An honors option may be available in some courses. Typically, honors work will be integrated into the standard classroom through differentiated instruction. Students who elect this option will be challenged through a deeper analysis of topics covered, allowing them to apply higher-level thinking skills. In addition, honors students may be covering advanced coursework and may have alternate writing expectations, and may complete different assignments/projects than the standard course. These may include but are not limited to tiered assignments, project menus, integration matrixes, and essay exams. 

To participate, a student must have earned a grade of "B" or higher in the previous course in the same discipline and/or have the recommendation and approval of the instructor. At the beginning of the semester, students will complete an honors application and sign a contract with their teacher outlining the requirements for the course.

The After School Assistance Program (ASAP) is for students who desire a supervised period after school. The room will run after school from 3:05-6 p.m. and will be staffed by a PACT educator. 

The Independent Study Choice (ISC) room serves the whole Secondary student body and is monitored throughout the entire school day by a room monitor. The room is used for a variety of reasons that include, but are not limited to:

• Students working on an approved online course while not currently scheduled in a seat-based course during the same time.
• Students making up tests or assignments due to absence.
• Students participating in the PSEO program waiting for their PACT campus class to begin.

Students that need additional support in language arts or math can receive this support during Panther Plus Time, which is offered Tuesday-Friday from 8-8:30 a.m. In addition, licensed language arts and math teachers meet with small groups of students to reteach and reinforce concepts. Panther Plus Time occurs during exploratory class, so students do not miss out on core instruction to receive assistance.

The Love and Logic approach is a behavior management program that has been very effective in dealing with issues in the classroom. It neutralizes arguing, offers delayed consequences, shows empathy, and develops a positive teacher-student relationship. It’s a way to set enforceable limits that prevents power struggles and guide students to own and solve their problems. It has been a valuable tool for PACT’s teachers that allows them to enjoy time with their students!

To support our Love and Logic discipline philosophy, our Secondary program utilizes a School Discipline Support Room. The room is used as a tool for teachers and students to work out behavior issues after school. This allows students to stay in the classroom during the day, so they do not miss out on instruction. The room is staffed by a teacher and runs after school from 3:15-4:15 p.m., as needed.

ENVoY is a nonverbal classroom management technique. It’s all about the tone of voice, position of the body, and the way to look at students that have the most significant impact on student behavior in the classroom. Teachers are trained to build awareness of these nonverbal patterns they use with students and, when possible, save their words for curriculum and building relationships—and the results have been excellent. In addition, we are seeing better relationships, productivity, and an increase in student independence. Finally, it makes for a healthy and respectful classroom environment.

The Independent Study Choice (ISC) room serves the whole Secondary student body and is monitored throughout the entire school day by a room monitor. 

Students who are unable to join the regular classroom for a variety of disciplinary reasons (for example, an in-school suspension) or behavior concerns as part of PACT’s discipline procedures. At the discretion of the ISC Room Monitor, the student is to report back to their class. The student may continue in the ISC Room for up to one additional class period the next day. If a student is in the ISC Room for longer than two hours, the parent will be notified as soon as possible. Students participating in extracurricular activities who are sent to ISC for disciplinary purposes may also receive consequences in their activity.

The After School Discipline Support Room fits into our Love and Logic discipline philosophy. We want to keep kids in class as much as possible. If there is a behavior concern that requires time to be made up, it is best done after school and not during a student’s class. The room is a tool for teachers and students to work out behavior issues. The room is managed after school by a PACT educator.
