9th Grade Counseling & Learning Community (9LC)
Mission
To promote a successful transition for incoming ninth grade students by providing a system that encourages responsive teaching and learning. Teachers collaborate in order to help students reach their potential, establish healthy relationships, and discover their strengths and passions in a safe and welcoming learning environment.
What does 9LC look like?
9LC is a purposeful, transition-based learning community consisting of 5 cohorts of teachers. Cohorts include 1 English teacher, 1 Earth System Science teacher, 1 Physical Education and Health teacher, and 1 World History I teacher. All incoming freshmen are assigned to a cohort. Cohorts provide academic and behavioral support built through teacher collaboration to create meaningful relationships with 9th-grade students. Collaborative time focuses on student achievement, student progress, and transition topics.
