About this organization
Mission
THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PREPARATORY ACADEMY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL IS TO PROVIDE THE EDUCATION AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TO EMPOWER AND PREPARE UNDER-CREDITED ADULTS FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS, VIABLE EMPLOYMENT AND LIFELONG LEARNING.
About
THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS THE FIRST ADULT CHARTER SCHOOL EAST OF THE ANACOSTIA RIVER AND IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING NEEDS OF RESIDENTS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AS THEY SEEK TO TRANSITION TO COLLEGE OR CAREERS. SPECIAL FOCUS HAS BEEN GIVEN TO RESIDENTS OF WARDS 7 AND 8 WHERE THERE IS THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF ADULTS WITH CHALLENGES IN EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS AND THE FEWEST PROGRAMS. THE CHARTER SCHOOL PROVIDES EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES TO ADULTS (18 YEARS AND OLDER). THE DESIGN OF THE SCHOOL WAS IN RESPONSE TO TWO MAJOR CHALLENGES CONFRONTING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, NAMELY: 1. THE INCREASING NUMBER OF ADULTS IN THEIR PRIME WAGE-EARNING YEARS, ENTERING POST- SECONDARY EDUCATION UNPREPARED TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE OR ADVANCED VOCATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS; AND 2. THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF DC RESIDENTS UNABLE TO BE EMPLOYED IN THE CITY DUE TO THE LACK OF CORE ACADEMIC SKILLS AND THE LACK OF CERTIFICATED WORKFORCE SKILLS REQUIRED BY THE CITY'S KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES: THE INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL FOR CC PREP RESPONDS TO THESE CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING A COMPREHENSIVE, PROVEN, BLENDED LEARNING APPROACH. PROGRAMMING INCLUDES: REMEDIATION IN CORE ACADEMIC SKILLS; CORE SKILLS IN COMPUTER LITERACY; ON-LINE LEARNING THAT LEADS TO A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA VIA THE NEW GED EXAM, COLLEGE ENTRY AT FRESHMAN LEVEL VIA SUCCESSFUL PREPARATION FOR THE ACUPLACER EXAMINATION. THE CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM INCLUDES PREPARATION FOR A RANGE OF HIGHLY PORTABLE, NATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS TO SUPPORT ENTRY TO THE CITY'S KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY AND JOB MARKET. SPECIAL FOCUS PREPARES STUDENTS FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE TECHNOLOGY AND TECH-RELATED FIELDS. THIS FOCUS WAS SELECTED AS IT OFFERS THE BROADEST RANGE OF OPTIONS FOR ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT, INCLUDING EVERYTHING FROM A DATA ENTRY CLERK TO CERTIFIED HELP DESK AND CABLING TECHNICIAN. THE SCHOOL'S PROGRAMMING IS BASED ON THE FOUR OUTCOMES FOR CC PREP ADULT LEARNERS: 1. SUCCESSFUL HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION VIA THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY EXAMINATION (GED); 2. SUCCESSFUL ENTRY INTO COMMUNITY COLLEGE AT FRESHMAN LEVEL AS A RESULT OF PREPARATION FOR THE ACCUPLACER ENTRY EXAMINATION; 3. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF NATIONAL ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATIONS IN THE EMERGING FIELDS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (I.E., TECHNOLOGY, ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT AND HEALTH CAREERS); AND/OR 4. SUCCESSFUL ATTAINMENT OF NECESSARY SKILLS IN REASONING, MATHEMATICS, COMPUTERS, AND ON- LINE RESEARCH REQUIRED FOR LIFE-LONG LEARNING IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. IN OUR THIRD YEAR, WE CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR ROLE AS A MICROSOFT OFFICE ACADEMY SCHOOL. WE ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST PRODUCTIVE MOS ACADEMY SCHOOL IN THE CITY. THIS YEAR WE ARE BEGINNING A PILOT PROGRAM IN CODING CALLED LAUNCH CODE. BASED UPON REVIEW OF OUR STUDENT DATA, WE CONTINUED AS A YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL AND OPERATED FROM 9:00 AM TO 9:00 PM DAILY, PROVIDING INSTRUCTION IN THREE-HOUR SESSIONS: 9:00AM TO 12:00 NOON, 1:00PM TO 4:00 PM AND 5:00PM TO 8:45 PM MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY EVENINGS. ALL ADULT LEARNERS ARE ASSESSED INITIALLY AND AT REGULAR INTERVALS (EVERY 6 TO 8 WEEKS BASED ON INITIAL GRADE EQUIVALENT SCORES) USING THE ETABE (TEST OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION). THE ETABE WAS SELECTED AS IT IS ALIGNED WITH MY FOUNDATIONS LAB, THE CORE CURRICULUM AND THE NEW GED. THE NEW GED PREPARATION PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO ALIGN WITH THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS AND HAS REMAINED THE DECLARED GOAL FOR 55% OF ALL ENROLLED STUDENTS. BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS, STUDENTS COMPLETE AN INDIVIDUAL LEARNING PLAN (ILP) WITH THEIR ASSIGNED STUDENT SUCCESS SPECIALIST. THEY ALSO SIGN OFF ON A LEARNING CONTRACT AND AGREE TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDANCE, INDIVIDUAL BI-WEEKLY ACADEMIC REVIEWS AND SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REVIEWS. ALL STUDENTS SPEND A MINIMUM OF FIFTEEN HOURS A WEEK IN CLASS. IN ADDITION TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED ETABE ASSESSMENTS, STUDENTS ARE ASSESSED FOR SKILL MASTERY AS PART OF THE CURRICULAR DESIGN. ONCE STUDENTS REACH THE 7TH GRADE 5TH MONTH LEVEL IN READING, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO BEGIN MICROSOFT WORD TRAINING, WHICH IS NOW RECOMMENDED FOR ALL STUDENTS. WHEN STUDENTS REACH THE 9TH GRADE LEVEL IN READING AND MATHEMATICS, STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN EITHER GED OR ACCUPLACER BOOT CAMPS (WEEKLY INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY ON TEST TAKING SKILLS).
