JLAB 2012 JROTC UNIT BEST PRACTICE ACADEMIC AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS New Bedford High School JROTC – New Bedford, MA Our best practices MUST begin with our Academic and Leadership Teams. New Bedford is an urban high school which faces many of the same challenges all too familiar across the country. In our case, we are on the verge of being deemed a “Level 5 school” which would mandate being taken over by the state. Previously our JROTC program was not noted for academic excellence. However in three of the past four years we’re proud to say we’ve been able to send a Leadership Team to the Marshall Symposium. In that same span, we’ve been quite literally knocking on the door with our Academic team. In that same span, our Academic Team has two second place finishes and a third as well. Here is our list of Academic Team best practices: 1. Mandated Study Guides: Who: All Academic and Leadership Team Members What: Study guides and practices When: Home sessions and twice weekly practices in school Organization: AI / Team Advisor along with Captains and Co Captains: Staff Responsibilities / Command and Control: None – Not applicable Resources required: computer / internet access / printer / three ring binders Timeline: September collection of tm members and ongoing adjustments through year.
