Curriculum
Academic Integrity
- Having Academic Integrity means that others can trust you.
- MY Academy prepares students for college, career, and beyond. We want students to learn how to think for themselves and give credit where credit is due.
- We expect students to maintain academic integrity, submitting work that is solely theirs, and citing their sources, when necessary.
- Talk to your teacher about ways to ensure you have academic integrity.
INSTRUCTION
Taking Good Notes
- Being an independent learner, taking effective notes is essential to your success.
- There are many different ways to take effective notes and finding the method that works for you takes some time.
- Here are a few different ways to take notes from Oxford Learning.
- Talk to your Teacher of Record to find a way to take notes that works for you.
ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
SBAC Testing
- Over the next few months, you will be hearing about SBAC state testing.
- Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessment is administered as part of California’s state testing program.
- SBAC tests provide one measure of student's knowledge.
- SBAC performance data provides important information to determine whether a student is on track to pursue college or career training by the time they graduate from high school.
- SBAC results are used by the School Counselor and Teacher of Record to customize each student's personalized learning plan.
School Culture and Support
MY Academy Gives Back!
- Highlighting our core value of service, during the month of December, MY Academy teachers and students will participate in a service project of their choosing.
- Talk to your teacher and brainstorm some ideas you have for ways you can give back to your community during this time.
- Take photos of you completing your service project and share it with your teacher.
