Academic Planning Timeline

2016 – 2017

Students are expected to assume responsibility for developing appropriate course selections for each school year. The academic planning time line provides a structured process, which is expected to be followed by students, parents/guardians, teachers, and counselors.

Counselors guide the students through a four-step process which also requires the support, assistance and input from teachers and parents. Students need to:

• Learn about all course offerings that are available. • Determine which courses are best for you. • Complete the online registration process (Room 208 will be available for students who need help during all lunch

periods) • Complete your registration card, which requires parent and student signature.

DUAL ENROLLMENT

About the Program Dual Enrollment Program (DE) allow high school students to simultaneously enroll in high school and an institution of higher education. High school students can take a college course at any of the local universities during the school year or take advantage of programs throughout the country during the summer. Any parent or student interested in either of these opportunities should speak with Wootton’s Dual Enrollment Coordinator, Mr. Oliver. Students in the DE program receive a Montgomery College transcript, do not earn HS credits for the courses, and the grades are not factored into the HS grade point average. The college courses appear only on the college transcript.

What is Dual Enrollment? Beginning in 2002, MCPS and Montgomery College (MC) collaborated to provide high achieving students with a unique opportunity to gain college skills and earn college credits during their senior year. The DE and EP programs allow students to take college courses as part of their 12th grade schedule at the nearby campus of the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) or with our partner school, Gaithersburg High School (GHS), or at an MC campus. Students apply to MC through Wootton’s Dual Enrollment Office and are registered in the courses as regular college students. The one-time application fee is waived for students during a certain time period and all materials are processed by our liaisons at MC’s Dual Enrollment Programs. As MC students, DE participants must pay the course expenses associated with taking college courses. As a result of the Maryland College and Career Readiness and College Completion Act, passed in July 2013, MCPS students enrolled at MC while in high school receive a discount in the cost associated with college courses. Additionally, MC offers grants to high school students with documented financial need. The DE and programs is intended to enrich the senior year by providing opportunities that allow students to develop both academically and socially, to demonstrate maturity and responsibility, and if needed, to receive support for success.

The Dual Enrollment (DE) Programs: Offer challenging courses beyond the AP level

Allow students to earn transferable college credits by taking college courses while still in high school

Demand maintenance of good academic habits & teaches new skills

Reinforce time management skills

Provide guidance & mentoring to ensure success for all.

How can I enroll in the program? Any junior interested in participating in the DE or EP program their senior year must speak with Mr. Sheldon Oliver. To apply juniors should pick up an application packet from Mr. Sheldon Oliver, fill out all necessary forms, gather all required documents, and return the completed packet to Mr. Sheldon Oliver by the deadline.

Who can participate in the Program? Students participate in the program during their senior year and must meet a set of requirements. Students may apply for the program if, by the end of their junior year, they have:

Completed primarily all of their high school graduation requirements (DE courses require 3 periods free in the WHS schedule)

Achieved minimum scores of 500 (math & critical reading) on the SAT and/or 21 (Math & English) on the ACT. Students who do not have SAT or ACT scores must take the Accuplacer assessment at MC, at no cost to the student.

Secured a minimum weighted grade point average of 3.2

DUAL ENROLLMENT (con’t)

Completed Honors and at least one AP course Wootton HS offers many AP courses that help prepare students for college. Freshman through junior students are all encouraged to expand academically and include Honors and AP courses in their schedules in preparation for college pursuits. Some MC courses have additional requirements before students are eligible to enroll. For example, students wishing to take chemistry class at MC must take the chemistry placement test. Other additional requirements might be met through the appropriate AP scores. (For example, students wishing to take either Abnormal or Social Psychology must achieve a 4 or 5 on their AP Psychology exam.)

When are the MC courses held? The MC courses run twice or three time a week for approximately 80 minutes or 60 minutes, respectively; MC courses held at USG typically meet Monday/Wednesday/Friday over periods 2 and 3 while courses at GHS require (periods 2-3 or 3-4). On days classes are not held, students may use this time as they like—working on college applications, finishing homework, etc. Students may also consider MC courses offered at the college campuses, provided that the course schedule does not interfere with students’ existing high school schedule or extracurricular activities. What courses are offered through the program? Students in the DE program can choose to take any MC college level course as long as they meet the requirements for that course. The courses offered through the DE program are typical courses of first year college students. They include courses which are first in a professional series, general education courses, and foundation courses. The examples offered below provide well-grounded experience, enhance a student’s college admissions profile, and complement other AP and Wootton elective classes. They may provide a foundation for eventual major fields of study or career exploration.

PLEASE NOTE: Course offerings at each location vary from year to year based on MC faculty availability and enrollment numbers for each class. A more accurate list of courses for the 2015-2016 each school year will be available in the counseling office.

Courses Offered in the Past:

Accounting I Intro to Social & Cultural Anthropology Human Evolution & Archaeology Introduction to Business Introduction to Flash Administration of Justice Unix/Linux Operating System Introduction to World Mythology Introduction to Engineering Design

Education Academy The Education Academy at Wootton is a comprehensive career program focused on encouraging high school students to consider careers in education, introduce them to the rewards and challenges of the profession, and to support them in pursuit of post-secondary education. The Maryland State Department of Education, in collaboration with representatives from all county secondary school systems and the Maryland university system, developed a sequence of courses for the Education Academy. Students who take four courses in the Education Academy will earn college credits that are designed to articulate to a Maryland post-secondary teacher education program. This instructional program is aligned with the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards and with the National Council for the Accreditation for Teacher Education standards (NCATE). Child and Adolescent Development is the foundation level course in the Education Academy. High school students enroll in this year-long course that is taught in the unique lab school environment. Learning and developmental theories are studied and applied in practical experiences with the pre-k children. Students can continue to the Advanced Level Courses in Child Development and Adolescent Development 2 and 3. Topics covered in the courses include creative and developmentally appropriate lessons and the skill of observing the growth and development of the children. Internships in Education are offered to students in the Education Academy Pathway. Students have the opportunity to intern in grades pre-k through grade 12 in Wootton cluster schools and private schools for 2 - 3 periods each day. This internship is an Advanced Level Course. Seminars are held on a regular schedule to supplement their learning and understanding of professionalism, curriculum and lesson planning, and classroom behavior and management techniques. Interns develop professional portfolios based on the INTASC standards used in college teacher education programs.

Humanities & Arts Signature Program “Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind.”

~Samuel Johnson What is the Humanities and Arts Signature Program? This is a four-year program of focused study for students who are passionate about humanities and/or arts. Students choose a humanities or arts focus during their sophomore year. What are the humanities? The humanities encompass the branches of learning that help us understand our culture and that of others. They encompass English, history and other social studies, foreign language and culture, philosophy and religion, law, film, morality. The humanities help us learn how to think, not what to think. What are the arts? The fine arts – dance, music, theatre, and visual arts – represent a form of thinking and a way of knowing that is based on human imagination and judgment. They actively involve learners as creators, organizers, observers, and evaluators. What are the major components of the H&A Program?

First, students take a set of required courses including enriched, cohorted sections of English and Social Studies.

Students choose their specific program focus through their selection of their electives.

Second, students must complete an off-campus experience, which include a study abroad, a university program, or an internship. Arts focus students may also use non-school affiliated art/performance program for this requirement.

Finally, all signature students must complete and pass the Senior Independent Project.

How can I become part of the signature program? Students generally enroll in the winter of grade 8 to participate in the program. On a space-available basis, students may enroll in grade 9 or 10. The major prerequisite of applying is that students must be able to enroll in 9th grade honors-level English and Social Studies courses. Application forms are available online on the H&A page of the Wootton website. You will be formally notified of acceptance in the program. What are the certificates granted for program completion? Certificate of Achievement in the Humanities and Arts Recipients complete their course of studies with a 2.5 unweighted average in humanities and arts courses, and at least 1 AP course in the humanities or arts. Scholar in the Humanities and Arts Recipients complete their course of studies with a 3.5 unweighted average in humanities and arts courses. They also complete at least 3 AP courses in the humanities and arts and 1 additional course in the humanities and arts that is either an AP course, a college course, or the highest level course in an arts sequence. Meritorious Scholar in the Humanities and Arts Same requirements as Scholar, with these additions: 3.7 unweighted GPA in all humanities and arts courses AND designation of Meritorious on the Senior Independent Project. More information about the program is available from the Program Coordinator.

The Science, Technology and Research Signature Program (STARS) provides a student with a course of study that emphasizes a strong background in science, mathematics, and computer technology, while encouraging the development of a well-rounded skill set. Students participate in a comprehensive, rigorous series of courses that prepares them for a career in the sciences. Students work with the program coordinator to shape their individual paths of study depending on interests, goals and future ambitions.

How do I become part of STARS? Students must apply to the program prior to their sophomore year. Students will not be admitted to the program after that time except by special circumstance (such as transferring into the school). Applications are available on the Wootton webpage under “Signature Programs.” Please click on the appropriate link, complete and submit. Admissions are rolling. All students will be notified prior to the beginning of the school year with program information and meeting times.

Core requirements

Students in the STARS program have made a commitment to studying science in greater depth. Therefore, they will choose additional courses in science and math that speak to that commitment. Below are the minimum additional courses and the corresponding certificate levels available. The actual certificate awarded during STARS graduation will reflect the subject area(s) in which the student concentrated (i.e. Molecular Biology, Engineering, etc.).

Below are the minimum course requirements for certificates of achievement or excellence. Additional courses may be required for particular areas of study (for example, Engineering certificate of excellence requires AP Physics and Applied Science).

The STARS Program (con’t) Additionally, all STARS students are required to:

Enter the program in Honors-level science and maintain honors and/or AP level in science

Maintain an overall, unweighted 3.0 GPA and minimum of 3.0 in all science courses

Participate in a minimum of five STARS activities yearly. These may be a combination of business, social, speaker, field studies or seminar meetings

Scheduling Students in the program represent a vast array of potential interests and career goals. There are many possible ways for students to define and achieve those goals. Below are two representative schedules of students who be working towards certificates of excellence. Please note that students are NOT required to take summer courses, but many in the program choose to do so. REMEMBER: Every student’s schedule is unique and reflective of the student’s future plans.

Project Lead the Way (PLTW) – Engineering Pathway

Project Lead the Way is open to incoming 9th grade students as well as rising 10th grade students. The program requires enrollment in Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) during the student’s freshman or sophomore year of high school. Upon successful completion of IED during 9th or 10th grade, students can apply to complete the remainder of the PLTW Engineering pathway which include Principles of Engineering and a specialty or capstone engineering course. Students participating in the PLTW Engineering pathway are eligible for specialized scholarships, admissions preference at some colleges and universities as well as college-level recognition (similar to AP or transfer credits) In PLTW Engineering, students engage in open-ended problem solving, learn and apply the engineering design process, and use the same industry-leading technology and software as are used in the world’s top companies. Students are immersed in design as they investigate topics such as sustainability, mechatronics, forces, structures, aerodynamics, digital electronics and circuit design, manufacturing, and the environment, which gives them an opportunity to learn about different engineering disciplines before beginning post-secondary education or careers. PLTW Engineering is more than just another high school engineering program. It is about applying engineering, science, math and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context. Students focus on the process of defining and solving a problem, not on getting the “right” answer. They learn how to apply STEM knowledge, skills and habits of mind to make the world a better place through innovation. PLTW students have said that PLTW Engineering influenced their post-secondary decisions and helped shape their future. Even for students who do not plan to pursue engineering after high school, the PLTW Engineering program provides opportunities to develop highly transferable skills in collaboration, communication and critical thinking, which are relevant for any coursework or career. Students participating in the PLTW Engineering Pathway are required to take Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) as a freshman or sophomore, followed by Principles of Engineering (POE) and one or more Specialty Engineering Courses or a Capstone Engineering Design and Development Course (EDD). Specialty courses may include: Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Computer Science and Software Engineering, Digital Electronics, or Environmental Sustainability. NOTE: All specialty courses in the PLTW curriculum may not be offered at Wootton High School.

Thomas Edison School of Technology

Experience Success through hands on learning for college future careers life.

Students attend Edison every day for three class periods (2 ½ hours), earn 1 ½ credits per semester, and transportation is provided. In addition to offering valuable professional certifications and licenses, many programs are articulated with colleges and universities for college credit.

Over seventy percent of Edison students plan to attend colleges, universities, and technical schools. Many Edison graduates continue on their same career pathways and/or use their skills to help pay for college expenses. Edison is the perfect choice: students receive all the benefits offered at their comprehensive high schools as well as a valuable Edison capstone experience.

Students must apply to TEHST in order to enroll next fall. The application deadline is 1/15/16. The application can be completed online which is sent directly to TESHT. For your convenience, we have hard copies of the application in the counseling office and you may bring them in and give to your counselor directly. Until a student is accepted into the TEHST program, Wootton High School will require students to sign up for seven (7) classes at Wootton.

For more information and online application, visit http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/edison/ .

Students may elect to take the first year of a two-year program if they are not using the course as a program completer. All TEHST programs offer 1.5 credits per semester. Some courses have prerequisites. Most courses are career development completer programs, but not all (i.e. our Interior Design course is currently an elective). As a general rule, we do not enroll Grade 9 students. Grade 11 and 12 students have program placement priority, except for Cosmetology. Students must begin the Cosmetology course as a 10th grader. In most other programs, Grade 10 students are typically considered if space is available in the course. Courses articulated with Montgomery College for college credit are in italic type. Advanced level courses marked with a “+.”

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

43

Internship Overview

What is an internship? "Internship" is a MCPS course designed as a career-focused program in research, business, education, law, government, technology, medicine, or social services. Students have opportunities to explore and clarify personal career interests and link school to work. Internships enable students to

recognize how personal skills and talents fit into a career environment

form accurate perspectives of what skills and education are needed to be successfully employed and get promoted

apply academic learning to practical situations and bring new perspectives back to the classroom

develop effective interpersonal skills for the workplace When can students take internships? Internships are available during both semesters and are usually taken during the student’s senior year. In special cases juniors may be allowed to take an internship. Internships can be scheduled for triple, double and single periods depending on the specific program. What should students consider when planning for an internship? Students and parents should consider the following questions.

How many periods can I devote to an internship?

What extracurricular activities might conflict with my internship schedule?

Can I maintain an excellent attendance record at school and the workplace?

Am I expecting to work hard and demonstrate a willingness to learn new skills?

Am I self-disciplined enough to meet project deadlines, complete paperwork, follow procedures, communicate with the intern coordinator, and attend scheduled meetings?

Can I provide my own transportation or use public transportation to commute to my internship site? Most internships are not paid; interns must assume the expense of commuting. Parking spaces are NOT guaranteed. The assignment of parking spaces will give preference to carpools and completed application.

What are the internship course requirements? Interns will be evaluated by the coordinator using a variety of instruments. The course grade is based on the following: coordinator site visit, completed intern assignments, the number of hours completed at the workplace, evaluation by mentor/site supervisor, intern produced reports, portfolios, and oral presentations. All interns must attend orientation seminars at the beginning of each semester and periodically throughout the semester. How many hours at the site are required (Out of Building Internships)? To satisfy MCPS requirements and receive course credit for an internship, the student must commit to scheduled weekly hours during the school day throughout the semester. For each period registered for internship, the student must complete a minimum of 75 hours per semester at the site. For a double period internship students need approximately 75 hours per quarter to meet the 150 semester hour requirement. Time spent commuting to and from the site is not included. Attendance is recorded at school and at the work site. Interns are also responsible for maintaining a weekly log signed by the site supervisor. Logs are to be submitted weekly to the coordinator.

44

Internship Overview

What is expected of an intern? Interns will be working in a professional setting and are expected to act professionally. The intern is expected to be punctual, to work hard, to act responsibly, to maintain confidentiality, and to dress appropriately throughout the internship experience. When determining an internship program, a prospective intern needs to evaluate his/her strengths and talents, interests and goals that can be offered to a prospective mentor through a professional resume. Placement procedures vary for each internship program. Students must clarify with the coordinator the established policies and procedures before any search begins. Final approval of the site rests with the intern coordinator. What must be considered about the site (Out of the Building Internships)? The following must be considered when searching for an appropriate internship site:

Work permits are required for interns under 18 years old.

Some sites require interns to be American citizens and/or over 16 years old

The intern must be supervised by an adult at all times.

The site must have at least two adult employees.

The site cannot be located in a private home and must be a safe work environment.

Interns may NOT routinely drive as part of the job, open or close the business without adult supervision, transport money, perform work that requires strenuous lifting, work in or around motor vehicles or with heavy equipment.

Internships may NOT be primarily clerical type duties.

How Can I Apply? Attend the Internship Information Session prior to registration. This will be held during all lunches on January 7, 2016 in the auditorium (during all lunch periods).

Select an Internship Program
