______________________________________________________
Academic supports at WLA
How the leadership model supports learning and development:
At WLA, we utilize a different educational model (military structure) designed to support student
learning, development of positive habits, self-respect, self-discipline, leadership and character. Students
at each grade level are assigned to a company, and they have a teacher (CO/company commander) and an
educational assistant (NCO/Unit 1st Sergeant) to reach out to for support. If the student is struggling
academically, they are advised to approach this team for additional help. The student companies compete
in physical, drill and academic competitions; the competitions facilitate and encourage peer assistance.
This leadership model allows for students to have multiple sources of support within their peer groups
(squad leaders, platoon leader, class leader) and to adults to reach out to for assistance when they need
academic or other assistance.
6
Volunteer Counselors & Interns
We have volunteer counselors who serve our student community by visiting with students on a referral
basis. Staff can refer a student to see a counselor, or a student can see their CO or NCO and request to be
referred for an appointment. These local school psychologists are currently in training and attending or
working as supervising counselors at Northwest Christian University. This resource allows us to serve
our students’ emotional needs more effectively without relying solely on visits from a district school
counselor. If you’d like to discuss options for your student, please contact their CO/NCO, or case manager
if the student is utilizing Special Education Services, to discuss options.
Special Education Services
Willamette Leadership Academy provides Special Education Services for Students with disabilities who
qualify for an Individual Education Program (IEP). Student’s on IEPs receive specially designed
instruction related to their goal areas and accommodations and modifications according to their IEP.
These services are provided in the least restrictive environment for each student. Willamette Leadership
Academy provides a general education setting for all students and Special Education services are
provided in the classroom and outside of the classroom if necessary. These Special Education services are
in accordance with the IDEA Act. Students and parents may get additional information from the SPED
department and administration at the time of enrollment.
Peer Tutoring
Students at WLA who have demonstrated academic success in a particular content area are allowed to
provide supervised tutoring of students in that subject area. Students who voluntarily commit to a
schedule of assistance with another student learn from the experience, and can earn community service
hours. Tutors may advise and assist; they can help build the necessary skills and understanding through
peer instruction. They are not allowed to do another cadet’s homework, assist during tests, or directly
oversee course work. Research has shown that the tutor often gains more knowledge than those assigned
needing assistance, because you learn more by trying to teach or explain a concept than in regular
coursework.
Peer Mentoring
For the last few years, select students from the junior and senior classes have been paired with incoming
freshmen to advise them on non-academic matters. They have held class presentations on how to succeed
academically (take notes! See your teachers! Come to school!) at WLA, how to avoid drama in peer
groups, how to resist peer pressure, and how to build character. They have also met in pairs or small
groups (supervised by staff) to help particular students who are struggling. Students who have asked to
participate (as a mentor or requesting one) have reported positive benefits. If you’d like to find out more,
let your CO/NCO know you are interested. The program is developed each year as student leaders
emerge.

Course Descriptions
This section has brief descriptions of the courses available for the 2016-2017 academic year. Students
will be assigned a course schedule that is designed to meet their core requirements, and electives will be
assigned according to student choice and course availability. Students may not be able to take their first
preference of elective and CTE courses due to the need to prioritize satisfying core academic courses, the
periods they have open and limited class sizes of particular electives. Students are advised to plan ahead,
and consider their post-high school plans when selecting preferences for their education plans.
Due to our size, staffing, and student choice not every class may be offered every year. If a class does not
have a minimum number of students interested and available, for example, it may be cancelled. For the
2016-2017 school year, this will be finalized at the start of the year as we are still hiring and scheduling
courses. It is also important to note that student choice increases throughout their academic year. Their
freshmen year, their schedule may be full of core required classes, for example. However, if they pass
their courses, their schedule opens up and allows for more and more choice as they progress towards
their senior year. Failing a course limits choice as the student will have to retake a course or fill the
period with a required, instead of an elective course.

Academic Planning Checklists and Career Information Services
Starting this year, WLA will be using Career Information Systems (CIS), to assist students to plan for
graduation, explore career options, prepare for standardized tests, learn job skills, apply for scholarhips,
and complete their Personalized Learning Requirements. Students will complete a checklist of different
activities throughout their four years at WLA, culminating in a final career project their senior year.
Why CIS?
Career Information Systems has information on various careers, educational institutions, and career
requirements all in one place. Students can look up a career choice and find out the salary and benefits of
the career, how many are projected to be hired in Oregon and nationwide, demand outlook, the hiring
practices, college degree requirements, program names, which colleges have the program, program costs,
etc. all through one site. Students can also save all of their career research, skills surveys, resumes, letters
of recommendation, transcripts, community service records, work samples or other documents all in one
portfolio. CIS is also unique because the student will have access to this information for their lifetime. If
they are considering a career change, they can log into CIS at any age and find current data on the career
of interest.
Learning Express
CIS also has links to the public library system and resources for students to take high school, college or
career exams. If the student is studying for standardized testing, the SAT, military officer exams or
nursing school entrance exams- they are available through the Learning Express link on CIS.
