Roosevelt Alternative School ensures that each faculty and staff member
is highly qualified to work with students who benefit from an
non-traditional educational program. Each teacher is required to
maintain their certification for their particular teaching
assignment. The campus counselor is a Licensed Professional
Counselor and certified in specialized areas of counseling that serve
our students. To ensure high performance teaching and learning,
Roosevelt Alternative School uses a comprehensive performance management
system which addresses individual goal-setting, related assessment
measures and continuous professional development. We will guide
you, the student, we will encourage you, the student, and we will
provide you with the necessary opportunity to be successful. You
will be expected to make a sincere effort to all educational and social
skill assignments that are given to you. Bi-weekly progress
reports will be provided to the parents. The progress report must
be signed by the parent and returned to the teacher.

Mr.
Charles Floodine, our Social Studies teacher brings 28 years of
experience to Roosevelt Alternative School. He says, "My
students are working in a portfolio format at their own pace.
While I follow the home campus timelines I often find the students
further ahead in the curriculum than the timelines call for thanks to
the portfolio format."
Mr.
Bill Britt, is our Science teacher and technology advisor.
He was Mission CISD's teacher of the year for the year 2000 and was
nominated for the University of Texas Teacher's Excellence Award, (only
178 teachers in the state were selected for this honor). He is
responsible for all forms of Science curriculum and oversees the care
and upkeep of all the computers and software on campus. He is also
our Academic Team leader. Mr. Britt
states, "The programs we have installed here at Roosevelt
Alternative School is definitely a step in the right direction.
The behavior management programs along with our computer instruction
will ensure our students will get the very best instruction while here
at RAS. No one can say that our students are lacking in an
opportunity to learn."
