VisionJohn P. Freeman is a motivational learning center that continues to inspire all students to lead the quest for excellence. We have a safe and nurturing environment where students develop their unique abilities as they work to become productive, educated citizens who are able to compete globally. Our students are confident, self-directed, life-lone learners who make valuable contributions to their communities. Teachers rely on the important components of our curriculum and instruction design and research based strategies, which include but are not limited to: hands-on learning, the demonstration of achievement, collaborative learning, nonlinguistic representations, and technology integration. Teachers use a variety of instructional approaches to assess and support their students’ learning needs. Students’ learning is enhanced by providing opportunities to excel in and out of the classroom such after school tutorials, community service and extracurricular and enrichment activities. Additionally, teachers use date to implement best practices to develop the whole child. Our students demonstrate an understanding of school and district policies. All stakeholders are an integral part of our decision-making process.

Philosophy StatementOur school philosophy has a three-fold purpose. First, we wish to create a safe school environment where orderly instruction can take place. Next, by making clear what is desired behavior, we hope to encourage self- discipline among our students. Finally, through the application of certain rules, we hope to maintain a climate for developing good citizenship. Our intention is not to create punitive measures but to provide positive guidelines for desired behavior.

In-School Suspension Plan• Goal: To create an educational environment where students are held accountable for their actions, learn

the skills and attitudes necessary to prevent misbehavior and act appropriately when they return to the regular classroom.

• Objectives • 10% reduction in the amount of suspensions as compared to the previous school year.

• Each nine weeks there will be a 2% decrease in the number of repeat offenders, resulting in a 10% decrease by the final nine weeks period.

• Components• Academics – Students will complete academic assignments while assigned to ISS to ensure continued academic

progress.• Social Skills – Students will receive social skills/character education training by ISS teacher, educators,

professional counselor and/or other mental health professionals. All ISS teachers will receive training in the SCS Character Education Model.

• Service Learning – Students will participate as resources are available in their school community.• Alternative Student Transition – Student will spend a specified period in the ISS program upon their return from

the Alternative Program. This period will allow students to receive orientation regarding policies/procedures, strengthen pro-social skills, and form a positive relationship with school staff. This will afford administrators, teachers and counselors the opportunity to plan appropriate interventions for students and integrate them back into the school community.

• Reconnection – Students will have an opportunity to reconcile with the adult and/or student with whom they had conflict. This can be facilitated through written communication and/or a mediation session.

• Evaluation – The following areas will be formally evaluated: recidivism rate, ISS teacher/administration satisfaction, individual teacher referral rate, and suspension rate. SCS Research and Evaluation will assist with the design of this component.

In-School Suspension Plan• Conclusions• The Shelby County Schools ISS Program is an

extension of the classroom/school discipline plan which seeks to help students improve behavior while remaining in an educational setting. This strategy provides a specific disciplinary action a school can utilize to assist with students displaying inappropriate behavior. ISS is a positive approach that prioritizes the needs and long-term goals of students.
