Flipped Classroom
We will be working on a flipped classroom model. In a flipped classroom model, you will watch the lecture portion of the unit at home. This will include watching a video or power point or both at home so that when we are in class we can reinforce what you watch through a lab, project , or quiz. It is a mastery style of learning, so you will work at a reasonable pace for your understanding. You still have a time limit, but it is more flexible and allows for differentiated learning. The videos will be posted on the class website and you can watch the videos as much as you need, for greater understanding. You should take notes on the videos, for better understanding on content or for questions that you may have and ask during class. The following is a video to better explain the Flipped Classroom Model.

Schoology
Schoology is a learning management system that allows class assignement uploads as well as digital exam uploads. All student will be uploading most of their assignments on Schoology. For this reason, it is important that students bring their computers and chargers at all times. There is no excuse for not bringing computers and chargers. Failure to bring them can result in drop of grade. This process will be reviewed in class, however, I have included a link for you to be able to access Schoology from the home page as well. You must access Schoology with www.episd.schoology.com or you will not be able to access the district Schoology. You should log in through your school log in and password. If you are having difficulties doing this, please let me know immediately.
Schoology Basics for Students
We will go over some of how to use Schoology, however, this is a good video to help you in the basics of how to use Schoology on things like the Calendar, Uploading files, etc..
College and Career Readiness Plan (CCRP)
The CCRP is a great place for students to see what pathway they are in, what courses they have gotten credit for and what STAAR exams they have passed. It is a great resource for students to better understand their high school career. I have included a link to access the CCRP as well as the Graduation Guide download so that students can track what they have taken, class wise and what they need to take for graduation.
My Graduation Plan
This is a guide template of the courses you should be taking, but the best information for your plan is on your CCRP

Irvin High School Library
The Irvin Library offers great information for students, staff, and parents. If you need access to the Library, the link below will take you to their website.
We are a PBIS School
PBIS-Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support is one of the foremost advances in schoolwide discipline is the emphasis on schoolwide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. Instead of using a piecemeal approach of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, buses, and restrooms). Positive behavior support is an application of a behaviorally-based systems approach to enhance the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design effective environments that improve the link between research-validated practices and the environments in which teaching and learning occurs. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining Tier 1 supports (universal), Tier 2 supports (targeted group), and Tier 3 supports (individual) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making targeted behaviors less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional.
Attached below are links to power points on some of the PBIS training for Irvin High School.
The PBIS Administrator for Irvin High School is Mr. Djebrane and the Coordinator is Ms. Ammon.
