Proactive Intervention Plan
The Proactive Improvement Plan will be used to ensure that all students stay on track and excel throughout the course of the semester. This is meant to HELP students who may be having trouble with content or skills and should not be seen as a consequence.
Mastery
- Mastery is defined as 70% or higher on weekly quizzes and 70% of higher on unit exams.
- Homework should be 100% complete each night assigned
Red Flags
- Less than 70% on a quiz
- Less than 70% on a Unit Exam
- Several incomplete homework assignments
- Frequent absences
- Inconsistent submission of portfolios
- Low portfolio performance
Interventions
- Mandatory Office Hours for quiz or test analysis
- Personal Training
- Small group re-teaching or study team in office hours
- Individual Action Plan for study skills and/or organization
- Conference with student and advisor/parent
Students can avoid interventions by actively participating in class and preparing for exams and quizzes well in advance. Additionally, students should be sure to take all assignments seriously and approach each training session ready to work. Lastly, students can attend office hours for individual help on writing portfolios or homework.
IV. Student Expectations
Tardy Policy (not in seat when bell rings): Less than 1 minute = 1D, 1 – 3 minutes = 2D, More than 3 minutes = 4 D
Absences: Absence in class will reflect heavily on your grade and your preparedness for weekly fitness test and the final fitness test. Students must return absent work within the same number of days as they were absent. When absent, please do the following:
1. Check the class Wiki for missed handouts and / or homework: http://muchincollegeprep.wikispaces.com/
2. Talk to a classmate to get notes and missed assignments.
3. Email your teacher with questions during absence.
4. Speak with your teacher after class or school in a timely manner.
If a journal is due on the date of absence, the assignment must be given to the teacher, by you, no later than 8am upon your return or will be counted as late. Late journal assignments will receive a 50% deduction after the due date and may be turned in up to one week late for no more than 50%.
Homework: Students will receive some form of homework on a daily basis. The students will track fitness progress via daily journal entries, in addition to any other homework given. All late work must be handed in the next class day and will only receive half-credit. Late work will only be accepted at the beginning of the following class day, earning zero credit after that point.

V. Classroom Procedures
Start of Class: Entering the classroom all students are expected to be in their locker room BEFORE the bell rings. You have 3:30 minutes to put on your P.E. uniform and prepare yourselves for class. You are not to exceed this allotted time. If you take more than 3 minutes and 30 seconds, you will be given demerits based off of how late you are and according to the student handbook. Each class will begin with a pre-workout stretch. If homework is given, it is your responsibility to submit it upon exiting the locker room and before you enter the classroom. Upon entering class, you are expected to follow the student-lead and begin pre-workout then listen to instruction before any activity. If you have any infractions which warrant demerit, you will be given the demerits. No exceptions.
Hand Raising: In order to receive full participation points, students must raise their hand to be acknowledged by the teacher to speak.
Bathroom Policy: NO Bathroom Passes will be granted. Bathroom must be used during designated locker room times before and after class. No exceptions!!!
Dismissal: You will be released 5 minutes prior to the end of class. During this time, you are expected to enter the locker room and take care of whatever personal needs that you may have. Do not get ready to leave unless the teacher, not the bell, has signaled you to do so.
Integrity: Due to the physical nature of this class, students must display a high level of discipline and active listening skills, in which case classmates are expected to act with respect and integrity. If this is violated, students will be administered the necessary number of demerits and infractions. This includes talking when instructions are handed out, not tracking coaches, uniform infractions, lack of participation, laughing at another classmate’s mistake, etc. Offenses will be treated harshly to maintain a safe, fit and productive classroom environment.
Students are also expected to pass end of semester physical and health fitness exams. Student’s grades will automatically drop a letter grade after 5 uniform/participation infractions. Any form of plagiarism is a punishable offense that will affect your academic standing for the remainder of the course.
