Product: At the end of our time with the students our goal is to have students understand
the benefits of attending college as well as a greater understanding of what college is. We
plan to have Samford athletes attend our last meeting with the students and have a panel
discussion, so the students can interact with college students, some being first generation
college goers themselves. Before each meeting with the students on Wednesdays, we will
have a prepared lesson that outlines topics surrounding the conversations of college life
and how to get to college. We will hold ourselves accountable by checking with each
other and Mrs. Smith weekly to plan mini-lessons, activities, etc.
Reality Check: We will be using student chrome books, iPads, PowerPoint presentations,
and various materials for mini-lessons. Students have chrome books and iPad class sets
that we will borrow when needed. All the materials we need with be at Trace Crossings or
we will provide the needed resources ourselves.
Conclusion: There is a great need to inform elementary students of the benefits and
options they have to further their education at the college level. Teaching students at an
early age about college can greatly benefit their desire to go to college and be informed
about the college basics. We are passionate about this project because these are students
who are normally considered non-college bound and we want to provide these students
with a first hand look at what they can achieve with a higher education and degree from
college!
