Micro-Society
FUTURISTIC SCHOOL STRUCTURAL DESIGN CAREER TO WORK INNOVATIVE PROGRAM
Micro-Society is Scholars Learning Academy's applied Active-Learning School Environment. The creation of the Micro-Town utilizes instructional strategies and methods for students to connect curriculum to real-life situations for life long-learning. Designed to empower young people to take an active role in their own education, Micro-Society programs incorporate student interests such as leadership, performance, journalism and entrepreneurship into the learning process.
Student jobs in a Micro-Society program reinforce basic academic skills and lessons, providing them with opportunities for drill and practice and preparing them to be leaders. Young bankers and entrepreneurs perform hundreds of transactions each day, elevating math to an everyday skill. Students use math to by and sell, create budgets, maintain checkbooks, and calculate taxes. They apply geometry when measuring floor plans or making jewelry and algebra when developing financial reports and spreadsheets. Social Studies becomes a living lesson in citizenship and government. Students constantly create and test their own theories and policies. For lawyers, legislators and reporters, reading and writing are essential skills which they hone quickly. Effective communication spells the difference between success and failure. And a Micro-Society program sees no color or socio-economic status- instead, it sees creativity, talent, determination and hope.
