Intensive classes are scheduled quarterly in which students study one subject all day for 2-3 weeks, experiential learning, service learning, Socratic seminar, individual student challenges, and other options create a learning environment that individualizes instruction for all students. Kathy Dehart, Brian Johnson, Daniel McComas, Jennifer Putnam and Erica Searle shared their school experiences describing skills they are learning in organization, money management, transportation, and other areas. The students presented themselves in a professional manner and were well organized. The presentation was a 'real world' exhibit of the skills they have learned in secondary school and a learning experience for all who attended. Thank you Derek, Kathy, Brian, Daniel, Jennifer and Erica for sharing your educational experience with educators attending the conference.
Secondary students have a lot to teach their teachers and others.
As educators, we must take the time to listen.
