e. Public speaking and Debate: public speaking is included in art, but debate isn't... why? <br /> i. Debate covers a social studies requirement, public speaking is performing arts; it <br /> teaches you the basics of rhetoric, is open to everyone, and you don't need to go <br /> to tournaments or anything like that. <br /> f. Are the live sections of curriculum night recorded? <br /> i. No. Parents can look at the videos and presentations, then can ask the dept head or <br /> teachers if they have any questions. <br /> g. Some parents in different grades are complaining that there is one teacher who unfairly <br /> assigns grades. <br /> i. We can't talk about individual teachers in Site Council meetings. If there's an <br /> individual issue, the person whose child is affected should start with the teacher, <br /> then if there's a larger question that comes with that, you talk with the department <br /> head next. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 7:40. <br /> English Language Arts •Concurrent enrollment in Film and Society (now named <br /> Film and Literature) <br /> Mathematics • Four math courses newly opened to all 12th graders, <br /> including AP Statistics. <br /> •Two Python courses with different starting points: for <br /> beginners and for those with some coding experience. <br /> Performing Arts *Adding Foundations of Drama 2 <br /> •Combining Playwriting and Directing <br /> •Jazz 1 is now Intro to Jazz Performance - and is only a <br /> SEMESTER long now to allow more elective <br /> opportunities for students <br /> Science • Rebrand of AP1 Physics to Honors Physics (concurrent <br /> Enrollment) <br /> •Keep Concurrent Enrollment for Astronomy <br /> •New Course both semesters <br /> o Science of Water <br /> o Science Research Methods <br /> Social Studies • New courses: African American History and Asian <br /> American History.
