What is the difference between Live, self-paced and hybrid classes?

 

• The live classes give your student the opportunity to interact with other students their age from around the world! We will have about 60 classes together where we will learn, collaborate, and explore science topics. Self-paced classes are completely asynchronous. You will recieve the workbook, activities, and labs for you to do as your schedule permits. The hybrid option gives you the opportunity to work through it as you please, but also you can post lab results, communicate with other students from around the globe in our discussion forums, and get all of your grading/questions answered in real time by your instructor! You can also join the live classes once a semester for any class you would like! (Class schedules will be posted so you can decide which one you would like to attend.)

 

Is everything in the classes required for me to do?

 

• NO! Research shows that excellence is created through the inward passion of learning a topic. So classes are designed for students to be able to have a great foundation of exploration for each unit. They can watch additional videos, read books from our Ultimate Book List that pertain to that particular subject, or have kid friendly websites that they can explore for more information (with your supervision and permission of course). Tests, writing opportunities, additional labs and activities as well as related topics are also included and they can be used as much or as little as you and your student would like. 

 

What leadership roles will this course prepare me for?

 

• Excellence in Leadership is designed to prepare students for a variety of leadership roles across different settings. By completing this course, students will be well-equipped to take on positions such as school club officers, team captains, community project leaders, and peer mentors. Additionally, the skills learned will also serve students well in future academic and career pursuits, preparing them for leadership roles in college and professional environments.

 

Are there any group projects involved?

 

• Yes, group projects are a fundamental part of this course. These projects are designed to mimic real-world leadership scenarios and challenges, providing students with hands-on experience in managing teams, delegating tasks, and leading projects to successful completion. Group projects also offer a valuable opportunity for peer collaboration, allowing students to practice communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills in a supportive environment.

 

How will this course help me in college and beyond?

 

• Excellence in Leadership provides a robust foundation in advanced leadership techniques and strategies that are critical for success in college and beyond. The course enhances critical thinking, public speaking, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making skills. For college-bound students, these skills are invaluable in managing academic projects, leading student organizations, and succeeding in internships. Professionally, the leadership abilities honed in this course will distinguish students in the job market, enabling them to assume managerial roles and leadership positions early in their careers.

We will be taking the Clifton StrengthsFinder Test and discussing our strengths and how to apply them in our studies as well as in our personal and professional life. More information and purchasing directions will be sent once you have signed up.
