Majority of my students are credit deficient Juniors, Seniors and Super Seniors who have fallen through the cracks of the system. They want to graduate high school but aren't sure how, or have been given the support they need in order to do so. I, as their teacher, try to take a more hands-on and applicable approach to learning in order to keep them engaged and growing. We have small classes, no more than 15 students in order to increase the likeliness of their success. Due to the smaller classes I am able to do things other more traditional schools are not. We have more flexibility on doing outings and plan to travel to our stream location multiple times to perform the testings and monitor the stream through out the year.
