Help me give my students a hydroponic growing system, volleyballs, a fish tank, and other supplies needed for rich experiences outside of the classroom! After school clubs provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and find their passions.
We live in an ever-changing, increasingly global society. As our world evolves, so do the skills needed to thrive professionally and personally. This means the abilities students develop in high school should align with the demands of modern careers, especially in fields like STEM and healthcare.
Twenty-first century skills are interdisciplinary and go beyond academic knowledge to include cognitive, social, and emotional proficiencies.
Mastering these skills helps prepare students for college, their future career, and everything in between!
Real-world critical thinking is essential. The ability to critically analyze information, question assumptions, interpret data, and overcome challenges is hugely valuable. Young people must learn to think creatively to generate innovative solutions to complex problems.
In our Butterfly and Gardening club, we address real world problems in our surrounding community. We learn sustainable practices and how to protect our environment. Students then educate the community, providing opportunities for positive change.
Today’s world requires connecting with diverse groups of people and the ability to adaptively see and respond to different perspectives. Teens need to practice clearly articulating ideas through writing, speaking, listening, and thoughtfully responding. They should discuss issues from different points of view and be able to rationalize conflicting perspectives.
Our volleyball team members learn life skills through team sports. They learn how to work with one another and how to control their emotions. In turn, they develop skills for self-management and inner strength. This provides them with success in all areas of their lives.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
