The What - ALC Expectations
ALC is a chance for me to catch up on my work. It's a peaceful environment , if all teachers would give me my work Ms. Montague can help me with all my work. I would rather be in class, but at least I know somebody cares.
ALC helped me to improve grades
Coach Myers made me believe that I can do good. Not many teachers make me feel this way. Even when I do dumb things, he shows me how I can be better without getting mad at me. He pushes me and makes me think.
This is a good place because if other people try to get you in trouble you safe in ALC because in ALC you stay out of trouble and out of any danger
Student Perspective
The best part of working in ALC is helping students when they are unsuccessful in a regular classroom, understand and complete work with effort and quality. To discover that they do care about their success and find working in my room with me reassuring, comfortable and respectful.
The chance to see a student let down his/her guard as personalities are different from those in a whole class environment.
The best part about working in ALC is helping the child who has been "left behind.
I enjoy helping kids work through the issue that brought them to ALC. I like seeing the positive change in their grades as they exit ALC. They know that I'll listen and try to help them see other people's perspectives on situations even if I don't always agree with their point of view.
In the regular classroom setting, many of the ALC students get lost in the crowd (for various reasons). When the students realize that I care about more than just them completing a linear equation worksheet, they begin to trust me. It is all about building relationships and showing that you care!
Teacher Perspective
Behavior is a curriculum, just as English, Math, History, Science, etc., are curricula. We learn behaviors that support learning...or we don't. Students who haven't learned how to "do school" need time and re-teaching, just as students who are struggling readers, or who struggle in math, need time for re-teaching in those subjects. ALC provides time for intervention in behavior. ~Dr. Camille Hedrick, Panther Creek HS/Apex MS
We have a dynamic ALC program because of the collaboration between our ALC teacher, Ms. Vincent, and the administrative team. Ms. Vincent works with students who receive consequences for violating various Board Policies in the ALC setting, after consulting with administrators, to determine the best way to work with students who got into trouble. With Ms. Vincent working with our students in the ALC setting, she can not only work with them on their school work but also work with them on social skills, behavior issues, etc. to hopefully keep them in school without further consequences. We also work with Ms. Vincent in pulling some of our at-risk students with severe attendance and grade concerns, giving her the opportunity to work one-on-one with those students in a caring, respectful environment. This gives students someone to connect with which ultimately minimizes behavioral issues and hopefully encourages our students to want to stay in school with some positive encouragement while making up missed work~ Tripp Crayton, Wakefield HS
