47th Annual JCCASAC State Conference: Full Schedule

As we prepare our students for a modern workforce that is highly adaptable, creative, and changing teachers need better lesson plans than we’ve been historically supplied for the “factory model” classroom. Jon Corippo will be sharing lesson design ideas and mindsets that can adapt to many levels and subject areas. Jon has been textbook-free since 1999 and wants more teachers to see the powerful effect of being creators of their classroom learning.

CARE Diversion Program: Community Action for Responsive Education (Session I)

Session Evaluation

The CARE Diversion Program provides a positive alternative educational program for students, families and schools in Sacramento County. The CARE program is an intervention program capable of supporting the needs of at-risk students in a community school setting on the student’s existing middle or high school campus. CARE provides a “school within a school” model for students whose behavior, attendance, and/or academic performance is not conducive to current or future success. We believe that when the appropriate interventions and environments are created, students will succeed, be given the flexibility for emotional growth and have positive outcomes for the future.
