The program offers many services that help both of students and illume to realize whatever they want in their career and being ready for future’s job.

Each service is different to other one based on their purpose, period of time, the semester that they exist on, guideline, and forum.

The students at Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, also known as SCCA, are bright young students with potential to make their future an outstanding work of art. They are students who are serious about their education and will do anything to get to the highest pinnacle in life. But besides being determined and solemn scholars, they are still only teenagers in high school who just want to have fun. The culture at SCCA lacks fun, excitement, and freedom, and the main reason for that is because of the Burton School District that runs the facility. There needs to be some changes in the Burton School District and in the culture of SCCA.

Busch Middle School of Character had a wonderful sense of community, each student, instructor, and family, made sure they were doing their part. I believe it’s important for educators to understand the needs of the families and community of their students because the more resources the better. When schools actively involve parents

The mission at Zebulon B. Vance High School “is to graduate young adults who are self-directed, intellectually engaged citizens ready for college, career, and life.” Furthermore, it is a communal belief that “all students can learn and achieve at a high level; that an open channel of communication among faculty; students and parents is vital to cultivating student respect, responsibility, and independence; a commitment from all stakeholders creates a safe and nurturing environment through academic performance, extracurricular activities, involvement, positive behavior, and respect for diversity; a secure and supportive climate fosters school pride and citizenship; high academic standards motivate students to realize their highest potentials; cross-curricular instruction and utilization of technology will prepare students for future challenges in work and in life; providing teachers and staff with resources and professional development opportunities promote individual and instructional growth; support from local businesses, universities, and community organizations help students develop life skills and decorum necessary for success in a diverse” world.

One of the most important things that we need to remember as middle level teachers, is that every young adolescent is different, and because of those differences, we need to make sure that our lessons and activities reflect this aspect of young adolescents. The middle school age student is extremely complex. On one hand, they don’t fit into the elementary age of little kids, yet aren’t quite as mature as high school aged students. At this age, it is imperative to create lessons that are unique and captivating. Often the biggest problem about teaching middle school aged children is that they need motivation to do their work. In high school, students are worried about not doing well enough to get into college, while in elementary school their

In the school environment, teachers may often experience different type of students that come from poor to wealthy families. As a teacher, it is important to learn and be open-minded about students’ backgrounds. In COE 202, my plan is to volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club and learn from my experience. It is important for me to volunteer because I need to experience what my future career will be like. Service learning can help one learn new things about what one’s interested in. The Boys and Girls Club is a good opportunity for me to see what it is like working with kids from low income families.

Learning is a lifelong endeavor in which people experience continually: learning new information and techniques every day. The world revolves around the nurturing and growth of future generations. Each person repeatedly develops and accepts new strategies to accurately exude knowledge into adolescent lives. Over the last decades, the United States has developed new teaching practices to assist in the education for young minds. Using documents such as the Common Core Standards, established in 2001, or the Every Student Succeeds Act, established in 2015, has aided in the updating of school curriculum by requiring districts “to put state standards into place so all students have access to high-quality content and instruction” (Academic). The

Career Academies is implemented within the high school setting and strives to provide instruction in small learning communities. Additionally, the program offers youth both academics and exposure to a particular occupation or sector. The important key Career Academies focus is on partnering with local employers to provide concrete work-based learning opportunities (Wilmer and Bloom, 2014). This program is open to both at-risk men and women with the goal of impacting families that may have began before high school graduation.

Participating in the community more deeply will provide me with the opportunity to nurture a partnership with parents, students, and non-profits and better understand how the school and non-school factors contribute to academic achievement. Having this understanding helps a teacher alter their instructional practices in the classroom to meet students’ needs. Community engagement with after-school programs also allows teachers to build relationships with parents and students to motivate them to achieve academic success. More importantly, it will create an opportunity to experience how effective collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and non-profits can drive academic and behavioral success in school in a way that cannot be learned in a lecture-style graduate-level class.

As a junior, my career choice looms over me and I need to make a decision The quizzes, I take to show what could interest me, have given me multiple answers that I researched. These career clusters are helping me decide which path I want to follow.

As big 4th graders you will be coming to the scary middle school next year, only it isn’t so scary. To start with, our middle school’s mission statement is “The mission of the Upper Dauphin Area Middle School is to provide a safe learning environment for students, to encourage them to settle for nothing less than their best, and to build character that will lay the foundation upon which they will build their futures.” First, one of the best parts of the middle school is our character building discovery program. As a result of this program, we are able to believe that character is who you are when nobody's watching. This discovery program encourages positive behavior and helps kids to check their own character. In addition, our mission statement

“High school: the best of times, the worst of times!” Schools today are vastly different from the schools that our parents attended or in some cases even the ones we attended. In fact, racism, violence, and abuse are just some of the barriers that students and teachers face throughout their day at most high schools across America. However, we have to understand that most of those issues are caused by the lack of understanding about the diverse group of young adults we see on a daily basis. My understanding of diversity is different groups of people with varied backgrounds and beliefs. With this in mind, teachers need to model for students and peers what positive learning communities look like. One thing that needs to be addressed early

Over the course of the semester, I received the privilege of spending my Monday afternoons with children at Discovery Elementary School in St. Cloud. I assisted in looking after the kids during their after-school program, Kidstop, and my responsibilities ranged from consoling teary eyes to assisting with the reading of a girl attending Spanish-immersion school. I genuinely enjoyed cultivating relationships with curious kids from numerous diverse backgrounds. The students at Discovery taught me valuable lessons as we played and laughed together. Throughout my volunteering experience, I utilized teaching styles and knowledge gained in Education 111 to include diverse learners, create a safe learning environment for everyone, and communicate effectively with students.

As the course develops, you will be reflecting on the topics presented in the This We Believe: Keys to Educating Young Adolescents textbook. Student reflections should include elaboration on your understanding of the topic, suggestions for applying the concept in middle school environment, and/or discussion of foreseen issues or problems if concepts are implemented in your classroom or school. Discussion questions are designed to prompt your thinking; the questions have no “right” answer but your thoughts must be well communicated to the reader and professionally spoken.
