Transpersonal Psychology, sometimes called "Tripping," is an introductory self-awareness course. Students in this class examine their limiting beliefs and negative thinking and feeling patterns in order to redirect them to more positive ends. In order to understand their motives and behavior, students keep extensive logs of dreams, insights, and changes in consciousness. Students learn to identify and integrate their various sub-personalities into a more adult identity. Students learn meditation and stress-reduction techniques and practice setting and reassessing goals. Upon completion a student will have developed a vision of a life path and will have learned a set of usable tools for personal growth along that path. Individuals who have completed Transpersonal Psychology often report real improvement in their ability to make decisions, communicate effectively, think positively, and deal realistically with life. Homework is assigned on a regular basis. This course may be repeated for credit. 38

This course meets the CSU and the UC ‘g’ Elective college entrance requirement. Graduation Requirement: Requirement: Students must earn 20 credits of mathematics AT LOGAN HS, in order to graduate from JLHS. Algebra 1 may be required depending on whether or not Algebra 1 was successfully completed at NHUSD middle schools or whether or not an Algebra 1 course is validated from transcripts of other schools or districts. Algebra 1 is a requirement of the State of California. Students who passed Algebra 1 and/or Geometry at one of the NHUSD middle schools must also earn 20 credits of mathematics at JLHS to complete graduation requirements. Students may choose, with good reason, to retake either/both Algebra 1 and/or Geometry at Logan for high school credit (the middle school course in Algebra 1 and Geometry do not give high school credits towards graduation) but only if their grades at middle school were C or below C. Under these circumstances of retaking the courses, these courses would count towards the graduation requirement as long as the courses are successfully accomplished. All prerequisites for subsequent courses (typically but not always a C or better) are strictly enforced at the time of registration or when the classes begin late summer. Meeting prerequisites (typically C or better prior to taking a subsequent course) is the responsibility of the student. Parents, family, and students are urged to check on grades and prerequisites. JLHS has an “open access” policy for course selection. This policy usually allows students to select from most courses in the catalog. It does NOT mean, however, that students can automatically take any class. Students must be prepared or take steps to prepare themselves for the successful completion of subsequent courses. A grade of “C” is the informal consideration for preparation prior to subsequent courses. It indicates a level of preparedness. A grade of “B” is the informal consideration prior to HONORS or AP level courses. It indicates a level of preparedness for subsequent Honors and AP classes. Summer Study can help prepare students whose grades do not meet these informal guidelines. Please consult counselors or the Chairperson of the Mathematics Department for advice. Grades of A or B indicate a strong background for future courses. Prior to Calculus, students must have Pre-Calculus. Prior to Trigonometry & Statistics, students will take Algebra 2. Prior to AP Statistics, students should have Pre-Calculus. Prior to MVDE, students must have Calculus BC on their transcript. Students are urged to consult with their counselors with respect to their CASSPP exams and other standardized tests in their file. It may help with a decision for future courses. JLHS Math Graduation Requirement 2 years or 20 credits of Math taken at JLHS, Algebra 1 and Geometry taken at Middle School is not part of the 20 credits. Course Descriptions: Algebra 1 University of California Admissions: Math 3 years required, including Geometry 4 years is recommended ALGEBRA 1 (L2109) 10 Credits, One Year, Grades 9, 10 This course meets the CSU and UC ‘c’ mathematics college entrance requirement. Prerequisite: Readiness to take Algebra by either (1) transcripts from other districts indicating proper background (lacking transcripts, exams will be administered for placement) or (2) a grade of C or better in 8th grade pre-algebra. Please read the full syllabus for Algebra 1 on the JLHS Website. Algebra 1 is required by the State of California. If a student successfully completes Algebra 1 at one of the NHUSD middle schools, no Logan graduation credits are awarded. If a student does not receive at least a C grade at the middle schools, the student has the option of summer school or repeating the course at Logan. Algebra 1 is considered the gateway to success in all subsequent mathematics study. The acquisition of the skills of Algebra 1 is vital to future success. There will be frequent homework in this course. Students should make good effort with homework as a way to practice algebra skills and develop effective study skills. This course may not be repeated for credit. Math 39
