Secondary school

(Polk, Johnston, Evers, 2015, p.92). It can give a wealth of information easily to anyone who wishes to learn about a topic. However, concerns have risen about its use in research for schools. In the article “Wikipedia Use in Research: Perceptions in Secondary Schools” by Tracy Polk of Worcester Preparatory School, Melissa Johnston of the University of Alabama, and Stephanie Evers of the University of South Alabama, researches the way teachers, librarians, and library staff perceive Wikipedia…

speech that I was listening to was written by a student called William Chiu, who graduated from Hasley Junior High School in 2012. The reason why I found this speech inspirational to me due to how reassuring it is for students (even outside of middle school) that are transitioning from one destination to another. In my case, I will be transitioning from high school to post-secondary education. The first part of the speech that felt influential is when William told his audience not to be fearful…

Something that I never expected on the first day of school, was the young teacher, who is really honest about things, saying that we would start the school year with learning…

need conscience data that will inform our decision process. I currently sit on the SRBI team at Westside Middle School and one of the greatest disconnects we have noticed is that teachers are not always connecting their daily lesson planning to SRBI. Let’s say, hypothetically I was appointed as a central office administrator and charged with improving the SRBI process at the secondary level. There would be several steps I should take to ensure fidelity of implementation. Initiating a new…

that you need for your major, because they were full? So what are you going to do if this is happening to you every semester? You don’t have to worry about that anymore-I have all the information that you need to know. After graduating from high school, college opens a gate for a lot of new opportunities. Students choose to join a community college over a traditional 4-year under graduate college due to various reasons. It is a fact that 29 percent of the University of California and 51…

Majority students are asked “What do you want to do after high school?” Most do not know, some are on the fence, but majority students know what their plans are and that’s to go to college. Students dream of going to big prestige colleges or colleges right in town. When students apply and get the golden acceptance letter, their dreams and hopes have come to reality and the world stop. Excitement runs through and everything seems amazing until, the price to attend is shown. Students start to…

offer significant information involving the clubs, sports, organizations, and services offered to all the students on campus. As a result, the rate of student involvement is particularly low. Different solutions can be implemented, such as more high school visits or student involvement requirements. Another solution can be that at every orientation, a separate sector of the meeting should focus on a presentation exclusively on student involvement. Student involvement is one of the main keys to…

world without community colleges. When I was in high school I was a fairly good student with good grades but I am a horrible test taker. So anything like a Benchmark, STARR, or TAKS was a nightmare for me. Eventually those tests brought my average down and I wasn’t able to go straight to a university so I had to apply to a community college. So that’s one factor as to why community colleges are so important to millions of people who want to go to school. Another factor would be money. Let’s say…

Getting a degree and going to college had always seemed like a distant and far away dream for me ever since I was young. It was intimidating for me to think that someday I would step for the first time into a college classroom and begin something that I thought was so far away. However, I knew that taking that one step into the classroom would not only begin a long and hard journey in my life but that it would also change my life forever. Growing as a Learner One of the main reasons that I have…

notes on. Test taking is made easier when you use common sense or prior knowledge to answer the question without having to second guess yourself. Over the years I have went back and forth about what I want to do after college or even after high-school. As graduation draws nearer I have decide on a…
