Teacher Credentials: B. S. Ed. in Mathematics Secondary Education from the University of Georgia.
This teacher is fully certified and/or licensed by the state, has earned at least a bachelors degree and demonstrates
competence in each core academic subject area in which the teacher teaches as required by NCLB legislation (2001) &
Title II-A.
Course Description: Statistical Reasoning is a fourth mathematics course option for students who have completed
Algebra II, Advanced Algebra, Accelerated Geometry B/Algebra II, or Accelerated Analytic Geometry B/Advanced
Algebra. The course provides experiences in statistics beyond the CCGPS sequence of courses, offering students
opportunities to strengthen their understanding of the statistical method of inquiry and statistical simulations. Students
will formulate statistical questions to be answered using data, will design and implement a plan to collect the appropriate
data, will select appropriate graphical and numerical methods for data analysis, and will interpret their results to make
connections with the initial question.
See https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Frameworks/Statistical-Reasoning-Standards.pdf.
Standards Based Instruction: This course will include information in compliance with the Common Core Georgia
Performance Standards. For complete coverage of this courses standards please see https://www.georgiastandards.org/
WIDA Standards: Students who are determined to require English language assistance will receive accommodations
from the classroom and ESOL teachers according to the WIDA performance standards in compliance with the WorldClass Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Consortium. See http://www.wida.us/.

Remediation procedures:
At the 9 week mid-term and 18 week final, students who perform well on the standard and material that was assessed
earlier in the semester and received a failing grade can have that grade replaced. Only failed assessments can be repaired
and the highest grade that can be earned is a 70 (See p. 14 Option 2 in CCHS Student Handbook).
Infinite Campus: The fastest and most up-to-date way for parents to track a students progress is to utilize the Parent
Portal piece of the Infinite Campus student information system. To obtain access to Parent Portal parents may pick up a
Parent Portal Registration Form from the CCHS Guidance department or from the school of the youngest child registered
in Colquitt County. Parents who utilized Parent Portal during the 2014-2015 school yeardo not need to register again.
Important Resources for Parents: Colquitt County High School depends upon parent participation to fuel our School
Improvement Plan. Please utilize the links at http://colquitt.high.schooldesk.net/ to learn about the school improvement
process and parent involvement. Please contact Mrs. Stephanie Terrell, Principal Colquitt County High School with any
comments, questions or suggestions. Also, please refer to the CCHS 2015-2016 student handbook for important rules and
procedures at CCHS.
Late Work:
Assignments turned in late will lose 5 points per day it is late, up to 25 points.
Absence and Make-up Work:
When a student is absent, he/she will have three school days following the students return to make up missing work. An
excuse is necessary for the missing work to be graded. See p. 11 in the CCHS Student Handbook for more details.
Important Issues:

Homework will be given on most days and students are expected to complete all homework assignments.
Homework is an essential step in the learning process. Practicing the skills taught in class will promote a better
understanding of mathematical concepts thus ensuring success on assessments and in the course.
Writing and technology is very important in all subject areas. We will be doing different writing assignments in
our class, as well as incorporating the appropriate use of technology.
Students are responsible for getting class notes from another student when they are absent. It is the students
responsibility to complete and turn in make-up work. When a student misses class, it is wise for him or her to
come in for extra help after school so that we can go over the concepts that the student missed. Students must
makeup missed quizzes and tests before or after school or during extended period.
Students are encouraged to come in for extra help. Often, a few minutes of individual help can result in a student
understanding material that he or she found difficult.
Be sure to refer to your student handbook for progress report dates, report card dates, and exam dates.
Students who do not complete assignments may be assigned an academic referral that will be handled by a school
administrator. The purpose of the referral is to help students end behaviors that will jeopardize their learning and
success in the course.
