Celebrating Excellence : A Unique Earn and Learn Experience for JSAMS Students
At Jersey Shore , we are proud to cultivate an environment where hard work , dedication , and positive behaviors are celebrated . This year , the schoolwide incentives team of teachers and administrators collaborated on an idea to recognize students for going above and beyond each marking period . Recognizing the nominated students reflects their commitment to excellence , not just in academics , but in how they embody the Bulldog Nation ' s values - effort , responsibility , respect , and integrity .
In partnership with our Career and Technical Education ( CTE ) department , the Earn and Learn incentive provides students an incredible opportunity to engage directly with the high school ' s career pathways . Teachers selected students to have the opportunity to see the various career programs offered at the senior school and also engage with the students that are currently enrolled in these pathways . This unique opportunity provided a hands-on learning experience that helped current students discover potential career interests and gain valuable insight into the skills needed to succeed in different fields .
In November , students nominated from the middle school participated in the following CTE programs : Culinary Arts , Computer Systems Networking , and Communications Technology . Students worked one-onone with a high school student who is currently in one of the programs . With the guidance of instructors , high school students allowed our middle school students to fully engage with the materials and routines they follow daily within each CTE program . Within the culinary arts , students prepared , cooked , and enjoyed a homemade strawberry shortcake . Computer Systems Networking guided students on the ins and outs of computers , along with preparing for a LAN party . Lastly , the middle school students in the Communications Technology class learned proper photography techniques and utilized graphic design for creating their own t-shirts !
Jersey Shore ' s mission is to prepare students for academic success and life beyond school . Opportunities like Earn and Learn empower students to make informed decisions about their future careers , while also reflecting on their behaviors and leadership within the school . Moreover , this experience emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication . By exceeding the Habits of a Bulldog Nation expectations , students demonstrated that they are ready to explore new learning opportunities and foster a deeper connection between middle and high school , allowing them to explore their future . - by Erin Bonsell , JSAMS Assistant Principal
