Interviewing for Life
Three evening interviewing skills training sessions covering college and job interviewing will be offered to seniors and juniors. The program will also include and in-school breakfast with invited members of the community who will “interview” the students and conduct small group discussions in their career fields of interest.
SAT De-Stress
These evenings sessions will be offered to students shortly before taking their SAT exam to help them “de-stress” by understanding test-taking strategies such as timing, pacing, types of questions, and standard instructions.
Calculator-Based Learning in the Biological Sciences
This grant also enhances an initial grant awarded last year by providing more calculator-based labs and probes so that all high school science students can quickly measure and analyze real-time biological data while working in small groups in their classrooms or in the field.
Using Probes to Facilitate Inquiry-Based Physics
This grant enhances a grant awarded last year by the NPEF by providing new probes for physics students at all levels so that they may work in small groups to analyze motion, force, light, acceleration, temperature, magnetic pull voltage, and current.
College Information Nights
The High School Guidance Department will offer three evening programs to juniors, seniors, and their parents to further inform them of the college application, admission and financial aid application processes.
