Algebra I Credit: 1.0 Course Description: The fundamental purpose of the course in Geometry is to formalize and extend students’ geometric experiences from the middle grades.

INFORMATION ON WEST VIRGINIA CTE ADVANCED CAREERS

x Advanced Career is an innovative initiative of the Southern Regional education Board (SREB) and a consortium of states to create career pathway programs of study that prepare high school students for careers and meaningful credentials or postsecondary certificates or degrees. The Advanced career initiative creates curricula for all students by blending learning experiences that advance students’ literacy, math, science and technical knowledge and skills, and that strengthen the habits of behavior and mind for success. Understanding students’ interests, abilities and potential career goals, and possible educational and training paths leads to students’ deeper understanding of postsecondary education and workplace opportunities.

x Advanced Career pathways for success will be implemented as a coherent, articulated sequence of four intellectually

demanding courses that can lead to a recognized industry certificate, a community/technical college certificate, or an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. Specifically, SREB and member states have agreed that the career pathway courses will be organized around authentic, hands-on projects requiring application of the mathematics, science and technical standards, and 21st century skills. Each career pathway will be joined with a college-ready academic core and designed to bridge high school and postsecondary studies. Project-based assignments are presently centered around a defined career focus in aerospace engineering, informatics, global logistics, science and technology, advanced manufacturing

81

and clean energy technology. Both formative and summative assessments are built into each project and each course to advance academic and technical achievement and success in entry-level positions and in postsecondary entry-level, credit-bearing courses.
