Cherese Pearson -- CONTRACT FOR B & A --Semester 2

Contract For "B"

For my Contract for "B" I would like to create a human service project with my Spanish Club. I would like to call it "Ayudando a nuestros vecinos" Helping our neighbors. I am working something out with the Salvation Army/Union Gosphel Mission as we speak. Some things we will be doing are: a food drive, volunteering at the Soup kitchen and getting my students involved in mentoring little kids.

Contract for "A"

I have been working with a panel from my school on a "School To Work Program". By this we are trying to get students practical experience in their chosen job related fields. So far, we have been able to get funding for a dinner theatre, a catering business and a data publishing company (Who makes the menus & advertisments for the other areas.) For my part, I suggested students interested in Spanish & Elementary/Secondary Education will create a Spanish Clinic where myself and students plan an entire day to teach little ones to speak Spanish. Before this happens we will job-shadow at elementary schools who offer Spanish and even get to drive to Minneapolis to check out a full fledged immersion school. We are only in the beginning phases of this process. It may take until summer or next fall to complete this process. We have to get together to write grants for additional money. So far I have been approved to make two field trips this spring.

This is a neat idea because students wishing to pursue a career in Spanish or elementary education will get an idea of whats involved with making lesson plans and will find out what it is like working with youngsters. (Hopefully they still like teaching!!!) HA! We are trying to come up with funding so we can pay them for the clinics or set up some sort of internship. This will also look great on their resumes.
