21st Century Education

1. What do you think are the most important skills that you are going to need for your post-high school life?

I believe that the most important skills that I will need after high school will be
Social skills, being organized, being able to take on responsibilities, completing tasks, and being respectful of others.

2. Do you think you are developing these skills in high school? (Why or why not)

Yes I do think we are developing these skills in high school because we have to work with others, which is making us social. If you are not organized in a class you will loose your assignments so a majority of students will stay organized. Taking on responsibilities is saying you will do something and completing it for the teacher which ties into completing tasks. If you do not give your teacher respect, what makes you think that they will give you respect, or in the halls if you don’t respect one another it could just be chaotic at all times.

3. Please describe the perfect school OR the perfect English class (that is based on serving your personal interests and your future plans.

The perfect school, everyone would complete assignments, stay focused on what they want to achieve in there future there would be a class for every interest you have in the future, such as family studies or what it is like to be a child’s teacher, for an example an early childhood education room that you could learn specifically about what they do when you are there teacher.

4. Describe what you are doing next year.
Next year since the program I would like to attend you have to be 19 years or older which is early childhood education. I am planning on staying in Penticton, moving out on my own and going to attend Okanagan College to upgrade a few courses and work part time at a daycare to get the feel of always being around children, to make that this is what I want to do with my career.
