WBL Workshop #4 Reflection

           During the WBL Workshop, we discussed the CTE Diploma requirements and why we need it. We also discussed what the WBL requirements, WBL Application, discipline policies, and the confidentiality agreement. For instance, we need about 30 hours of community service, 15 hours of job shadowing, and to attend every WBL Workshop there will be during our school year. Not only that, but there are bunch of more requirements like to attend field trips based on the academy and to attend all college or career fair there is to have all credits. 
     Our teachers went into detail and informed us on how we can achieve the internships and have the WBL experiences. We were told that there will be more in-school workshops like this one, guest speakers to talk about careers, job shadowing openings, and where we can find internships. It is very important to have all these requirements checked in order to gain the CTE endorsement and graduate as an over-achiever to impress the college candidates. I believe with these requirements checked in, colleges will see us as more professional, and experienced students with the modern technology and will see us more useful by having CTE endorsement.

Missed out on College Fair!

For instance, a peer told me that it went very successful because every college there was pleased on the way our school students were, and how we were so eager to learn about the colleges.  

JQ Structure Poster Reflection

      The JQ Structure Poster was all about showing all the labs that we've worked on with jQuery. The first step I completed was taking screenshots of all my labs and placing it as an image on the poster, then arranging it to make it look presentable. The next step I took, was making it stylish with the fonts and how I wrote "Lab 1" or so and placed my reflections for each lab. After I repeated this step for all three of my labs, I printed it out as a tabloid format, I had a little difficult printing it out the right way, because some parts of the format was incorrect, but with the exploring of the preferences for photoshop, I figured out my mistake, and handed it in on time.  

CW What Does a CTE Diploma Means To Me?

     In order to obtain a CTE Diploma, you need to complete the WBL workshop requirements and pass the CTE class for all three high school years with an 80+ average in it. You must have a decent attendance record with good behavior comments from other teachers to show you're a responsible student and that you care about your education. You'll need 44 credits in total with the other major subject and elective classes to have a regular high school diploma. CTE Diploma is different and more unique than the regular because it shows you experienced the professional life with the WBL trips and fairs, and met professional people at their jobs. Not only that but it shows, you achieved more than the average students by taking technical exams which relates to the real world situations.       To have a regular high school diploma, you would need to pass all five regents which are english, algebra, living environment, u.s history, and global history regents.
