1 Creating ACT Improvement By Developing The Culture Mark Westerburg 415 East Clay Street New Buffalo, MI Work Phone: Cell Phone:
2 50% Free and Reduced 30% College Bound in 2009 now 87% No AP limited capstone course Student computer use was average. Teachers eager to take the challenge MMC focused instead of ACT 9 of 120 with a 30+ ACT Senior ACT Prep Class 2
3 3
4 Content Areas Basics All curricular areas should have a natural rotation of class offerings established. Not every class should be offered each year. A staff member should own every term of every course. It is their professional obligation to be totally responsible for the setup and updating of it. The goal of all instruction should be teaching for retention. It doesn't matter how far you get, it matters what students remember. Book series are not curriculum. They are reference sources. Technology and videos should be used for efficiency in small time frames for remediation, not as filler. All videos should have an assessment piece with them. All courses for each term have a syllabus and final exam developed prior to teaching them. All elective classes should state in the syllabus how they enhance the core curriculum. Each department should have a well-designed scope and sequence of classes that will ensure proficiency when students pass the designed courses. Required classes should be the same for all students - no remedial or honors classes. Junior and senior classes should have developed in a proficiency and non-proficient tracking system. Gifted students are moved up to the next level, not stagnated or off on a different track. Classes should be determined to be state testing preparation level or ACT preparation level. Teachers should know if their warm-up board work should be sample ACT or sample MEAP questions. Departmental meetings should be encouraged to work on variety of instruction and retention strategies being shared. All reading assignments have an assessment piece with them to work on reading comprehension in all classes. No writing assignments will be accepted by the teacher if the penmanship is poor and or has numerous grammatical errors.

Teachers teach 4 out of 5 classes and 12 blocks a year. For teachers fewer performances, preps, and less students to be responsible for. This will reduce paperwork, performances, conferences and material cost. The schedule is easier on students less classes, homework, and teachers to interact with. This is a college quarter system without the summer term.
