阀杆

什么是阀杆?

阀杆 is an acronym for Science, 技术, 工程, and 数学ematics.  It is an approach to teaching in which students become innovators, 通过设计解决现实世界的问题.  学生们努力创造解决方案, 他们获得所有学科的技能和知识, and also learn effective collaboration and critical thinking skills.

在这些领域,女性都可以找到工作.  Visitation Academy is committed to preparing our girls for paths that lead to success, 独立, 自信——无论是现在还是未来.

巴黎人平台登陆为学生的成就感到骄傲.  中部各州的支持 卓越协议包括探视 阀杆/建造计算机和编写程序的女孩公羊.  All of the data we have collected on our graduates shows that our students have gone on to excel in Science and 数学 Classes in High School.  Our students consistently score at and above proficiency on the NYS Science Test.  This year Visitation offers 2 Regents in Science – Living Environment and Earth Science.  Our 8th grades students are also taking the High School Algebra 1 Regents.

认证评估

Visitation Academy is committed to advancing excellence and has been accredited as a Middle States Program of Sustaining Excellence.  Sustaining Excellence award recognizes high-achieving 学校s for their ongoing accomplishments in all areas.

巴黎人平台登陆的使命指导下,巴黎人平台登陆的学生在一个支持, challenging environment where they can learn to be citizens of a culturally diverse world, we would research what common strategies are used by teachers to develop understanding and respect of cultural and other differences? 与此同时,巴黎人平台登陆想让巴黎人平台登陆的学生为未来做好准备.  “越来越, 商业领袖, 教育工作者, 行业专家, 还有一些人则团结在科学的重要性周围, 技术, 工程, 教育中的数学(阀杆). This is a key issue for K-12 education and it’s a requirement to create the kind of workforce our country needs. The Obama administration has clearly focused on this as a major education initiative and a business imperative.”(US News and World Report) We ask what affect will a co-curricular rubric based 阀杆 Program for elementary and middle 学校 students have on their readiness and performance at the secondary level in 阀杆 related math and science courses? 此外,将“艺术”课程与科学相结合, 技术, 工程 and math courses enhance student awareness and appreciation for the inter dependency of these themes as suggested by the NSF and the NEA and what impact does it have overall on student performance?

访问已经超过了巴黎人平台登陆最初行动计划的目标.  Our students are taking 3 high 学校 regents – Algebra 1, Earth Science and Environmental Science


原行动计划:

1. Students in 7th grade will take a NYS 9th grade Regents exam and receive a passing grade.

Development of a high 学校 curriculum to be used in our middle 学校.

2. Follow guidelines from Middle States on 阀杆 学校 of distinction

All 4th graders will continue to excel in the NYS Science Assessment at Level 3 and 4

85% of 8th grade students will continue to excel in the NYS Science Assessment at Level 3 and 4

Students will enroll in advanced math courses in Fontbonne Hall High School

Students will receive a passing grade in Fontbonne Hall High School Science Classes

细胞城计划

基本问题: 细胞和城市有什么相似之处?

Floating around in the cytoplasm of a cell are small structures called organelles. 比如自己身体里的器官, each one carries out a specific function necessary for the cell to survive. 为了生存, 细胞必须能够与周围环境相互作用, 使用能源, 生产材料和管理废物.

You will create a poster that compares a living plant cell and its organelles to a city, 学校, 工厂, 球场, 等. The place you choose must 使用能源, produce substances and manage waste. The organelles will represent the parts of your place that carry out these processes.

Using 技术 for a science research, rubric based project – including bibliography.

任务: Researched a volcanos history including geographical coordinates for location. 使用清单和指南来集中研究. Created an original Power Point presentation and either a 3-dimensional model or poster.  课程大纲和指南可在课程网站上找到.
