Shakopee New Learning Model Analysis

Choosing an academy major somewhat entails much thought and thoughtfulness. Nevertheless, it is the first thing toward developing a foundation that you will continue to shape on for the remainder of one’s life. Some people, before getting to college know exactly what they want to study (major). But wait, If I may ask, was critical thinking involved in choosing this major? There are thousands of majors out there to choose from and it doesn’t matter what you are majoring in. The most important aspect of choosing any major is looking beyond what people around you are majoring in, weigh your ability to perform in the chosen major, then ask self-questions like, what are the opportunities that await me? How will my major benefit me, people around me, and the society at large? Do I have the potential needed to climb to the top of my career in this major? Do I have financial resources? These and many more self-questions will help in thinking deeply before choosing the major you’re about to choose.

The dual enrollment program provides high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. This program is beneficial in three main ways. The first way is that it provides the opportunity for students to save money. Students can take college classes at no cost, including the books they need. Secondly, students have the ability to graduate high school with their Associate of Arts degree. This will save students two years of college that they otherwise would have had to pay for if they hadn’t taken the classes through the dual enrollment program. Lastly, students who earn college credits through dual enrollment will earn a higher chance of acceptance to universities. Overall, dual enrollment is nothing but beneficial for high school students. Students should take advantage of their opportunity to be in this program. It will save them time, money, and give them a higher chance of acceptance into their university of choice.

Some students may find asking themselves what they like or what interests them will help determine their majors and way of degree. Others learn that college is not their thing. They do not go or just shoot for the 2 years of schooling for just an

Another major influence on me joining is how the students act and are treated. First of all the maturity level at a normal highschool would be set pretty low. That's why I would rather go somewhere, where that that level is set high so they can give me a chance with so much responsibility. I think every teenager, like myself, enjoys the freedom of wearing normal clothes, being able to walk around campus, and having so many ways to connect and communicate with teachers. I know I do, I enjoy knowing that we're trusted and are able to take on responsibility many high school students don't

The faculty developed a system of support to advocate the academic and personal success for each student by utilizing the academy theme. The incoming freshman has a personal transition plan, which sets the foundation for their high school career. The personal transition plan also enable students to develop passion and deepen their purpose for life. To increase college and career readiness for economically disadvantaged and underrepresented students, the Early College program is an example of tweaking the personalized learning pathway to change the trajectory of the

For many people in eighth grade, their college and career paths are uncertain. As for me, my college and career is already mapped out. I already know that I want to have in computer sciences, and I already know that I will be successful if I were in one of Kingsway’s academies. The field that I want to get into, computer sciences, could fall into both, the STEM and BLA, academies. Computer sciences could fall under the “Technology” or “Engineering” part of the STEM program. It could also fall under BLA because of its focus on technology and problem solving. In addition to my educational field, the academies will help me achieve my goal of becoming something similar to a computer systems analyst. Both of the academies could help me work on

Arguably some students aren’t ready and can’t handle the stress of college straight out of high school. Maybe it’s the thought of financial debt or not being educationally up to the task. Whatever it may be students should not be pushed into something they aren’t comfortable with . This will negatively affect their learning and experience all together. It’s almost like pushing a baby bird out of its nest before they’re ready to fly.

When you have the ability to choose your own electives, it usually makes children eager to participate in classroom activities and just normal, slow pace class work. Kid’s will get motivated to come, engage in schoolwork, and enjoy a day at school, because they will be thinking about the two classes they choose to take themself. “Electives are classes that are not required…. Isabella Colins from Choosing Your Own Electives says… (https://prezi.com/sibkpetv2rfa/choosing-your-own-electivess/ ), Students should choose their own electives for three reasons. Reason number one is because it will better prepare students for college and high school. Another reason, is because students will be able to choose electives, that

as stated by APECSEC, “since academies often attract the best and brightest children, his leads to much higher test scores. If parents wish to give their child a leg up on the competition for college enrollment would do well to enroll their child in a magnet school.” But as stated previously that the only reason that they score higher test scores is caused by the academy has a deeper curriculum. This explains why they hold greater test scores since they are focusing a greater narrow path, not a broad path like public classes, which gives them a basic understanding in most topics, so they have the opportunity to get their hands on a fall back when they are older if something doesn't work out. When they apply to be accepted into a college and/or work they individual would be obligated. A few students that enroll in a magnet institute may decide to change their original idea. This is the result of boarding academies being too narrow for each class that if they do need to learn more about broader subjects than they need to would have a bit trouble knowing about it. Since there are public institutions that gives them the ability to learn about wide-ranging subjects that offers them the experience to go further in depth about other

When I first entered high school, I chose the Imagine-It academy, which is apart of Venture Academy, because it was known for its art and technology. That year was when I learned I had social anxiety and wasn’t just shy. I had a hard time going to school and talking to the teachers, as well as the students. My immune system was starting to get affected by the stress, to the point where I would miss a few days to a week at a time just from being sick. I switched schools my sophomore year, to a school I where I was more comfortable and had a better chance of getting classes that would help get me ready for college. I gained

If students feel that a four-year university right out of high school isn’t what is best for them than the benefits of the university will do them more harm than good even if it is what is best for another student. Every student is different and life will prevail

Having the ability to choose an elective at a young age can actually help the students in the future! For example, if a student is into photography, and they choose that as an elective, it’s very likely that it's going to become their career job. Studies show that it’s common to get a major, or even a degree from a student's elective from the

Most seniors are told by their parents or guidance counselor to go to college because “it's the right thing to do.” An essay written by Caroline Bird “College is a Waste of Time and Money”, she mentioned that students go to college because their mother wants them to or because of a reason completely irrelevant to the course of studies in which college is supposed to be organized. The student may have a different idea of what she or he wants to do with their life, but because they believe that their mentors know what is best for them, they will probably end up being in a field they don't want to be in, which could result in them being resentful and miserable.

SHAD’s goal is a lofty one: trying to create a program that is both an educational institute and a summer camp. If I am accepted, I believe my responsible, innovative, and amiable personality will help to achieve that goal, and lead to a better experience for everyone

Many people say to high school students that you begin your career now. High school is where it “starts to count”, and it is crucial that students start by learning all the basics and learning to be a productive citizen. Along with being prolific student in their normal high school classes, there are many other opportunities for them to thrive later in life. With these opportunities comes a lot of responsibility and hard work. A great example would be the Ag Academy. This high school program requires a great amount of dedication and determination, but the reward is way greater than any challenge that it may present. The Ag Academy is an excellent learning opportunity that presents many advantages, such as being dual enrolled, learning successful life skills, and offering a great learning environment.
