These individuals will develop their own skills as well as those of others by working as facilitators with other students and by assuming leadership roles in the educational community.
ALI utilizes an active, personalized and interdisciplinary approach to learning. Themes such as respect and tolerance are explored in depth and in a practical manner to ensure their application in the school and community.
Significant time is devoted to field-based endeavors using the rich natural, historical and human resources of Cape Cod, in particular those in Dennis and Yarmouth. Participants develop projects and portfolios based on these experiences which are the basis for student assessment. They work on persuasive essays, use assessment rubrics, and learn about smart goals.
All participants are given the opportunities, support and experiences to lead and excel. Students think about different aspects of being a self-directed learner and a responsible leader.
This three-week institute is held during the month of July at the high school. Enrollment is limited.
Interested students should contact Assistant Principal Ann Knell at the high school at 508-398-7644.
