Student Presentation Modules
These Arizona Academic Scholars' presentations inform students about the demands that will be placed on future employees and the need for students to begin preparing for their futures by working hard in middle and high school. These twelve electronic modules target students in grades 6 - 11 (two each year). Because the presentations end with assignments aligned to the Arizona Academic Standards, teachers are asked to replace a current lesson plan that has a less critical life message with one of these modules. In other words, the Scholars presentations replace a lesson, and are not something additional teachers need to teach. Modules are fun, student-friendly, and presented by a 'virtual business person,' and deliver and reinforce messages of hard work and high expectations.
