SLC Scheduling Issues
Multiple levels of core courses
Lack of vertical course sequences
Assigning teachers by department and
choice first
“Sacred cow” courses maintained for
tradition, not as part of vertical sequence
Lack of curriculum analysis
Inability to use SIS for cohort scheduling and a process to maintain
purity

PHILOSOPHYA school must first address the philosophy and culture within the school in order to: create a belief system that ALL students can learn and ALL teachers should be expected to teach high level curriculum.
There is EXTREME power in common teachers sharing common students and meeting regularly
regarding their needs.
![Page 8: The Complete Guide to Scheduling SLC's and Career Academies](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55d51e7cbb61eb9e578b45be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
De-Tracking
SLC’s are designed to provide equal opportunity within each community by providing less segmentation and more flexibility to move between course levels.
![Page 9: The Complete Guide to Scheduling SLC's and Career Academies](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55d51e7cbb61eb9e578b45be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Segmentation by Expectation
Students are placed into a tracking sequence by providing multiple labels to students based upon past performance and other data:
Teacher recommendations Grades Attendance/discipline Test scores
To be successful, this system must be changed to one for heterogeneous grouping. (Equity)
![Page 10: The Complete Guide to Scheduling SLC's and Career Academies](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55d51e7cbb61eb9e578b45be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Curriculum Analysis
The size of the “SLC Box” (student time spent in each SLC) depends upon how much a school is able to:
prescribe vertical course sequences reduce core course levels and assign teachers by SLC - not by department. (Process)

Purity
Student PurityThe percentage of students in each SLC specific
class who are actually in that community:
should be above 90% in grade 9 should be above 80% in grades 10-12
Teacher Purity Teachers in each SLC should teach the majority of their courses within the SLC and have 3 hours per
week of common planning time.

PLANNING
Curriculum Analysis (rules for including courses in SLCs)
Vertical Course Sequencing (Pathways) reflecting the ADDITION of core courses working with CTE, with common planning time
Deciding upon the minimum half day focus for purity, at each grade level, per SLC
Adjusting the registration sheets to reflect the SLCs
Gathering course requests by SLC, not in a conglomerate number
Dividing courses as SLC specific, suggested electives, and global classes
![Page 22: The Complete Guide to Scheduling SLC's and Career Academies](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55d51e7cbb61eb9e578b45be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Rules for courses in personalized learning programs
1. Have no more than three levels (or options)2. Ability to be taught by one teacher3. Occur in similar time periods as other SLC
classes4. Are common to almost all students5. Have similar enrollment numbers to other
teamed courses6. Integrate well with other courses

Result of Smaller Learning Environment
Better safety nets for students / adult
connections
Equal opportunity for advance course work
Teachers working together around student needs
Relevance to curriculum by addition
of interest courses
Streamlined communication
between teachers, parents, and
administration
Access to change instruction within each
community
