Acceleration Academy Case Study

Decent Essays
Volunteers will be introduced to the curriculum at this time as well. A “review party” will be held at the beginning of the year to review students EOG scores from the following school year. Indentified students would then receive an invitation to attend an informational session to the Acceleration Academy. Once parents have agreed to allow their child to attend the academy and the parent volunteer hours the academy will start. Throughout the academy there will be a variety of parent nights to display the students work and to build relationships with the students’ parent or legal guardian. Students will fade out of the academy during different stages but at the end of the year a ceremony will be held for all the academy students.

    It is a great pleasure to recommend Rachel Sitasz for admission to the Edward Hospital Student Volunteer Program. She is one of the most empathetic, kind, and exceptional humans I have encountered in my 14 years of teaching. I teach Rachel in my 8th grade advanced ELA class. Her academics, character, innate curiosity, intrinsic motivation, ethical standards, and unwavering desire to give back, have put Rachel in a class of her own. In fact, for the first time in over 25+ years, the eighth-grade team created a brand new end-of-the-year award for our graduation awards assembly.…

    Being born to and raised by immigrant parents, I observed a daily desire to give me all that they didn’t have and provide pathways for me to follow my dreams. I gained a respect for hard work as well as an ideology of looking out for those around me. The sacrifices they took to send me to private school and ensure that I do well in life motivates me in my plans for the future. It is their inability to live their lives as they pleased and follow their dreams that inspires me to attend and graduate from an institution in which all those attending strive in their fields of study. Due to their dedication, I want to succeed in life and provide a better life for both myself and my family, allowing them to live the rest of their lives without worry, as well as making a difference in the world around me.…

    As I began this class in January my definition of curriculum was based on the academic coursework teachers use to instruct the information.
