Every community deserves a safe gathering place to call home.
In this special edition of Clarkston Talks, hosted by Moses & Gladys, youth players of the community took to the streets to raise awareness to their need of a safe place to play.
In coordination with the Clarkston Community Center, host of the Clarkston Talks podcast and #homefieldCCC project, they had an open discussion to raise awareness for both issues and solutions to this community project.
We invite you to listen and join the Clarkston Community Center #homefieldCCC initiative.
Episode Two: Roles of Students & Teachers in a Shared Environment
Our Leaders of Tomorrow address how students and teachers have a shared role in maintaining a healthy environment.
Episode One: College & Career Readiness / School's Core Beliefs
Real Issues. Real Conversations.
In our first episode, two groups of students from the "Clarkston Talks" podcast reflect on college & career readiness, while also examining their school's core beliefs.
The state of Georgia considers "College & Career Ready Students" as students who;
- Enter the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) or University System of Georgia (USG) without needing remediation;
- Achieve a readiness score on the ACT, SAT, two or more Advanced Placement (AP) exams, or two or more International Baccalaureate (IB) exams;
- Pass a pathway-aligned end of pathway assessment (EOPA) resulting in a national or state credential; or
- Complete a work-based learning program.
The Governor's Office in Georgia last measured Clarkston's College & Career Readiness as 31.8%, against a state average of 56.8% and county average of 50.5%.
Our Leaders of Tomorrow also discussed their school's established core beliefs.
- Learning is an ongoing and far-reaching process that involves students, parents, educators, and community.
- Students will maximize their learning potential by analyzing and synthesizing information.
- Students will be able to communicate acquired knowledge.
- Parents and educators must nurture student potential.
- Students and educators will maintain high ethical and academic standards.
- Students must accept responsibility for their personal, academic, and social growth.
- Teachers will use a variety of methods to ensure academic success for all students.
Should students actively have a role in shaping their school's core beliefs?
We invite your feedback, and want you to join in the conversation.
