6003: Peer Tutoring
Grade Level: 10-12
½ Credit
Peer tutoring is a credited elective class for students without disabilities to gain experience working with same-aged students with severe cognitive
and physical disabilities in educational settings. While in the peer tutoring course, students without disabilities will learn about different cognitive
and physical disabilities, different learning styles, instructional and motivational techniques, and careers in the special education fields. Peer tutors
will learn the characteristics of being a good role model, as well as helping some of their peers learn everyday skills. Peer tutors will help students
with disabilities set goals, monitor their progress, and reach their intended outcomes. The day-to-day activity of a peer tutor can certainly change,
depending on the student with whom the peer tutor is working and what is scheduled for the student that day. The peer tutor could go to a
regular education classroom, work in the special education classroom, go on Community Based Instruction, go to a job site, go on a field trip, or eat
lunch with the students with disabilities. Everyday will prove to be different!

Grade Level: 10-12
½ Credit
The high school Aviation program consists of two online AeroScholars aviation courses supplemented with a variety of aviation materials, field trips
and programs. These courses are not simply textbooks on the Internet. They are comprised of lecture material that has been proven over years of
instruction, educational video, 3D animations, interactive questions, and other multimedia learning tools. The courses emphasize important
questions, concepts, and principles that have helped students excel, not only in aviation, but in their whole educational experience. The curriculum
correlates to NSTA national science standards. Students are encouraged to participate in the Young Eagles program which will allow the student to
fly with an EAA pilot. Students can also receive up to 12.5 hours on the schools flight simulator with a certified pilot instructor. Students may be
responsible for the fee for the online courses of $100 and $150 respectively. The ground certification test (the equivalent of the temporary license
