role of the classroom teacher |
As in the classroom, Arrowhead Ranch Outdoor Science School has well-defined expectations for student behavior. Students are expected to cooperate with adults by following instructions without showing disrespect or being defiant. During Outdoor School, we strongly believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to manage discipline issues. At right, the discipline system and positive reinforcement system can be downloaded to review with students prior to arrival. Once here, both will be reviewed with the students on the first day of the program. |

| Arrowhead Ranch Outdoor Science School is a school in the truest sense of the word. We are dedicated to educating Southern California students in the life, earth, and physical sciences. We have aligned our instruction and hands-on activities to match the science framework of the California State Board of Education. The links at right will provide the science concepts we teach during our program as well as a detailed glossary of terms used. |
