Program Goal Reading Instruction: By the time they reach high school, students have learned to read; however, many are not yet proficient at reading to learn. A recent issue of Educational Leadership states, “Too often, students have an incomplete notion of what reading actually means. They do not realize the complexities of reading to learn.” In step with the latest in educational research, the Reading Department of H-F provides crucial pathways to academic success for students from the 9th through the 12th grades. As they expand their reading comprehension, vocabularies, writing and study skills, students enrolled in reading classes at H-F will improve their academic performances across the content areas and build lifelong literacy skills. Seminar in Teaching & Learning: Designed for both transfer and current H-F students, Seminar in Teaching & Learning is a community of learners. Students, teachers, and peer leaders work with one another in large and small group situations—both in the classroom and in our state-of-the-art Teaching & Learning Center—to improve academic performance, develop a sense of cognitive self-awareness, hone critical thinking skills, develop a sense of personal self-awareness and, ultimately, become active participants in Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School. |
