DESIGN ELEMENTS: Bridge Camp 2019 Design Elements.docx
PURPOSE and OVERVIEW:
The Summer Bridge Program at Clear Horizons
is used to bolster incoming freshmen who need academic supports to be
adequately prepared for all honors courses. Once the cumulative folders
are received from the ten intermediate schools in June, an analysis will be
made of the academic backgrounds of the new 125 freshmen. Four half-days
in late July will be reserved for this invitation-only program.
The Summer Bridge Program will be facilitated by faculty members of the ECHS
and will include content specific activities, along with AVID instructional
strategies that support the development of executive functioning skills.
The 8th graders who participate in the Summer Bridge Program will be
kept together as a cohort through their Freshman Advisory, which will meet daily
throughout the school year. These cohorts will be led and
supported by teachers from the Summer Bridge Program.
