All 6th grade students in Fauquier County Public Schools are required to take Academic Focus Seminar 6: The intent of the Academic Focus Seminar is to advance students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills in several or specific content areas. The majority of sixth graders will complete multiple enrichment, units that will include an emphasis on appropriately navigating the digital world, world languages and cultures vocabulary study, academic study skills, mathematics and science reasoning and problem solving, fine arts exploration, focused fiction and non-fiction studies, extended writing practice, and college and career readiness. Other students will receive remediation in reading and/or mathematics through programs targeted for their area of academic need or will receive academic skill support as specified in their IEP (Individual Educational Plan). Students will be evaluated in this course on a 4 to 1 scale - 4: exceeds unit expectations; 3: meets unit expectations; 2: minimally meets unit expectations; 1: does not meet unit expectations.
