The Jedi Code USING A STUDENT’S ENCOMPASSING AS A TOOL FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS

The Jedi Code A Jedi must exhibit responsibility, self discipline, and public service. Following the Jedi theme: one begins as a Youngling (elementary), to an Initiate (middle school), to a Padawan (junior high), and will eventually reach the rank of Jedi Knight (high school).

Journeys for our Padawan In order for a developing Jedi to reach a new level in their training (Initiate to Padawan) a candidate must complete certain journeys on a weekly basis. Each week the candidate will be given a weekly goal to complete, known as a Journey.

Role of the Staff Administration Teachers and Support Staff Peers • Jedi Council Members • Jedi Masters • Fellow Padawans

How a Journey Works • The candidate will be given an objective each week which corresponds with a journey in the Jedi Code. • Objectives are only a week long. – – If the candidate is successful with an objective the candidate will be given a reward. If the candidate fails to meet an objective the candidate will revisit that objective at a later time. • The overall goal of the objectives are for the candidate to meet with more success than failure.

Assessing the Objective through Data Collection �Each week the candidate’s participating Jedi Masters will fill out a form assessing the candidate’s performance. �Objectives will range from daily data recording to only recording data on specific days.

Breaks During a Journey • The candidate may receive one 5 minute “meditation” break each class period, if needed. • Meditation consists of the candidate practicing an “exercise in stealth” by attempting not to be noticed in the halls of the Jedi Academy (Holt Junior High School) – – May get a drink of water No talking

Rewards Only given when the candidate successfully completes an objective within a journey. As a reward the candidate will be able to pretend he is a Jedi for on activity period after the week the candidate successfully completes a journey.
