    Marshall Metro High School Case Study

    Marshall Metro High School, one of 1,247 failing schools nationwide that received federal funding to improve, is trying to find ways to improve attendance and standardized test scores (Banchero, 2011, as cited in Kinicki & Williams, 2013). To improve attendance employees at Marshall Metro High School had begun to call students who did not show up on a regular basis, but eventually noticed it was not producing their expected outcome since most of them never even showed up after being called (Banchero, 2011, as cited in Kinicki & Williams, 2013). Marshall Metro High School employees tried a new approach by calling students who were tardy or absent often as early as 6:30 a.m., this proved to be successful since most of the students that were called…

    Why I Want to Join the Honors Program

    Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, once said, “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you.

    AU Honors Program: Unlocking The Key To Happiness

    The course that I would propose for the AU Honors Program would be ‘Unlocking the Key to Happiness’. Being happy is something that has always fascinating me, and I think it is essential for living a good life; therefore, a course like this would not only be enlightening and fascinating, but useful. The questions that the course would ask would be how do we become truly happy, what are some obstacles in the way of happiness, how do we overcome those obstacles, and is happiness our purpose in life, or is it something else? Since this is a broad topic, the different disciplines that I would pull from the faculty would be neuroscience (natural and applied sciences), economics and psychology (social sciences), and philosophy (humanities/arts). Neuroscience…

    The American Honors Program can help me achieve my goal of becoming a physician by giving me the tools and resources necessary to have a challenging and fulfilling community college experience and assisting me with transferring to a four-year college or university that has a respected pre-med program. Attending Ivy Tech as an American Honors student will also provide me with the critical thinking skills necessary to do well after I transfer as well as farther down the road as I continue my studies.

    Socioeconomic Status In High School

    The biggest factor that divided me from my classmates in high school was my family’s socioeconomic status. I come from a divorced family and both of my parents are remarried. My dad owns his own business, so he tends to have a large income. My mom is a sales manager at Aflac. In this job, she gets commission off of her sales and her team’s sales. My mother is a very good saleswoman, so she tends to do pretty well financially. I first noticed this in middle school. I had the newest phone most of the time, I was traveling places, and I was able to have the money to go and do different activities. At this time, I was bringing my friends up to the river with us to spend the weekend boating. Many of my friends had never been on a boat before. It was something completely new to them, but it seemed so rudimentary to me.…

    Gifted Education In America Essay

    The American education system was built, along with many other things, to the average standard. It was designed with the average student in mind, never really adapted towards those who grasps concepts quickly and accelerate at rapid rates beyond their peers. As gifted, or exceptionally intelligence children make up around 6 to 10 percent of the students within America, roughly 3 to 5 million (“Gifted Education in the U.S”). But as America is behind many Asian and European countries in the general education, which was firmly expressed in the most recent PISA test, it is bounds behind in gifted education (Chappell). Teachers aren’t equipped to challenge the gifted students, or simply have no time to spend developing and nurturing the child’s…
