One to One

One to One is a philosophy that was started by the leadership team at Horn High School and then has been adopted by all of the schools that "feed" into Horn. 1:1 is a symbol that reminds us of the importance of each person on our campus, be it a student, parent or teacher. 1:1 is about building successful relationships, expecting to be the best, making a difference and valuing everyone! We are doing many things to implement the One to One philosophy on our campus. One of my favorite things is the implementation of the Why Try. The WhyTry Program is a simple, hands-on curriculum which helps youth overcome their challenges and improve outcomes in the areas of truancy, behavior, and academics. WhyTry teaches critical social and emotional principles to youth (K-12) using a series of ten pictures (visual analogies) which each teach a principle, such as resisting peer-pressure, or that decisions have consequences. The visual components are then reinforced by music and physical activities. The major learning styles—visual, auditory, and body-kinesthetic—are all addressed.
Ask your student about the current picture or analogy we are studying. They should be able to tell you all about the Reality Ride, Tearing off your Lables, Defense Mechanisms and Climbing Out.
