Carlsbad High School Academy Program

Mission Statement To develop life skills through workshops and internship experience. Program Description The Academy program is a two-year educational experience for juniors and seniors. Students are accepted into the program midway through their junior year. Students will be advised about the benefits of the program and the application process through their history classes. Transfer students new to CHS as juniors or seniors may also apply. Students are accepted into the Academy program based upon their academic record, attendance record, and letters of recommendation. The general admission requirements are listed on page 3. Students are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout their last two years. Students whose grades drop below 3.0 will be put on probation and monitored each semester. Each student will select a staff advisor to help in preparing for the senior project. Each student will meet with an intern coordinator for advice and assistance in selecting an appropriate internship. Students will, through the last year and a half at Carlsbad High School, write resumes and cover letters, practice interviewing skills, and develop their writing and presentation abilities. As seniors, students are expected to enroll in either a ninety or one hundred eighty hour internship in a career area of their choice. The student will work with an intern coordinator, if needed, to find appropriate contacts for his/her internship. Together with the internship sponsor (the person at the job site) the student will determine his/her schedule and project. The intern coordinator will monitor the students progress. The culmination of the Academy experience is a senior project consisting of a research paper and senior presentation. The senior project is designed to use many of the skills students have learned in the four years at Carlsbad High School. These skills include a writing component, research, speaking, use of technology, and expertise in a given field. Others skills, such as the use of PowerPoint, presentation effectiveness, and use of visual aids, will be taught as optional workshops or by individual faculty advisors. These meetings will occur at lunch and after school. The internship and senior project are both requirements in order for the student to receive Academy recognition upon graduation.

Academy Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements Students should have an average grade point average of 3.0 or better for their freshman and sophomore year. Students should have completed by the end of their sophomore year the following: Algebra 1, English 2, at least one year each of science, foreign language, and PE, and World History. Once admitted to the Academy students will go through a second screening at the end of their junior year to determine if they qualify for an internship. They must complete all junior workshops, attend all required meetings, attend assigned senior presentation, and make initial intern contact. Attendance Because responsibility and punctuality are important in an individuals job, each students attendance record will be checked for excessive tardies and absences. Teacher Recommendations Students must have three teachers complete the Academy recommendation form. These letters will be confidential. It is here that teachers have the opportunity to recommend students in spite of deficiencies in grades and/or attendance.

Carlsbad High School Academy Internship Program Description for Sponsors

Carlsbad High School would like to invite your organization to participate in our internship program for seniors taking part in the Academy program. The Academy provides students with a more integrated, focused program of study in a professional career path with relevant experiences, shared expertise, and insights about the world of work. The program allows students the opportunity to grow beyond the simple, menial tasks typical of teenage work and into a more professional, career-related experience. Part of our goal is to have students experience the career environment of their choice. To this end we are placing them in internships with business people, scientists, artists, etc., in our community. As a culmination of their Academy experience, seniors present their internship project in the spring before a panel of teachers and community members. The internship program offers students:

professional experience in the field of their choice a chance to meet and work cooperatively with career professionals an opportunity to set goals and apply skills to meaningful career-related tasks career experience and possible letters of recommendation for job resumes and college

applications high school credit while gaining on-the-job experience an opportunity to develop academic and social skills necessary to compete in a 21st century

global economy After an initial breaking-in period, the intern should work with his/her sponsor to design an original project that will be mutually beneficial. The following are guidelines for you and the intern:

These are generally unpaid internships. This is a commitment of 90 hours over the course of the summer and/or 2 semesters. Students and sponsors decide upon the work schedule. Students keep a time log and journal to record their weekly progress. An Internship Coordinator will help monitor and evaluate the intern with the sponsors input. Parents and students must arrange transportation to off-campus sites.

requirements. A special cord to wear during graduation In order to receive Academy recognition at graduation, the student must have successfully completed the research paper, an internship, and a senior presentation.

Junior and Senior Year Curriculum Junior Year Activities During the junior year, Academy coordinators will meet with students to advise them on course of study and possibilities for internships. The following are the requirements for each junior Academy student:

During the spring semester, juniors will be required to attend workshops on resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, practice interviews, and making initial internship contact. Each student will undergo a mock interview with a local human resource specialist in preparation for his or her senior internship. The initial internship contact will help the student find his/her internship site.

Attend a conference which includes your parent(s)/guardian(s) and the Intern Coordinator to outline the program. Students are encouraged both to find their own internships and complete the internship during the summer as possible.

To acquaint the student with the senior project, it is recommended that each junior sit in on a senior presentation for the current year. Arrangements will be made by the Intern Coordinators to coordinate this effort.

Those juniors on probation will be expected to maintain or improve their GPAs and complete all forms and checks to ensure all Academy requirements are being met.

Juniors will be expected to submit a completed and signed internship contract by the end of the junior year. Students who have not submitted a completed and signed internship contract by the end of their junior year will be expected to enroll in six classes for the fall semester of their senior year in addition to their academy internship enrollment (the sixth class may be dropped upon submission of the internship contract); these juniors will be considered to be on probationary status until the internship contract is submitted.

Senior Year Activities

During the senior year, Academy interns will be expected to complete their internships, fulfill the research component of the program, and make their senior presentations. Without a valid, signed contract students will be dropped from the program two weeks into the fall semester. The following are the requirements for each senior Academy student:

Although ideally students should completely finish their internships during the summer before the fall semester of their senior year, seniors must complete at least 45 hours (or ) of their internship by the end of the first semester in January. In any case, the internship must be completed by the end of May in the senior year.

Seniors must attend all required meetings. Regardless of whether or not the internship is completed, students will be expected to turn in a

final draft of the research paper no later than the first week of January. This paper must include the Advisor Research Checklist (page 20).

All students will be assigned one day in March (an early release) for their senior project presentation.

Successful completion of both the research paper and senior presentation are required to pass this class.

CHS Academy Advisor Information Sheet CHS Academy Advisor Responsibilities

Without your willingness to donate your time and expertise, the Academy program could not exist. Rest assured, however, that you are NOT the students only source of help. Your support for the student supplements the work primarily completed by the Academy Internship Coordinator(s). Here, then, is what we ask of you as an advisor:

Assist with research and writing, as needed. Students are now completing what was formerly known as the alternate writing assignment. Specific information about this assignment is available in the Academy Notebook and in the locker of the Academy Internship SL webpage. Academy Internship students will submit a completed rough draft to you on 11/21 and a revised draft for evaluation on 12/19. Note: Students are being asked to submit a rough draft via turnitin.com to take their writing through a formal peer editing process.

Review the revised draft of the research essay before winter break. Once the research paper has been written, you will review the paper with the student so they can make any last minute edits before they submit the final draft in January.

Provide feedback to the Academy Coordinator. Just after winter break, I will send you a brief teacher survey via Google Forms to solicit your feedback about your students level of preparedness and the quality of the work completed.

Assist with presentation. Finally, you will be asked to review and critique your students final PowerPoint presentation in March. The final presentation is a major component of each students Academy experience, and any assistance you can offer your student to improve his/her presentation through a dress rehearsal will be of great benefit.

If you choose to serve as an Academy advisor, please provide your prep period to your student to submit to the Academy Coordinator(s) via a Google Form. We will confirm your participation at the beginning of October. More details will be provided at a scheduled meeting in early October. We will notify you of this meeting.
