AP Study Hall & Future Ready Skills
Studying and Preparing for Your Academic Future
What: A Hybrid College Ready Skills & Study Hall Class
This class is designed to help you be a successful student at Locust Fork High School and in whatever academic setting you choose to pursue after graduation. While you will be given ample time to complete assignments for your classes this year, a portion of your time will also be spent learning and focusing on skills that will prepare you for the challenges to come after graduation.
Why: Strong Study Skills & Digital Literacies are Essential
Making the grade is only a portion of the challenge in post-secondary education and success at the college or university level is not strictly dependent upon your intellectual ability. Instead, you need a wide variety of skills not covered on an AP test to complement your GPA and help you become a more well-rounded scholar capable of handling the challenges to come. To this end, we will focus on the skills listed below.
- Organizational Skills
- Time Management Skills
- Communication Skills
- Research Skills
- Presentation Skills
- Collaboration Skills
- Professionalism and Leadership Skills
How: Through Hands-on, Real-World Applications
These skills will be taught using applicable tech tools and apps including but not limited to GSuite for education. Students will be held accountable for participating in class and will receive a grade as well as a credit for this course. As a class, we will plan for instructional and practice time as well as independent study time based upon the weekly class schedules and requirements for AP US History, AP Biology, AP Statistics, AP Government, AP Literature and AP Language. These teachers are supportive of this class and many of activities will complement their courses.
