Serra Students' Work Featured at the Museum of Photograhic Arts
|
|
|
In the Spring of 2017 Serra High Students from Michael Pedersen’s photography class entered a photo contest for the Museum of Photographic Arts. The contest was open to K-12 students in Tijuana and San Diego county. Four students were selected by a panel of photographers and the curator of the museum to exhibit their photographic art in the Museum from November to February. Not only did they select our students to exhibit but one of the student’s work is used as the main image for the entire exhibition on the MOPA website and on the large signs around Balboa Park promoting the exhibit. The students loved attending the exclusive opening night with their families.

Bridging the Gap Between Education and Employment
|
|
|
The Education to Employment (E2E) Lab is a new space at Kearny High School that helps bridge the gap between education and employment through hands-on learning connected to the world of work. This week it was in full swing, as 11th grade students took an inventory to better understand their strengths while another group planned for an upcoming Intro to Project Based Learning experience for the freshman students that began on 9/25.

Project Based Learning Institute 2017 + PBL Scholars
|
|
|
This summer over 80 secondary school teachers from across the district met for two weeks to design interdisciplinary projects for the 2017-2018 school year. Participants engaged in professional development around Design Thinking on the Midway Museum, worked alongside nine “PBL Scholars” (10-12th grade student interns trained in PBL pedagogy), attended job shadow opportunities organized through CCTE, ConnectED, and The San Diego County Office of Education, prototyped projects at Kearny High’s Education-to-Employment Incubation Lab, and proudly presented their projects during a gallery walk to Dr. McQuary, San Diego Unified Board Member, site administration teams, and staff from the Office of Secondary Schools. Stay tuned for updates as teams launch their projects with students.

Tips on How To Study Effectively
|
|
|
Build good study habits to create success!
- Create a quiet space to study (reduce loud music and TV)
- Study at specific times each week
- Reward yourself after each study segment (short break, food, walks, music)
- Use a calendar
- Have a positive attitude
- Be an active learner and ask questions
- Develop good study techniques (create associations and metaphors to relate new ideas to what you already know and to improve understanding)
Be careful with these major problem areas:
- Procrastination
- Get started quickly. Read the instructions. Use a schedule.
- Concentration
- Reduce or remove external distractions. Study with others or see a tutor.
- Boredom
- Plan to work shorter periods. Switch subject matter more often. Vocalize, visualize and symbolize.

How Can I Help My Student Succeed?
|
|
|
- Help your child with homework and meet with teachers and counselors to discuss coursework that will prepare your child for college.
- Talk to your children about careers that interest them and what college they would like to attend.
- Research financial aid and Cal Grants.
- Schedule a teacher/parent conference if you have concerns about your child’s academics.
- Familiarize yourself with the services offered at your child’s school such as tutoring and other resources.
- Consider opening a college savings account. There are many benefits, and you can start an account for as little as $25. To learn more, go to ScholarShare.
- Contact the CSU campuses you are interested in to schedule a tour and get information about programs, admission requirements and financial aid.

UCSD Launches the Anita Borg Leadership and Engagement (ABLE) Program for High School Students!
It is an innovative new mentoring program for grades 10-12 interested in computer science and engineering.
ABLE will begin its pilot year with a kick-off luncheon scheduled for November 18, 2017. This inaugural event will be followed by a series of planned events, all with a focus on computer science and engineering and how these two fields play an important role in our daily lives and in the technology-driven world around us.
Students joining the program this year will be automatically accepted into the program and will have the opportunity to stay involved with ABLE through their high school graduation.
In 2018, the program will revert to an application process for 10th grade students only. Students will be accepted based on information presented in their application. ABLE is loosely based on the Fleet Science Center’s middle school-focused BE WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering) program.
Event Date: November 18, 2017 -11:30 AM - 1:30 PM |
