Plans for this school year...and history of program.
Originally SPASH just had a Physics 3 semester class for what did not get covered in Physics 1 ... Fluid dynamics, DC circuits, Modern Physics ....
Mr. Konichek takes the Carlton course for AP teachers and finds out that all students need to take the test or the "Buy IN" to work hard at it all year disappears ... students have no incentive to try ...
Plan for 2009 - 2010 Follow the textbook order.
Plan for 2011 - 2012 Cover new material first then go deeper into what we did last year.
Plans for 2012-2013 Check how many are taking the B test and how many are taking the C test then..
cover what B and C students have both have to know 1st Semester...
then 2nd semester divide the class into two groups and work with each seperately. The student teacher will work with the C students 3rd quarter and Mr. Konichek will work with the B students 3rd quarter. 4th quarter Mr. Konichek will work with both groups (keeping them seperate). The C students will mainly be taking practice test and correcting their work...brushing up on weak areas before taking the next practice test. The first half of 4th quarter the B students will be finishing their required units to cover but will join the C students in taking practice test the last 3 weeks of 4th quarter.
