Background:
|
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) is committed to developing courses that provide students with a wide-range of opportunities to prepare students to “contribute and thrive in a changing world.” Our Board of Education encourages creating new courses and updating courses that are engaging to our students and prepare them for success in the 21st Century. This new course includes the California State Standards and supports students in their pursuit of college and career readiness.
Our high school teachers regularly review course offerings to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable. Based on our strong commitment to engage all learners, the following updated course is being proposed in English Language Arts (ELA).

Status
:
|
As we strive to remain competitive in meeting student and parent requests for rigorous college preparatory coursework, career technical education, and elective opportunities that will prepare students for multiple options beyond high school, we collaborate closely with high school teachers and administrators to keep our courses current and new courses prepared for Board approval.
In an effort to continue to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable, the following updated course is being presented for consideration and approval to include StudySync and align California State Standards for ELA.
Updated Course:
English 12 A/B
In this course, students will continue to progress as writers and critical thinkers through the study of a variety of writing techniques, communication skills, literary genres, and non-fiction texts. Students will continue to develop the skills necessary to be successful in both academics and the workplace. Students will strengthen their reading and writing skills and practice academic reading and writing.
