The BASIC Fund Dando una opción a los padres. Dando una oportunidad a los niños. FOLLETO DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA ¡El primer paso hacia la Universidad! 2 Estimada familia de BASIC Fund: Estamos contentos que BASIC Fund ha sido una parte de su experiencia educativa a través los grados K al 8vo. Queremos asegurarnos que aproveche su base educativa mientras seleccione la escuela secundaria que le ofrezca la mejor opción para usted. Esperamos que este folleto sea una herramienta para usted mientras embarque en la próxima importante fase: la escuela secundaria. İLe deseamos todo lo mejor! Atentamente, Rachel Elginsmith "Inteligencia más carácter — eso es el objetivo de la verdadera educación." -Martin Luther King, Jr. 3 La transición de la escuela privada elementaría a la escuela secundaria — ya sea pública o privada — es un cambio significativo y emocionante. Como todas las transiciones, se mezcla con una combinación de preparación, entusiasmo e incluso un poco de aprensión. La fundación ha sido puesta y ha sembrado las semillas. Sus años de escuela secundaria serán unos de construir sobre esa fundación y florecer en el joven adulto que comienza a pensar en los próximos pasos en términos de la universidad y una carrera. Lo siguiente es una guía de cómo, dónde y que esperar mientras aplica a las escuelas secundarias. Incluye información para escuelas Privadas, Charter y Publicas. Le sugerimos que lea a través de cada sección cuidadosamente.

Discútelo con su familia y con gente de confianza. Entonces decida cuáles son sus prioridades y busque una escuela que las satisface. Cinco factores importantes que se deben tener en cuenta al elegir una escuela son: académica, valores, disciplina, ubicación y características especiales. Le ofrecemos la siguiente lista de preguntas para que evalúe diferentes escuelas secundarias. Recuerde que sólo usted y su familia pueden decidir la respuesta correcta a estas preguntas y determinar qué preguntas son más importantes. Académica • ¿Qué avanzada son las clases? ¿Seré retado intelectualmente? ¿Cuánto "recuperación" voy a tener que hacer (si es necesario)? ¿Existen diferentes niveles disponibles para ciertos temas dentro del mismo grado? • ¿Cuánta tarea asignan los maestros? ¿Cómo los maestros mantienen a los estudiantes responsables de completar sus deberes? • ¿Qué métodos de enseñanza destacan en esta escuela? ¿Los estudiantes pasan mucho tiempo haciendo actividades prácticas? ¿La escuela da énfasis a habilidades básicas? ¿Hay más énfasis en el aprendizaje de grupo o el logro individual? ¿Los métodos de enseñanza son apropiada para la edad? ¿Qué tipo de tecnología utilizan? 5 • ¿Cómo es el ambiente de las aulas? ¿Los maestros son agradables e interesante? ¿Los maestros son calificados para enseñar su tema? ¿Los estudiantes parecen deseosos de aprender? ¿Parecen disfrutar de sus clases y apreciar sus maestros? ¿El aula parece ser un lugar agradable para que su hijo pase varias horas al día? • ¿Qué importante son los grados? ¿Qué difícil es el sistema de calificación? ¿La escuela utiliza letras como grados? ¿El esfuerzo es factorizado en grados, evaluado separado o no es representado en el reporte de calificaciones?

Escuelas Independientes: Un tipo de escuela privada con ninguna afiliación religiosa. Escuelas Parroquiales: Un tipo de escuela privada que está asociada a una determinada iglesia o parroquia.

  • Project Description
    PROJECT DESCRIPTION < ORACLE EDUCATIONAL FACITITY, REDWOOD CITY, CA Formal Planning Submittal – 9.11.2015 Oracle Education Foundation – Proposed Public High School PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed project will be a partnership between Oracle, Oracle Education Foundation, and Design Tech High School. Oracle Oracle is a Fortune 100 corporation headquartered in Redwood Shores. Oracle engineers hardware and software to work together in the cloud and in your data center. Oracle Education Foundation Oracle Education Foundation (OEF) is a nonprofit organization funded by Oracle. It is a private foundation as defined in IRC Section 509(a). It engages Oracle employees as volunteer instructors, coaching high school students in multiday projects at the intersection of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM) disciplines. All OEF projects combine skill building with design challenges. Students learn coding and electrical engineering, and then apply these skills to problem solving. The problem-solving approach is Design Thinking, which promotes empathy with the user, creativity in generating solutions, the value of failure as necessary to learning and innovation, and rationality in fitting solutions to the context of the problem. OEF projects are fun and teach creative confidence, as well as persistence, resiliency, and grit. Many projects are designed to demystify the basic science underlying today's technologies and tomorrow's innovations. They use open hardware to introduce students to the most fundamental building blocks of engineering and show that technology is not magic—it’s accessible science that students can learn and use to author amazing, previously unimagined solutions. While inclusive, OEF's program pays particular attention to girls and other populations historically under-represented in STEAM careers.
