This past Friday I emailed Mr. Poon, Ms. Mantaris, and the three teachers who teach for the OFC program. The email I sent to Ms. Mantaris (possibly I have the wrong email) get sent back to me, but the others went through fine. I am still waiting for their responses, but each of the emails sent went something like this:
Hello All! My name is Kayla Cody and I am a senior at BHS. I am in Mr. Ficher's B-Block Public Speaking and Writing Class this year. We were given an assignment to find a problem or potential problem in BHS and answer the question or find possible solutions. I chose to do my project on the effectiveness of the Opportunity for Change Program. I was wondering if you could possibly answer a few questions for me about OFC:
1. How many students are in OFC?
2. What are some of the reason these students are selected into the program? What is/are the missons/goals of this program?
3. What are the average GPA's of the students?
4. What are the average SAT and ACT scores for OFC students?
5. What colleges are OFC students applying to and getting accepted to?
6. What is the basic structure of the program and what is the curriculum on?
7. In your opinion, do OFC students get/do enough in school work and homework outside of school?
8. Overall, do you feel that this program prepares these students for life beyond high-school?
9. What job opportunities have previous OFC graduates obtained?
10. Anything else you'd like to add that proves the effectiveness of the OFC program.
If you don't feel comfortable answering these questions online, I would feel fine interviewing you in person whenever you are available. I have free E-Block on Wednesday and Friday.
With sincere appreciation,
Kayla Cody
I hope to get the answers to these questions soon , weather through email or personal interviews.
I plan on interviewing a few OFC students as well for their input.
Kayla: Too much for e-mail. You need to to and speak with these people in person. It's too much to ask them to write back about all of these questions. Go see them!
ReplyDeleteHI KAYLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) okay so all your questions you are asking are really good. Maybe you could interveiw one of the deans too! probably Blueshard because I did an interview with him and he gave some good info about OFC how many kids are selected and like the graduation rate of BHS with OFC.
ReplyDeletehey kayla sorry to answer so late. but i feel like these questions will give u alot of great answers, and it will be interesting to actually see the data and with that properly analyze the effectiveness of the OFC program to students. Im also doing OFC and im interviewing alot of old OFC students now in college it wil be interesting to see their take on OFC vs. the teachers.
