Reinventing 9th Grade – Academics Through Personalization

Reinventing 9th Grade – Academics Through Personalization is a guidebook for high school leaders who are ready to make a significant commitment of resources to the academic success of all 9th graders.

As a comprehensive resource for planning a 9th grade initiative, the chapters are designed for a "flow" in the decision-making process, beginning with the rationale for why high schools must change and why 9th graders' success is the foundation for the greatness of any high school.

Next, the focus turns to what needs to be considered as a school progresses through the planning process. Among topics covered are:

planning and goal setting

personalization

overview of small learning communities

role of parents

program structure decisions

curriculum decisions

rigor and relevance

school civility and character development

staff assignments

pyramid of academic interventions

critical relationship to grades 10 through 12

Finally, the resource kit concludes with the how to make it happen, by providing:

professional development strategies

program marketing suggestions

case studies of five 9th grade success initiatives

At the end of each chapter is a list of questions to consider in the planning process.

Includes a CD-ROM with forms and awareness handouts and a DVD presentation, "The 9th Grade Year – Foundation for High School Success."
