At Highland Park, we spend a great deal of time on Character Education and building the self-esteem of students. This video focused on students that have worked hard this year and was rewarded during the third quarter awards assembly. All of the students showed marked improvements in various academic areas. In addition, students recite the school affirmation daily and the school song is sung at every event. The second video was completed with sixth grade students as a part of an assignment where they had to identify a career that they wanted to pursue in the future. Students had to research the career on college board.com and write an essay on why they chose a particular career and the qualifications/ education needed to be successful in the career. This was the best project of all. Students enjoyed seeing pictures of themselves and their classmates. This was just a small reward for all of the students that worked hard to maintain or increase their grade point average. As for the sixth graders, they had an opportunity think about their future and what it will take for them to be successful. As an educator, these photo stories will serve as an archive of how students can achieve what they believe if their work hard and do their best and that there are students that want to be in careers other than music and sports.
