9.A. New High School Courses
Description:
The HS administration is seeking to expand its course offerings in the area of social studies. We are in need of additional electives for students, and we have many students attracted to social studies that do not want to pursue one of our Advanced Placement Options.
Currently, the most common electives chosen are psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Psychology and Sociology are starting to decline in numbers, as many of our students have already taken these courses. More important, we are trying to anticipate future needs as members of our social studies department phase into retirement and the general certifications/endorsements to teach psychology, sociology, and anthropology (in particular) are no longer part of the group social studies endorsement. About a decade ago, the group SS endorsement changed and does not allow our more recently certified teachers are not endorsed to teach psychology and sociology. We are asking for consideration that the listed courses be approved and allowed to be added to our course offerings. They would then be options that our students could select. As always, the ability to add any of our courses to our final master schedule would still be driven by the number of student requests for the course. As such, there are always courses in our offerings that don't make it into our master schedule. Suggested motion: I move to approve the high school administration's recommendation of adding the social studies courses as presented (or corrected). Motion by and supported by to approve the high school administration's recommendation of adding the social studies courses as presented (or corrected). Roll call: Arugaslan Ford Magrath Miller Noffsinger Roethlisberger Sylvester Ayes: Nays: Absent: Motion carries (is defeated/invalid) |
