Teachers:
I was out searching the web, and saw this wonderful resource. It is called Intervention Central. It gives you some accommodations and modifications that can be used for special education students and regular students. It also has some great study skills for these students.
Co-Teachers, this is an excellent resource for you.
Here is the link: Intervention Central
As I have visited many of your classes, I have seen that some students have a hard time dealing with note taking. On this website, there are resources on this site that will allow you to use graphic organizers for note taking. It is a very good site, and can probably assist you greatly in the classroom. Please click on the link below.
In a few weeks, many of you will begin hearing the term: vertical alignment. At this point, I have already started conversing with many of you about this process. Here is a good article explaining the process. Stay tuned to a process that will benefit the students of SHS.

Teachers,
As you know, we need to learn information as much information as we possibly can on our students. This document is a great first day of school activity so that you can have information on your students. This is a required document that all teachers must utilize for their classrooms.
Teachers:
Here is a template for the discipline policy. During this school year, it will only go out once; however, you must have a discipline policy for each course that you teach during the school year. If you have any questions or concerns about this document, please email me as soon as possible.
Teachers,
For the 2008-2009 school year, everyone will need a course syllabus for every course that you teach. However, we will not begin the planning of the actual syllabus until faculty orientation. You can begin the imput of some information listed on the syllabus without creating the schedule for which you will present lessons.
Some departments do not have to create a total syllabus from scratch because the district has already created one for you. The following address can be used to find the district curriculum guides for all discipline. Warning: not all subject areas have syllabi, but they have curriculum guides. Some of these curriculum guides are hard copies, and we will not be able to give them to you until the faculty orientation. The address is the following:Curriculum guides. As a matter of fact, the only departments that have curriculum guides online are language arts, mathematics, and world languages.
Here is a copy of the new syllabus template and the department grade distribution sheet. You must utilize the grade distributions with no changes: No Exceptions. If you need any assistance, please email me as soon as possible. DO NOT CHANGE THE SOUTHWIND HIGH SCHOOL LOGO; DO NOT CHANGE THE ORDER OF ANY SECTIONS OF THE DOCUMENT! Please enter the necessary wording for your classes.
