Guidance Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who reports directly to the Director of Guidance. Each faculty advisor is responsible for eight to ten students. Beginning in grade ten, the College Placement Office begins the formal college search. This becomes increasingly intensive through the first semester of the senior year at which point all applications have been filed on behalf of the student. Standardized Testing Admiral Farragut Academy has been designated a national testing site for the ACT, SAT I, and SAT II. Juniors and seniors are required to test on six occasions to benefit from score improvement. In addition, sophomores and juniors take the PSAT every October. The entire student body is administered the CAT (California Achievement Test) on an annual basis. International students are required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) during the first semester of the senior year for college placement purposes. A typical senior class earns a mean score of ten to fifteen percent higher than the national average on both the SAT I and the ACT. The average TOEFL score for the class of 1997 was 598. Dual Enrollment The dual enrollment program allows students to earn both high school and college credit for their course work. Courses are offered on our campus and taught by Farragut instructors who are also adjunct faculty members at the

SPMS Student Services (Guidance and School Counseling) Short Pump Middle School 4701 Pouncey Tract Road Glen Allen, VA 23059 General Information The Guidance and School Counseling program at SPMS is a planned, sequential service that is proactive in scope and developmental in nature. Our purpose is to assist students in exploring possible pathways that will provide positive academic, career, personal, and social education. Students may come to the Guidance and School Counseling Center reception area on the second floor before school, at lunch time, between classes, or after school, when time permits. Students must have a pass or an appointment to see a counselor, except in unusual or emergency situations. Appointment slips are placed in the mailbox of the homeroom teacher. They are given to the student, and it is generally the student’s responsibility to keep the appointment. Students are responsible for making up any classwork missed during an appointment and/or during a group session. If the student is absent or cannot keep the appointment for some reason (i.e., scheduled in the middle of taking a test), the student may note the reason and return the slip to guidance. A new appointment will be scheduled. Calling a student out of class for an unscheduled appointment will be done only when absolutely necessary. Our guidance counselors support and enhance a student's learning by providing: • Orientation to the school for new students • Orientation for faculty and staff to the guidance program

Be reviewing the relevant statutes and court decisions when developing home education policies, school districts will be able to ensure that their policies and language do not go outside the boundaries of statutory language and court decisions. Legitimate considerations for school officials who are reviewing home education proposals are delineated in two Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decisions: Care and Protection of Charles The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that school committees may enforce certain reasonable educational requirements in the case of home education. The Court also cautioned superintendents and school committees that homeschool approvals must not be conditioned on requirements that are not essential to the State interest in ensuring that "all children shall be educated." The Court then issued some guidelines for approval of home education proposals.

The acceptable grade and credit assignment will be determined by the department chair for each subject area being tested. College credit will be given on a Marist transcript as CBE, credit by examination. Two of the most common standardized tests available to adult students are Excelsior College Examinations (ECE) and the College Level Exam Program (CLEP). DETERMINING WHICH TEST TO TAKE Students may not receive credit for standardized test results if they have already received transfer credit for similar learning at colleges previously attended so you need to be careful about reviewing your transfer credits before signing up for an examination. If you have questions about this, please speak with your advisor. Marist requires that students taking the CLEP examinations do so in one of the subject areas (as opposed to the general examinations). Many subject examinations are designed to correspond to one-semester courses; some, however, correspond to full-year or two-year courses. Each Subject Examination is 90 minutes long and is composed of multiple-choice questions to be answered in two separately timed sections. Currently, CLEP offers examinations in the following subject areas:

Psychology, Society, and Ability Testing (1859-2002): Transformative alternatives to Mental Darwinism and Interactionism Preface, Beginning in 1859 with Darwin's (rather Lamarckian) views on mental evolution and ending with an emphasis on the regressive aspects of the federal "Leave No Child Behind" Act in America (signed by Bush on Jan, 8, 2002), this book obviously covers a fair bit of interdisciplinary and cultural-historical ground. It tells the tale of how both Mental Darwinism (i.e., the psychometric selection of the so-called fittest, most talented minds) and Interactionism (i.e., genes plus environment rationales) have guided the production, implementation, and interpretation of past and ongoing standardized testing programs. It also, however, compares the track record of these two "bell curve" based approaches with that of a succession of examples of those who took a third path -which I call " Transformative ."
