JOLIET TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOLS
JOLIET, ILLINOIS

The campuses have developed a School Improvement Plan to meet the standards of the Illinois State Board of Education and North Central Association. They are as follows:

Alternate School Improvement Plan

Faculty members at the Alternate High School are involved with the Curriculum Coordinating Council, Subject Area Committees, Staff Development, and Mentoring. With this representation, pursuit of the School Improvement Plan goals is enriched and strengthened. District curriculum is being implemented in all content areas and student progress is being assessed with district instruments for freshmen and sophomores, while juniors take a state mandated test. As longitudinal data is accumulated, its value to the Alternate staff for helping students acquire skills needed to become healthy and productive members of the society will be employed.

Teachers will receive individual training for implementation of curriculum to assist all students in meeting or exceeding the Illinois State Standards. Vocational training opportunities have been expanded but the need for more has been identified. A second technology lab has been equipped and all classrooms have technology. Optimal use of this instructional aid is an identified goal as is engaged learning. Attendance issues and behavior management demand continual and creative effort.
