Transitions to High School Math and Science Middle School Teachers Seek to More Fully Understand High School Expectations Meg Draeger, CJ STEMM coordinator, January 13, 2010
On Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 16 math and science teachers from nine area Catholic elementary schools convened at CJ for an informational networking session with CJ STEMM Coordinator, CJ Admissions Coordinator, Math and Science faculty, and Guidance Director. The session’s objective was to inform the teachers about the academic level options at CJ, and math and science course sequences, and to discuss the preparedness of incoming ninth grade students to CJ.
The criteria for placing students in the Advanced Placement and Honors, College Prep, and General levels was explained, and the relevance of standardized test scores, teacher recommendations, and past performance. In order to best prepare students for high school level math and science courses, students need to have a solid foundation and be proficient with basic skills, such as mental math, multiplication facts, and fractions. To be successful in science courses, students in the middle grades should have multiple hands-on inquiry lab sessions, including extensive microscope use.
A student’s ability to use various computer technology and software applications, specifically Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, is integral to success in all high school coursework. CJ’s freshman Computer Skills Competency requirement tests and ensures that ability.
CJ STEMM Coordinator Meg Draeger shared numerous teaching resources available from national organizations, and suggested teachers also tap local providers such as the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Educational Outreach Office, and the Dayton Regional STEM Center.
Opportunities for CJ current and prospective students, and resources for educators, can be found on the CJ STEMM Web page.
