Upcoming events include a whole school educational rally to promote and foster college-going support, summer employment training, and visits to a college fair.
ACADEMICS WITH ATTITUDE (AWA)
The AWA program staff and faculty implemented the accelerated curriculum model that AWA Faculty and Staff Learning Community planned during the 2012-2013 academic year for math and reading/writing. The model has one English faculty member teaching both the reading and writing sections of the same group.
Living-Learning Community programmatic support for the academic curriculum and the fostering of positive academic attitude was planned and implemented by Mr. G. Maurice White, the AWA Living-Learning Coordinator. Living-Learning Assistants worked and lived in the dorms with AWA students in the summer and worked with Housing and Housekeeping to encourage students to coexist and learn in a community. Each Q-group was supervised by a Living-Learning Assistant and every student was required to attend scheduled living-learning community activities two evenings per week and on the weekend.
