荣誉课程是支持加强学院的完成文化和学术成就的支柱(战略倡议1). 该计划的主要目的是为学生提供进一步发展的学术机会, try harder, 比在非荣誉课程中更深入地挑战自己,并在那种环境中取得成功. 荣誉课程的结构更像是四年制大学的研讨班式的高年级课程(我们的学生已经转学到加州大学洛杉矶分校), UC Berkeley, Brigham Young, Columbia, and many more), and stress independent, 批判性思维将有助于他们在任何专业追求.
我们对项目的重组也加强了巴特的战略目标,即通过使项目更容易获得和提高学生的公平,加强包容性文化(战略倡议6)。. 我们很久以前就取消了最低GPA要求,最近又取消了英语2的先决条件. 不会降低或取消该计划的标准, 我们相信这些改变会给更多的学生一个机会来证明这一点, 无论他们过去取得了什么成就(或没有取得什么成就), 他们现在可以接受荣誉课程的挑战,证明自己.
1. 为了提高荣誉课程的知名度和入学率,荣誉学生每学期都要在尽可能多的英语2课上做演讲,介绍该课程的神秘性(因为直到今年,英语2还是荣誉课程的先决条件), 它仍然是获得荣誉学位的一个很好的单一课程, since writing is a mainstay of the program). One visit to Chico High English students to promote the program was made by Honors students; this outreach needs to be continued and increased to other area high schools.
2. Since the 2013 Program Review, 几个新的荣誉课程已经被添加到时间表中, 更多的要么在课程中,要么正在建设中.
3. The program remains in transition; however, assessment has been ongoing in the program's Unit Plans.
4. The Honors Program's budget remains at $500.
5. 学生和教师之间的合作一直是, 并且仍然是荣誉课程的主要优势.
6. 优等生继续转学到著名的学院和大学. Perhaps, 现在E世博ESBALL聘请了一位全职研究员, these transfers can begin to be tracked.
1. 随着2016年秋季新的荣誉课程的增加,重新调整荣誉课程的年度课程安排.
2. Continue working on improving enrollment; hopefully the new classes will help with this, 我们还会继续安排一名或多名优等生在英语二课上做报告, College Connection, and other classes. 一旦所有新的荣誉课程完成,并建立2年的周期, 该项目将加强与Butte的营销部门的合作.
3. 与所有荣誉教师会面,讨论共同目标和教学方法.
4. 继续与各个部门的老师合作,完成正在进行的荣誉课程.

Lower ped caps of all Honors classes to 25
To better focus on student success and retention; to more accurately reflect Honors class sizes
