Informed Choice Registration

High schools operate under a parentstudent informed choice open registration The decision to enroll in any course offered is the choice and

responsibility of the student and hisher parents Parameters of course exist such as proper course sequence and those courses required for

graduation Although school personnel may make recommendations concerning level of difficulty (for example academic honors and so

forth) the parent and student should weigh all options and be part of the final decision Every effort is made to place a student in the desired

classes but there are times when some changes must be made Class schedules are generally received by the student several weeks prior to the

beginning of the school year Please note the designated dropadd dates and times It is most important that any schedule changes take place

during those times to ensure desired classes are obtained and no class time is missed

Weighted Courses

Standard courses ndash Course content pace and academic rigor follow standards specified by the North Carolina Standard Course of

Study (NCSCoS) Standard courses provide credit toward a high school diploma and require the end-of-course test for those courses

identified as such in the NC accountability program Quality points for the GPA calculation are assigned according to the standard 40

scale and receive no additional quality points

Honors courses - Course content pace and academic rigor place high expectations on the student demanding greater independence and

responsibility Such courses are more challenging than standard level courses and are distinguished by a difference in the depth and

scope of work required to address the NCSCoS These courses provide credit toward a high school diploma and require the end-of-

course test for those courses identified as such in the NC accountability program An honors review process shall be followed as

outlined in the latest edition of the North Carolina Honors Course Implementation Guide The state course weighting system awards the

equivalent of one (1) quality point to the grade earned in Honors courses Effective with the freshman class of 2015-16 the weighting for

Honors courses shall be one-half (5) of a quality point

Advanced PlacementInternational Baccalaureate (APIB) courses - Course content pace and academic rigor are considered college-level

as determined by the College Board or the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and are designed to enable students to earn high

scores on the AP or IB test potentially leading to college credit These courses provide credit toward a high school diploma and require

an EOC in cases where the APIB course is the first course taken by a student in a subject where an EOC is required by the NC

accountability program The state weighting system awards the equivalent of two (2) quality points to the grade earned in an APIB

course Effective with the freshman class of 2015-16 the weight for APIB courses shall be one (1) quality point

College courses (ldquodual enrollmentrdquo) - Course content pace and academic rigor are by definition college-level for these courses College

courses which may be delivered by a community college public university or private college or university provide credit toward a high

school diploma and may satisfy a graduation requirement or provide an elective course credit The state weighting system adds the

equivalent of one (1) quality point to the grade earned in community college courses included on the most recent Comprehensive

Articulation Agreement Transfer List and for courses taught at four-year universities and colleges

Courses eligible for weights include higher-level high school courses that fall into one of the following categories

Honors sections of standard-level academic courses including NC Virtual Public School courses and other on-line courses that are in

accordance with the philosophy rubric procedures guidelines and standards for curriculum instruction and assessment as described in

the North Carolina Honors Course Implementation Guide Such courses are assigned additional quality points in accordance with the

Honors section above it is not necessary to offer a standard level of a course to offer an honors level

Pre-calculus non-APIB calculus mathematics courses beyond the level of calculus and world language courses beyond the second-

year level are considered inherently advanced and are assigned Honors-level weighting in accordance with the Honors section above

Arts education courses meeting the standards for proficient and advanced dance music theatre arts and visual arts are assigned Honors-

level weighting in accordance with the Honors section above

ldquoThe State Board of Education in cooperation with the Education Cabinet shall work with local school administrative units the constituent institutions

of the University of North Carolina local community colleges and private colleges and universities to (i) encourage early entry of motivated students into

four-year college programs and to (ii) ensure that there are opportunities at four-year institutions for academically talented high school students to get an

early start on college coursework either at nearby institutions or through distance learning

The State Board of Education shall also adopt policies directing school counselors to make ninth grade students aware of the potential to complete the

high school courses required for college entry in a three-year periodrdquo

For early graduation to take place it is vital that parents students and counselors carefully plan each semesterrsquos courses and for students to

stay on that schedule

Distance education provides access to courses and resources for students and teachers The distance learning program in Franklin County Schools

continues to grow and offers a wide variety of opportunities Students may register through the guidance department in their school for courses that

complement the regular face-to-face course offerings

Most of the distance learning currently offered to our students uses online delivery These classes are held during the regular school day in our distance

learning labs under the supervision of adult facilitators

Online courses are available from two sources North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) and Vance-Granville Community College Registration

for courses through any of these providers is handled by the high school guidance office

North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS)

NCVPS is an initiative by the State of North Carolina through which certified teachers provide instruction in courses that meet the objectives of the

North Carolina Standard Course of Study In addition to courses taught by North Carolina teachers NCVPS provides select courses through approved

third-party providers (for example Oklahoma State University Virtual High Schooltrade Florida Virtual School and APEX Learning) Space in NCVPS

courses is limited by the available facilities and personnel so students need to plan their course of studies carefully with the assistance of their counselor

Schools may restrict enrollment in online classes to courses not already being provided face-to-face Details about NCVPS are found at wwwncvpsorg

NCVPS Course Listing (See a school counselor more information about these online courses)

Vance-Granville Community College

Online courses provided by Vance-Granville Community College (VGCC) through the Career and College Promise Program are accessed during the

school day from the high school distance learning labs Information on this program is found at httpwwwvgcceduHighSchoolStudentsindex

Before committing to an online course students should consider the description below of the qualities of a successful online student

What makes a successful online student

Online Learning KCC Is online learning for you Retrieved 18 October 2007 from

httpacademickelloggccmiusonlineorientsuccessfulstudenthtm

Successful online students possess identifiable qualities The most important qualities would include self-discipline and self-

motivation Initially the online learning process may appear to operate at an accelerated pace This will require commitment on part of the

student to stay up with the class and complete all of the work on time Once a student gets behind it is very difficult to catch up Basically an

online student has to be an individual who wants to be part of an online course and someone who truly wants to experience the online learning

environment

With that in mind the online student should also possess the following qualities

1 Be able to communicate through writing In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written so it is critical that students feel

comfortable in expressing themselves in writing Additionally research and writing skills are vital for all online courses Knowing

how to effectively research the Internet and having strong writing skills will definitely be an advantage

2 Possess strong reading and critical thinking skills Text books and written material presented on the Internet are the primary source of

information for online courses therefore strong reading skills are very important for success in an online course Additionally online

students will be required to evaluate information sources for accuracy bias and reliability

3 Be willing to speak up if problems arise Many of the non-verbal communication mechanisms that instructors use in determining

whether students are having problems (confusion frustration boredom absence etc) are not possible in an online course If a student

is experiencing difficulty on any level (either with the technology or with the course content) he or she must communicate this

immediately to the instructor Otherwise the instructor will never know the student is having difficulty Resolving problems at a

distance without the mechanisms that exist in a regular classroom can pose some challenges Online students need to be assertive in

order to make their needs known

4 Be willing and able to commit to 9 to 12 hours per week per three-credit course The distance learning environment is not easier than

the traditional educational process In fact many students say it requires more time and commitment Time management skills are

necessary as you will have to planmdash and followmdash a schedule for accomplishing your assignments

5 Have reliable and continual access to a computer with a modem access to the Internet and necessary computer software Online

courses use the computer and Internet access as the communication medium The online student must have reliable and frequent access

to the necessary equipment and software Such access can be had either at home work a school computer lab or the local library

6 Feel that high quality learning can take place without going to a traditional classroom If the student feels that a traditional classroom

is a prerequisite to learning he or she may be more comfortable in the traditional classroom Online courses are not for everybody A

student that wants to be on a traditional campus attending a traditional classroom is probably not going to be happy online Though

online interaction removes some of the barriers found in the traditional classroom the social interaction in the online classroom is not

the same as being on a campus

7 Be open and willing to work as part of a group or team Many online courses require group or team activities so the ability to work

well cooperatively is an important skill Do keep in mind that the online environment adds some additional challenges to working in

groupsmdash challenges not barriers

8 Patience and ability to rely on back-up plans for the inevitable technical hurdles Remember technology will inevitably fail Expecting

this successful online students will develop back-up plans for the times when access to the Internet is lost the computer fails to operate

or personal computer files have become corrupted Just as the students who cry the dog ate my homework fail on-campus courses

the online students who cry the dog ate my diskette will fail online courses

9 Be self-motivated and self-disciplined These attributes cannot be stressed enough With the freedom and flexibility of the online

course comes responsibility An online course takes a real commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow and development of

the learning process

10 Capable of having fun while learning The opportunity to learn new and interesting material should always be approached with the

idea that learning can be fun This approach is the same for online courses as well as on-campus courses
