Homework Offered
Part A: Organic Research Students' homework assignments will consist of continuing their classwork and researching more about their interests, strengths, and needs. Homework should be organic. This means that students should be encouraged to complete organic research to incentivize them with monitoring their personal goals. Part B: Home Conversations The parents/caregivers of students should spend about 5 minutes each day asking students about their personal goals and how they are monitoring their success. Talking with your students about their personal goals supports their development as young adults.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

Some of the careers, colleges/universities, and independent skills may be triggering for students. For example, students who are interested in the healthcare industry might be afraid at the sight of people injured on publications. Also, students who do not identify as a Black American might not feel comfortable learning about Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Lastly, students who are anxious about their living situation might be triggered by the costs of rents and/or mortgages in their communities. The teacher will align all lessons and materials to students' interests, strengths, and needs. We have over 12 years of experience addressing students' social-emotional learning needs to ensure we pivot away from triggering topics to maintain students' attention and to secure their safety. *Accounts are not required for interest and skills-based assessments.
