        JOLT  Credit  Recovery

Periods 2-6 This course is designed to give students an opportunity to recover high school credits using an online format. Our goal is for students to demonstrate knowledge in the required course work at an accelerated pace, while still acquiring the necessary competency they will need for future academic success. Students use OdysseyWare to complete their coursework, tests, quizzes, and projects. Most instruction comes from OdysseyWare.

Core  Values   Students are expected to demonstrate the Patriot High School core values of Respect, Teamwork, Discovery, Responsibility, Commitment, Courage, Safety/Security, and Integrity. Please use these words at home when discussing your values and expectations of them.

Homework   Due to its accelerated pacing, it is normal that students be required to work both at home and at school. They will normally have 2-3 lessons of English and 2-3 lessons of Math every night as well as any course work they did not complete for the day. Learning goals are posted daily in class and a student planner with due dates is made available to them from their online OdysseyWare console. Students typically take 3 courses at a time.

Course  Materials   Internet computers will be provided for students. However, a few optional items might help their experience be more pleasant, which might improve learning (we tend to learn better when we are in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere). Remember, students will be sitting for long hours in front of a computer screen: spiral bound notebook, bottled water, headphones, seat cushion, Clorox wipes, a personal mouse, and an appropriate mouse pad with wrest support.

Breaks   Students will receive 7 minute breaks every 55 minutes, to align with the passing bell schedule. This is their opportunity to stretch, use the restroom, have a snack, and get some sunlight. They will also receive a 30 minute lunch as per the posted bell schedule for “T” buildings.

Grading   Grading is done primarily through OdysseyWare. The Instructor, however, will issue the final grade and submit credits and grade earned to the Registrar. To help ensure mastery and competency, students will have many attempts to retake quizzes, tests, and projects. They need to score 80% on lessons, 70% on Quizzes, and 70% on tests to progress through the unit. The final grade will rest on the standard grading scale: A=90-100%, B=80-90%, C=70-80%, D=60-70%. There is no extra credit in this course.

Late  Work   Since this course is designed to help students demonstrate competency, late work is generally accepted. Students have a particular pacing they must follow, but some students may need more time than others. Although students have an opportunity to turn in late work, be careful that they do not fall too far behind pacing, otherwise they may not complete their required units in the time given to them.

Absences   Since this class is highly accelerated and compacted, student attendance is essential for student success. Missing even ONE day can result in your student falling behind. The good news is that many students are still able to complete course work from their home and they will not miss any instruction, since everything is online. Just understand that every absence puts your student in debt in terms of time and workload they will need to make up to keep pace with the course.

Behavior   Students are expected to work quietly and productively at their work stations. Students are not to look at inappropriate content or indulge in digital distractions such as social networking sites and games. Disruptive and/or distracted students will be 1) warned 2) introduced to a consequence 3) receive that consequence 4) parent contact then 5) sent to the office on a referral. A referral may also be issued (immediate exit) for dangerous behavior and/or defiance. School policy will be adhered to. Cell phones are not to be used during class time. Dress Code will be enforced. Due to the independent nature of this course, I will allow students to listen to music as long as they are quiet and are being productive. They must realize, however, that it is a privilege and not a right.

Cheating   Since this is an online course, it can be tempting for students to cheat. Copying student work and searching the answers on the internet are examples of this. However, the biggest form of cheating is when students copy essays from the internet. As a teacher, it is quite easy to tell the difference between an emerging writer and the words of a college scholar. We also filter all essays through plagiarism software. Offenses will adhere to the adopted Academic Integrity Policy. Keep in mind that numerous offenses may have a damaging effect on the student’s permanent academic record.

Jurupa Online Learning Team Keys to Success in OdysseyWare Welcome to the world of on-line learning as a participant in the Jurupa Online Learning Team or JOLT. You have the opportunity to take courses at your own pace and at the times that are convenient for you. Don’t let this fool you. On-line classes are not easy and require significant motivation and effort to successfully complete a class. If students aren’t familiar with online learning, they may find it more difficult than it needs to be. This handout is designed to provide an overview of the OdysseyWare program as well as give tips on how to be successful in completing the courses. Here is how the OdysseyWare program works: Logging In and Getting Started • Go  to  jusdca.owschools.com  and  enter  your  log-­‐in  and  password  information.  You  can  also  access  it  by  going  to  the   patriothighschool.com  HOME  page.   • On  your  home  screen  you  will  find  your  assignments  due  and  any  messages  sent  from  your  teacher   • To  begin  a  lesson,  click  on  the  course  title  and  get  to  work!   • To  check  on  your  progress  and  navigate  to  other  courses  that  may  be  assigned  to  you,  go  to  the  My  Courses  tab  and  check  out  your   Planner  or  Courses.   • To  check  old  messages  or  send  new  ones,  go  to  the  Messages  tab  and  write  a  note  to  your  teacher  if  you  need  assistance  or  just  to  say  hi!   Components of the Course • Courses  –  Each  course  in  OdysseyWare  is  typically  broken  down  into  five  main  units  and  a  comprehensive  final  exam.    Some  courses  vary   from  this  outline  but  there  aren’t  many.    Each  course  is  also  broken  down  into  Lessons,  Quizzes,  Tests,  and  Projects.   • Lessons  –  Students  must  complete  the  assigned  lessons  at  80%  or  better  in  order  to  go  to  the  next  lesson.    You  will  only  get  three   attempts  to  pass  the  lesson  before  you  are  blocked  from  continuing  any  further.    At  this  point,  you  will  need  to  speak  with  your  teacher   to  unblock  your  progress  and  discuss  why  you  are  having  trouble  progressing.    It  is  important  to  focus  while  doing  the  lesson  so  that  you   can  pass  the  first  time.       • Quizzes  –  After  every  few  lessons,  you  will  be  required  to  pass  a  quiz.    These  quizzes  must  be  passed  at  a  60%  or  better  in  order  to   progress  further.    These  quizzes  may  be  taken  outside  the  classroom  but  there  are  a  limited  number  of  attempts  before  your  progress  is   blocked  and  you  will  need  to  speak  with  your  teacher.   • Tests  –  Tests  are  given  at  the  end  of  each  unit  that  covers  all  the  material  in  that  unit.    These  tests  must  be  taken  in  the  presence  of  your   teacher  to  validate  the  work  done  throughout  the  unit.   • Projects  –  Depending  on  the  course  and  unit  of  study,  projects  will  be  assigned  periodically.  These  projects  can  be  research  papers,  essays   or  even  dioramas.    They  can  be  submitted  electronically  by  attaching  a  document  and  sending  it  to  the  teacher  or  you  can  hand  it  in   directly.  

Secrets to Success Some students have tried to get through the material by not reading very closely and hoping they can guess right on the tests. Most do not find themselves to be successful when doing this. A better way to go through a course is by following these key strategies: • Read  –  You  won’t  get  anything  out  of  any  lesson  unless  you  read  and  understand  the  material.   • Take  Notes  –  Notes  are  allowed  to  be  used  on  lessons,  quizzes  and  tests.    If  you  take  good  notes,  most  questions  should  be  pretty  easy.   • Vocabulary  –  The  vocabulary  terms  are  at  the  top  for  a  reason.    You  can  expect  to  see  them  again.    Write  them  down  and  understand   their  meaning  before  going  through  the  lesson.   • Prepare  for  the  Lesson  –  Go  to  the  bottom  of  the  lesson  and  see  what  questions  are  being  asked.    Write  them  down  if  you  need  to.    Then   as  you  go  through  the  lesson,  you  can  pick  up  the  key  points  necessary  to  be  successful  on  the  questions  on  not  only  the  lessons,  but  the   quizzes  and  tests  as  well.   • Push  the  Right  Buttons  –  Be  careful  about  what  keys  you  use  in  the  lessons.    You  can  exit  out  of  a  lesson  before  you  are  ready.   Final Expectations Students are expected to progress through their courses at an accelerated pace. Earlier it was stated that students can “work at their own pace”. What that really means is that you have the opportunity to work faster, not slower. You will be expected to complete a predetermined amount of work each week. Failure to do so may result in your being dropped from the JOLT program. Stay motivated, stay focused, and make progress on our classes at every opportunity.
