This is the BEST way to follow along with the lesson. As I teach from the "whiteboard" aka my screen, I encourage students to watch my instruction on their second screen and complete the "worksheet" on their computer. I can view students work, give feedback, and monitor their understanding or if more review is needed.

Grading Breakdown Daily Lessons

This year we are excited to introduce a new Algebra Currcilum. Students will have 9 Units broken down into topics. The Syllabus below will review each Unit.

Course syllabus

Agenda colores

Participation Points for Guided Instruction (M-Th 9:45-10:30 AM)There are 2 ways to earn your daily participation points from Guided Instruction: Synchronous: Attend Guided Instruction at the time scheduled for your class, participate/be present, and click "submit" at the end of the class for credit. ***NOTE: it is not acceptable to enter the class (Zoom link) and walk away/stay in the Zoom room past class time signifying you are not truly present nor learning from the instruction. Asynchronous: If you do not attend the scheduled Guided Instruction, you will need to answer ALL questions in the Edio lesson's day bundles to the best of your ability to earn credit. ***NOTE: Skipping the question, typing idk, or entering ...., will result in a zero. Partial points will not be awarded *Note: If I am out of the office for the day (chaperoning a field trip, sick, tech issue, etc.), a recording will be posted, and ALL STUDENTS will need to complete the edio lesson for that day. When this occurs, you will get an email notification and the recording will guide you through the edio questions. Participation Points for Live Instruction (Most Fridays 9:45-10:30 AM): You must attend Live Classroom sessions at the time they are scheduled or watch the recording and complete the activity to receive participation credit.

Work-Based Learning Experiences

Career and Technical Education

Work-Based Learning Experiences

Career and Technical Education Pathway. (Caretakers may remember these as Vo-techs.) Engagement in the trades is something CCA can really get behind – that’s where the jobs are! But instead of a Career and Technical Center -where the road ends with Gr. 12 - CCA really leans into robust postsecondary partnerships in the trades via the Evidence-Based Graduation Pathway, where you’ll find two options:

  • ā€œSuccessful completion of any concurrent or postsecondary courseā€ allows students to begin their post-secondary studies while they’re still in high school! We call these CHS at CCA and the best part of these options are the stackable credentials students can earn. These credentials mean better jobs with higher pay!
  • ā€œAcceptance into an institution of higher educationā€ – this means admission to a trade or technical school, a community college, or any postsecondary school relative to the student’s interest.
