  1. Student Behavior and Academic Performance Eaton Rapids Public Schools (ERPS) Eaton Rapids High School and Greyhound Central High School

  2. Background • ERPS has consistently delivered average performance from students at the high schools. • There had been an intentional movement to increasing high school core graduation requirements prior to the MME and the setting of state requirements. • Parents, students, and staff endorse a well rounded education with core classes, fine arts, and vocational/technical classes. • We could see higher graduation standards coming.

  3. Description of Work • Teachers and principals studied and moved to a three term model (trimester) at both high schools within a year, starting in 2006-2007. • This was an opportunity for us to rethink our practices. • We wanted to track behavior, academics, staff focus, and freshmen success in both the semester and trimester environment.

  4. Major Findings • Online classes • Reorganized instruction • Academic data • Student behavior

  5. Online at Greyhound Central

  6. Curriculum • Added additional staff. • Intentionally made Key Train modules part of class offerings. • Increased staffing in computer lab. • Partnered with traditional high school teachers to offer math tutoring. • Used Macomb ISD curriculum for English 9-12.
