How does high school differ from middle school? • Non-attendance impacts grades significantly • Treated as a young adult responsible for actions and decisions • The teacher/student relationship is a partnership. Need to talk to • your teachers • Less drama and fewer rumors. Fighting and “drama” are • considered immature • TRANSITION: FREEDOM, OPPORTUNITY, SELF-RESPECT
Freedom More independence Choosing classes Choosing career path Personal choices – peers, work habits, activities Special events, Dances
Opportunity Clubs Sports Activities Honors & AP classes Tech Prep classes Running Start Jobs
Self-Respect Good choices can lead to respect . . . of peers of family of community . . .diploma/graduation, honors, awards, work, monetary rewards, feeling of accomplishment, self-confidence, resilience
Advice from Counselors: Take the most rigorous classes you can (family access) Maintain highest grades possible (transcript) Get involved Develop clear goals for your future Begin networking with your teachers, counselor, coaches, etc. Stay organized—use planners and calendars Learn to be resilient
What can you do to prepare for high school NOW? Attend school every day (absences hugely affect grades) Practice taking notes in core classes—science, math, social studies Complete every assignment and turn in on due date Ask your teacher for help, increase your class participation Study over time for a test rather than cramming Improve your ability to memorize, summarize, and integrate knowledge
