Active Listening: Are You Hearing Me Or Listening?, Taylor Jones
Active Listening: Are You Hearing Me Or Listening?, Taylor Jones
Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative
Be able to determine the difference between hearing someone when being spoken to and actively listening to them
Do you ever talk with someone and realize they aren’t listening? Sure, they hear the words that leave your mouth but are not genuinely listening: they may not be present, texting, staring off into space, etc. If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation like this, on either side, you run the risk of making someone feel neglected and undervalued, and you could miss out on important information. Active listening requires attentiveness to the speaker so you, as the listener, can understand …

Healthy V Unhealthy Relationships Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative
Adolescents and young adults are going through their years of experiencing some of the most formative relationships and relationship experiences they will have in their life. It is important, therefore, that they be taught about healthy and unhealthy behaviors that can occur in relationships, that they gain knowledge in how to help someone in an unhealthy relationship, and that students understand the nuances of relationships—no relationship is perfect. We will also look at how, due to the rise of media and social media, our views of healthy and unhealthy relationships become influenced by the media. Therefore, the purpose of this …

Growth Vs Fixed Mindset Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Growth Vs Fixed Mindset Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Goal 4: Intrapersonal Intelligence Narrative
It is easy for adolescents, because their lives are full of constant change, to feel like any conflict, challenge, or criticism makes them a failure. However, these are actually opportunities to grow and learn, about oneself and others. They are opportunities to self-reflect, challenge your own assumptions and knowledge, expand your knowledge and skill sets, gain a broader understanding of different perspectives, and develop yourself on an individual level and within a relationship—friends, family, roommates, significant others, professional, and so on. Adapting a growth mindset during adolescence will prepare teens well for college and the professional world ahead of them. …
Boundary Setting Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Boundary Setting Program, Alyssa Gehrke
Goal 2: Life Skills Narrative
It is difficult for anybody, but especially teens and young adults, to understand what their boundaries are and to know how to communicate them with others. This impacts this age group (teens and young adults) most specifically because when we are young, we are both implicitly and explicitly told to mold and change our wants and needs to make others feel more comfortable. So, when living away from home for the first time and living with and being surrounded by new people who they are just getting to know it can be natural for them to want to continue molding …

Imsa’S Equity And Excellence Plan: 3 Year Outcome Report, Adrienne Coleman
Equity and Excellence Plan
The Academy recognizes and acknowledges the historical underrepresentation and marginalization of culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse groups, both universally, and particularly, in STEM education and professions. These disparities also exist in the representation of the Academy’s workforce. We are committed to advancing equity in STEM education and representation and creating a diverse, inclusive community of global citizens who can realize their full potential, and execute our mission to advance the human condition, through a model of Equity and Excellence.

Fighting Fire with STEM
Students will explore information interpretation and analysis, as well as a constant progression of information evolving as the event takes place. Students will be exposed to different decision- making processes according to given information (“sizing-up” concept). Additionally, students will utilize strategically thinking methods to place hydrants on a city map. Then, students will find the time needed for the fire truck to travel to the emergency location by using given speed and distance values. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to create a rescue plan based on information provided throughout the activities.

Design thinking is the intersection of engineering design and social-emotional learning. Today’s learners must be empathetic problem solvers capable of defining problems and designing appropriate solutions to meet the needs of the user. In this session, participants will experience design thinking through literature-based scenarios appropriate for early learners. They will analyze and compare their own models to those of others and compose a lesson that will engage students in the design thinking process.
