The alternative program at Almond Bancroft recognizes that some students learn more effectively in a non-traditional school setting. As an alternative educator, I will strive to provide students with a safe and accepting learning environment that will challenge and guide each student toward his/her potential.
Alternative Education offers the following:
Credit Recovery Students who have fallen behind in credits may complete their courses in a variety of ways. We offer coursework through a computer-based program called Odysseyware and curriculum designed by the alternative program staff. Curriculum will be structured to meet the individual needs of each student. As our program evolves, I will add more learning opportunities through video, webquests, and portfolios.
Guided Learning Study Hall Students placed in this study hall will be closely monitored for success. I will pay careful attention to their progress in each of their courses and help students organize and prioritize their work. I am available to answer questions about homework and will communicate with their teachers on a regular basis.
GED Option #2 Students will be required to pass these five tests, but to graduate, they must also have a passing grade in health, civics, and an employability/careers program. Students earn a regular Almond-Bancroft Diploma.
