Designing a Culturally Responsive Orientation Program for Alternative Ed. Students ~ Valley High School

Saturday April 26, 2025 9:15am - 11:30am PDT

An overview of Valley High's successful 6 week orientation program that introduces students and sets high expectations for high school in academics and behavior. Focus is on students' social emotional health and teaching the students how to be aware of external events that may be impeding on their education. Using circles and creating a purpose for building relationships with staff and their teachers is imperative for students to find success. After taking the course students feel ready to respond to past failures and have tools to be successful on campus and in the "Real World." Big emphasis is put on how to self-advocate, how to set goals, working on communication skills, and participating in team building exercises.
