Exam focus
Hi, Kate! You mentioned as a learning direction a high school exit test. Alice had mentioned a common entrance exam. The materials neccessary for these types of assessments would be good tools. I had thought about us helping the students who are more likely to go to the University of Guyana head in that direction. Good ideas. (:

Hi Everyone,
I like the discussions so far. I am trying to get a bit more focused on exactly what cultural experiences are going to be exchanged. I know I will gain a lot, but I want to be as productive and beneficial to our group as possible. So I suppose my question is - is it appropriate to start to create/gather/collaborate all the resources we will be using all summer (I have lots of girly movies!) or Alice - do you have specific things you would like to cover or generally what has been discussed so far? Can we start "collaborating with the group members to define a compelling mission"? (that was your response to Maia's post) I think it's important for the students we're working with (women especially) to realize the everyday application of their education. I know many good team building and leadership, self-worth training activities from my time at camp. As well, I have a handle on some media programs, digital cameras and recording devices and hopefully I will be able to bring along some resources to share. Do you have any there already, other than the computers? Also, I think the women's self-efficacy promotion/education would greatly benefit the male 'together we FLY' students as well.
I was wondering if there is a site or if anyone has the "curriculum" or what are the students taught in the school? Also, how do I find what the requirements are for the high school exit test? This would be great to know so we could possibly direct the learning process to fit with the contexts that have been learning in so far.
Google Sketch-Up is a great program and I was going to suggest that if you had an alternative program!
Hope you're all doing well and I'm getting excited for the summer - take care!
