Bibb County Career Academy

Resource/Cooperative Education Department

          The Resource Department was implemented to provide remedial instruction for career technical students lacking basic reading, mathematics, language, science and social studies skills to satisfactorily complete the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. Pre-tests are utilized to determine the students’ current level of functioning in the academic areas mentioned above. Individual graduation exam reports are used to determine weak areas and to arrive at a remedial plan for that particular student. The ultimate goal is for the student to receive adequate remediation to pass all areas of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. The Resource Department strives to strengthen and enforce student skills to satisfactorily master all components of the graduation exam through a variety of methods, procedures, and materials. 
          The Resource Instructor provides instruction for “special needs” students working toward completion of the Occupational Diploma. Portfolio items: Job Skills Math, Life Skills Science, Employment English, and Career Preparation are introduced, reinforced, remediated, and documented. Remedial instruction provides students with knowledge, skills, understanding, problem solving strategies, and attitudes needed to perform in the business world.
          The Resource Instructor also serves as the Cooperative Education Coordinator.  Cooperative Education is a structured component of the Career/Technical Education curriculum that integrates classroom instruction and learning with productive, supervised work experiences in fields related to students' career objectives.  Content is planned for students through a cooperative arrangement between the school and employer using the resources of the community.
          Mrs. Joy Hicks teaches this subject.
