DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS
We, the Barberton City Board of Education, believe that all youth have a right to educationa
opportunities of a quality and caliber which will develop their potential as individuals and
citizens in a democratic society. This education must be efficient, effective, and conducted
through an instructional process that recognizes each child as unique with unique abilitiesand needs, and accomplished at a cost in keeping with the best principles of fiscal
management and responsibility to the taxpayers.
In pursuit of these goals, we are committed to provide each child with the following
opportunities:
A. To master the basic intellectual skills of reading, writing, computation, speaking, and
listening.
B. To instill an understanding of the world and our everchanging society in order to cope
and adapt to the environment or circumstances.
C. To acquire knowledge and understanding of both our cultural and scientific heritage
and the contemporary world.
D. To foster experiences in democratic living and intellectualize such experience in terms
of democratic values.
E. To foster and develop individual skills and attitudes that will promote success in
post-secondary education and/or in the world of work.
F. To foster the development of creative, aesthetic, and cultural abilities and
interests.
G. To promote the wise and productive use of leisure time.
H. To develop and promote those habits of good health and physical activity that areconducive to a long, productive, and happy life.

To foster a strong sense of self-respect and a commitment to respect and protect the
rights of others.
J. To promote and encourage a high value on education.
K. To encourage the setting and meeting of higher personal performance standards.
We recognize that the mandate for equality, rights, and opportunities cannot guarantee
absolute quality of educational outcome. Personal, social, financial, and political factors that
are beyond a public school system's realm of influence and control all play their role in the
molding of students. Nevertheless, within these restraints, we are committed to the
achievement of excellence and to the furtherance of these goals. As a Board of Education,
we are ever-cognizant of our obligations under State and Federal laws and our burden of
trust and responsibility to the local citizens within the Barberton City School District for
whom the educational institution exists to serve.

Program Philosophy
Barberton Cisco Networking Academy
At Cisco Systems, the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, education is
our heritage as well as our future. The Barberton Cisco Networking Academy is cornmitted
to working with education institutions around the globe to ensure that today's studentsmaster the necessary skills for success in the Intemet Economy. Increasingly, all businesses
will rely on a highly trained, technologyliterate workforce in order to thrive in the coming
years. Toward that end, the Cisco comprehensive e-leaming system, known as the Barberton
Cisco Networking Academy Program, fosters student development and exposure to
information technology through its networking curriculum.
The program centers on teaching students to design, build, and maintain computer
networks. But the significance goes well beyond the central lesson plan. Using Web
technologies, the Barberton Cisco Networking Academy Program prepares students for the 2Is' century workplace and simultaneously serves as a valuable model for successful
e-leaming. We believe the Barberton Cisco Networking Academy will build a foundation for
immediate entrance into a highlyskilled workplace, or preparation for entrance into a
two-year or four-year technical college.

INTERVENTION SERVICES
Individual students may need remediation, reinforcement, or extended learning situations to assist them
with specific performance objectives. As a result, two important assumptions need to be remembered: 1)
intervention must always be tied to assessment and 2) intervention is a shared responsibility. Assessment
may be formal or informal, but it should always indicate to teachers whether intervention is necessary. This
does not mean that a single assessment will necessarily indicate the need for intervention, nor will a single
assessment indicate the type of intervention that should be provided. Rather, intervention programs need to
be based on the full range of assessments that are included in a district's competency-based education
program.
Intervention is a shared responsibility. In the broadest sense, intervention is the responsibility of all
individuals who care about student achievement. Ideally, these structures involve students, teachers,
parents, and building/district administrators. Minimally, intervention should be structured through three
successive levels -- the classroom, the building, and the district. At the core of classroom intervention is
effective instruction aimed at each student. In general, this requires that instruction be focused as much
upon the process of learruing as upon what is learned.
For intervention, the following are model options that could be implemented:
Classroom Level InstructionThe primary responsibility for providing intervention rests with the classroom teacher. The teacher must
identify the need for intervention, design the instructional form it will take, and implement the action.
Intervention in the classroom can take place during a lesson, after a lesson, at the end of a unit, or at the end
(or beginning) of a grade level. However, the most effective intervention point occurs during the initial
instruction.
There are many instruction/intervention patterns, and four of the most commonly observed patterns are
characterized by 1) whole-group instruction, followed by remediation or extension for individual students,
2) whole-group instruction followed by collaborative group work, 3) group problem-solving, and 4)
one-to-one teacher-student interaction
Building Level InterventionWhen the intervention strategies provided in the classroom are not sufficient to meet the needs of an
individual student, it is sometimes necessary to provide alternatives. These alternatives may include
interclass grouping, the establishment of a resource or intervention room, tutorial programs, and a formal
intervention assistance team established at the building level.
Distfict Level InterventionStudents who continue to have need for involvement in classroom and building level intervention programs
need to be placed in district programs. These programs might include a highly individualized summer
school program, a before or after school program during the regular school year, and in the case of
secondary school students, a required remedial academic course or post-secondary enrollment option
8/10/2019 CISCO Networking Academies
51/52
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
One of the primary goals of assessment is to impact instructional planning. It is directly
linked to decisions about the need to remediate, reinforce, or extend student learning.
Intervention strategies cannot be planned until judgments have been reached about student
performance based upon a range of assessments, both formal and informal. Informationgained from student assessments, both formal and informal, is evaluated and used to develop
strategies to address student needs. These ongoing classroom assessments are vital in
providing needed information for the overall success of students and the program.
While students are engaged in learning activities, the teacher can be engaged in ongoing,
informal assessments of student performance. Student responses, the kinds of student
inquiries, the degree of student involvement in learning activities and even the body
language of students can provide valuable information with
regard to student learning. Interpreting classroom interactions as they take place is a form ofassessment that may cause a teacher to modify an instructional strategy or practice. For
example, if several students show signs of being unable to follow an explanation, the teacher
can slow the rate of instruction, write key information on a chalkboard, and demonstrate the
information being presented. When a group or groups of students exhibit difficulty with an
assigned activity, the teacher can
target the individual groups to provide additional explanations.
After students have engaged in a variety of learning activities, more formal types of
assessments may be used. The choice of assessment methods must take into account thenature of the instructional or performance objectives to be assessed. Teachers need to
examine their instructional objectives carefully to determine the intended focus of each
objective. For example, the focus could be on content, skill development, application
performance, or participation. Instructional objectives also can lend themselves to one or
more assessment measures. These assessment measures can include oral and written
performances, listening and reading comprehension tests, individual and group projects, and
student portfolios. Teachers are encouraged to be innovative in assessing the four skill areas
listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
