Description
Information for 10th graders and their families presented on March 16, 2022.
A
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
lauren
mcbride.
I
am
the
principal
at
burlington
high
school.
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
our
10th
grade
student
and
family
night
that
is
being
facilitated
by
our
amazing
school
counselors.
Mr
tony
settle
and
jen
richter,
who
will
be
with
us
and
leading
us
through
the
evening
tonight.
We
also
have
shannon
walters,
who
is
here
helping
to
support
with
the
tech
side
of
things
and
assistant
principal
of
student
supports
kate
paxton,
who
is
also
here
as
well.
A
We
are
just
a
few
kind
of
like
housekeeping
pieces.
As
you
settle
in
from
the
comfort
of
your
own
home.
There
is
a
view
button
on
the
top
right
hand
corner.
So,
if
you're
having
a
hard
time,
if
currently
your
view,
only
has
one
of
us
up,
but
you
want
to
see
all
of
us,
you
can
go
ahead
and
use
that
view
waffle
button
to
be
able
to
make
any
changes.
A
This
evening
we
there
is
a
q,
a
function
that
you'll
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
bar.
That
is
a
place
that,
if
you
have
questions
as
we
go,
you
can
go
ahead
and
add
that
question
into
the
q
a
function
we're
going
to
use
that
one
and
instead
of
the
chat
so
that
way,
we
can
monitor
that
and
be
answering
questions
as
we
go.
There
also
will
be
a
time
for
a
question
and
answer
period
at
the
end.
A
I
just
want
to
give
you
or
just
provide
you
with
a
super
quick
welcome.
I
know
that
this
year
has
been
an
unusual
way
to
enter
into
high
school
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
really
amazing
work
that's
been
happening,
and
I
think
that,
as
we
continue
to
move
into
the
spring,
we
are
excited
to
continue
to
see
our
current
ninth
graders
grow
and
thrive
within
our
downtown
vhs
space.
A
There
are,
there's
gonna,
be
a
lot
of
different
activities
that
are
happening
in
the
spring,
that
will
contin
and,
as
we
continue
to
open
up
as
a
school
that
we
are
hopeful
that
we
can
welcome
you
into
our
community.
More
than
you've
been
able
to
be,
you
know,
be
in
the
building
before,
and
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
plug
for
tomorrow.
Just
as
a
reminder,
tomorrow
is
an
early
release
day
in
the
afternoon.
A
There's
a
couple
different
options:
we
have
credit
recovery
and
also
we
have
a
makeup
workspace.
This
is
for
students
that
maybe
have
some
work
that
they
got
to
catch
up
on,
maybe
they're
behind
on
a
few
assignments
or
there's
just
a
they
want
a
quiet
space
to
be
able
to
work,
so
students
are
able
to
stay
after
the
early
release
spell.
A
And,
additionally,
there
are
some
workshops
that
are
happening
for
families
tomorrow,
there's
been
a
couple:
robo
calls
that
have
come
out
this
week
about
them.
They
are
featuring
some
of
our
school
counselors
as
well
as
some
of
our
other
supports
in
in
our
building,
such
as
our
social
worker
and
our
sap.
A
So,
if
you're
curious
about
them
check
your
email
because
there's
an
email
that
came
out
from
me
with
a
link
to
a
flyer
that
has
some
different
offerings
for
families
that
will
happen
tomorrow,
thursday
in
the
afternoon
and
then
also
friday
in
the
morning.
Friday
is
not
a
traditional
school
day
again
from
9
to
12.
We
will
have
credit
recovery
and
that
catch-up
space,
as
well
as
some
workshops
running.
So
we're
really
excited
about
this.
A
B
C
C
I
want
to
thank
lauren
and
I
want
to
thank
kate
for
their
efforts.
Lauren.
Oh
okay,
good
you're,
still
here,
so
you
should
hear
this
untiring
efforts.
The
amount
of
work
that's
going
into,
keeping
us
growing
and
surviving
is,
is
amazing
and
deserves
recognition.
So
I'm
so
there
it
is,
there's
a
recognition.
C
I'm
going
to
go
over
some
basic
things
very
typical
for
a
10th
grade
presentation,
we'll
talk
about
credits,
we'll
talk
about
course
registration,
but
the
underlying
theme
of
everything
tonight
is
about
self-discovery,
and
so
so
I
just
want
you
to
keep
that
in
mind
that
that's
so
vitally
important.
Okay,
so
I
will
start
sharing
my
screen
and
just
give
me
a
half
a
sec.
Okay.
Here
we
go.
B
C
Sorry,
it's
it's
not
working!
Okay,
okay,
so
I
want
to
introduce
our
fellow
school
counselors
jen
richter,
whose
caseload
is
students
with
the
last
names
m
through
s,
generally
speaking,
will
be
helping
out
on
the
chat
and
answering
questions
tonight.
My
name
is
tony
settle.
I
have
the
students
with
the
last
names
t
through
z,
and
I
am
also
the
school
counselor
for
the
el
students.
I
believe
for
ninth
graders.
My
alphabet
may
be
in
the
mid
w's
karen
prouty
is
alphabet
f
through
l,
and
least
bruder
is
a
through
e.
C
So
if
you
need
to
reach
out
to
talk
with
your
student's
counselor,
that's
a
good
way
to
start
the
process,
though,
in
truth,
any
of
us
are
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions
from
any
parent
and
help
guide
you
to
the
source
that
you
need
to
get
to
tonight's
overview
tonight's
agenda.
So
sorry,
there's
in
overview
we'll
talk
about
graduation
requirements
course,
registration,
which
is,
has
already
started
and
is
ongoing.
C
The
main
thing
I
mentioned
before
exploring
interests,
interests
and
careers
and
some
of
the
good
ways
to
do
that.
We
have
a
software
package
that
we
use
called
naviance.
Parents
have
received
an
invitation
to
have
their
own
account
on
that.
They
can
also
be
part
of
their
students
account.
Students
are
also
have
their
own
account
on
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
really
neat
tools
in
there
for
post-secondary
college
and
career
exploration.
It's
not
just
about
colleges,
and
then
there
are
school
year
opportunities.
C
These
include
things
like
burlington
city
and
lake
btc,
that's
burlington,
tech
center
and
center
for
technology,
essex
programs
and
then
we'll
talk
about
looking
ahead
and
I'll,
be
discussing
some
summer
options
and
was
thinking
of
something
and
it's
and
it's
not
immediately
presenting
itself
okay
overview.
So
again,
the
dominant
theme
of
this
presentation
is
explore
your
interests
self-discovery
and
connecting
with
your
community.
C
So
the
really
cool
thing
now
is
you
can
start
thinking
about
what
comes
next.
This
is,
there
are
many
more
programs
that
you
can
now
apply
to
we're
coming
out
of
covid
times,
hopefully,
finally,
and
that
will
make
more
things
available
in
terms
of
visiting
places
in
person,
so
course
selection
program
offerings
summer
offerings.
C
Those
are
the
things
we're
talking
about
when
we
talk
about
what's
coming
next.
Okay,
senior
and
junior
years
are
for
exploring
personal
interests
more
deeply
and
to
try
new
things
and
it
yeah.
It
says
risk
so
for
sure,
there's
some
some
risk
involved,
but
that
could
be
as
as
much
as
saying
I
anticipate
being
uncomfortable
in
this
situation,
but
I
want
to
try
it
anyway.
C
C
Students
presently
need
24
credits
to
graduate.
This
is
actually
been
adjusted
very
slightly.
We're
unable
to
present
the
yes
program
over
the
past
two
years.
So
it's
now
23.5
credits.
This
is
to
meet
graduation
requirements.
Graduation
requirements
can
be
different
from
specific
post-secondary
preparation.
C
I'll
elaborate
as
I
go
through
each
category,
so
english
students
need
to
take
one
credit
of
english
per
year
for
a
total
of
four
credits:
social
studies,
three
credits
as
sophomores.
Most
of
them
are
presently
in
world
history.
They
took
civics
during
ninth
grade
you're
required
to
take
civics
world
history
and
u.s
history.
One
credit
of
each
us.
History
is
divided
into
two
semester-long
classes,
so
there's
more.
C
C
Those
can
vary
depending
on
where
you
start:
science,
three
credits
traditionally
earth,
science,
biology
and
chemistry,
world
language,
two
credits,
fine
arts
that
would
be
in
our
classroom,
music
class,
one
credit,
physical
education,
one
and
a
half
credits
and
one
half
of
those
credits
can
be
earned
through
team
sports
participation,
health
class
point
five
credits
and
then
electives.
It's
not
cut
and
dried
that
it's
six
credits,
it's
it
depends
on.
C
C
You
guys
will
need
to
do
23
point
present.
Sophomores
will
need
to
do
23.75
credits
because
they'll
have
the
opportunity
to
do
yes
this
year
and
the
following
two
years,
so
that
should
say
year-end
studies,
0.75
credit
0.25
per
year.
We
have
community
service
10
hours
per
year
and
a
personal
learning
plan.
Those
are
the
real
nuts
and
bolts
of
what
number
of
credits
you
need
to
get
to
graduate.
C
By
the
way,
I
want
to
mention
that
I
want
to
leave
a
lot
of
time
for
questions
from
parents
and
students,
and
my
goal
is
to
minimize
the
amount
of
time
I'm
talking
to
you,
because
it's
really
difficult
to
participate
in
a
webinar
and
just
have
to
listen
to
a
one-sided
conversation,
not
a
conversation,
all
right.
So
next
slide.
I
did
say
that
there
is
more
there's
more
selection,
more
choices,
so
u.s
history,
for
example.
Instead
of
a
one-credit
world
history
class
as
sophomores,
you
can
now
choose
between
several
different
u.s
history
classes.
C
C
The
other
is
more
national,
centric
ethnic
studies,
part
one
part
two
is
going
to
be
through
specific
lens
of
different
different
ethnic
groups
and
their
experience
in
you
in
the
u.s
women
in
u.s
histories,
another
one
in
ap
u.s
history
is
the
first
one
of
the
first
ap
course
offerings
that
students
can
challenge
themselves
with,
and
that
actually
is
a
year-long
course.
One
credit
if
you
speaking
of
10th
graders
or
their
parents,
if
you
or
your
child,
is
interested
in
taking
that
class.
C
It's
I
got
to
tell
you
it's
a
significant
amount
of
work
and
there
is
work
to
be
done
over
the
summer.
It's
very
challenging,
but
there's
a
lot
to
be
said
for
for
engaging
in
that
challenge
and
and
learning
about
yourself,
social
studies
electives.
These
are
course
offerings
that
juniors
can
now
start
to
explore
things
like
psychology
or
public
issues
and
worlds
affair.
C
Burlington
city
and
lake
has
offered
partial
day
classes
in
the
past.
We
hope
to
bring
that
back,
but
that
is
not
unplanned
for
next
year,
all
right,
so
those
are
just
some
of
the
info
on
the
us
history,
social
studies,
electives
course
registration.
So
this
started
february
8th
and
has
been
going
on
since
then.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
course
request.
These
are
just
requests.
C
C
These
we
are
aiming
to
deliver
preliminary
schedules
by
the
end
of
may.
This
is
a
process
that
has
ongoing
adjustments,
so
your
students
may
well
have
already
requested
their
classes.
They
can
continue
to
reach
out
to
their
counselors
and
alter
their
requests,
adjust
their
requests.
This
can
happen
during
the
summer.
This
can
happen
during
add
drop
period
in
the
fall.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
time
to
reflect
on
what
your
interests
are,
how
your
interests
are
developing
and
trying
to
adjust
your
schedule,
so
they
fit
those
interests.
C
So
the
answer
to
this
question:
according
to
some
web
resources,
is
13.,
so
some
have
had
more
than
that.
Some
have
had
less
than
that,
but
basically
most
people
are
going
to
have
a
number
of
different
jobs,
and
so
here's,
where
I
start
to
get
into
the
meat
of
of
my
objective
for
tonight
and
it's.
How
do
you
figure
out
who
you
are
what
you're
about?
C
C
C
So
there's
no
right
or
wrong
answer
more
than
it's
just
how
you
feel
about
it
and
what
you
choose
is
right,
because
it's
right
for
you,
it
makes
the
whole
thing
very
easy
daydreaming,
exploring
ideas
on
the
web.
The
web
is
an
incredible
tool.
You
can
go
on
youtube
and
and
see
first-hand
videos
from
inside
a
jetliner.
C
You
know
they
they
have
some
of
the
737
or
747
pilot
perspective
of
of
taking
off
and
landing.
That's
just
one
that
leaps
to
mind.
Another
thing
is
job
shadow,
job,
shadowing
and
informational
meetings.
We
have
a
huge
number
of
connections
within
our
community.
It
can
be
as
simple
as
talking
to
a
teacher
or
talking
to
a
trusted
adult
or
or
talking
to
your
friends,
perhaps
they're
involved
in
something
where
they
can
connect
you
with
somebody
who
can
have
a
meeting
with
you
and
talk
about.
C
C
C
C
What
we
do
is
we
put
in
all
of
the
documents
transcripts
school
profiles,
letters
of
recommendations
that
a
student
must
send
to
a
college
with
their
application.
We
collect
all
of
those
in
naviance.
We
link
them
up
to
the
students,
application
account,
which
is
generally
common
application,
and
that
way
we
seamlessly
send
these
records
and
to
the
schools
that
students
are
applying
to.
C
So
the
really
cool
thing
about
naviance,
though,
is
there's
a
whole
self-discovery
section
again
all
students
get
in
naviance
account
all
parents
get
a
naviance
account.
These
are
generally
issued
at
the
start
of
their
it's
reissued
at
the
start
of
their
junior
year.
They
get
them
earlier
on,
but
we
make
a
big
push
to
get
them
to
the
juniors
all
right.
C
C
Let's
get
over
here,
okay,
here
we
go
so
in
the
interest
surveys
in
the
self-discovery
section.
They
have
things
like
career
cluster,
finder
strengths,
explorer
career
interest
profile,
so
profiler.
So
again,
these
are
very
simple
short.
I
don't
really
want
to
question
ears,
that's
really
the
best
way
to
describe
them
and
they
ask
you
things
like.
Do
you
see
yourself
working
in
an
office
or
do
you
see
yourself
working
outside?
C
C
They
will
automatically
link
you
to
a
career
database
and
they
will
give
suggestions
on
pursuits
that
you
might
find
interesting.
I
don't
even
want
to
call
them
careers
so
much.
I
just
want
to
start
with.
What
are
you?
What
are
you
basically
interested
in
and
then
go
along
that
and
you?
It
may
be
that
you're
interested
in
teaching?
And
you
know
so
classically
you
can
work
in
education,
but
you
can
work
in
education
in
a
number
of
different
areas.
C
You
could
work
in
in
knowles,
outdoor
outdoor
experience,
education
or
you
could
work
in
academic
research
at
a
large
university.
There
are
so
many
different
ways
to
to
pursue
a
specific
interest
in
a
bunch
of
different
ways,
so
it
helps
you
identify
things
you're
interested
in
gives
you
ideas
about
where
you
can
pursue
those,
not
the
other
main
part
of
naviance.
Is
it's
a
really
good
way
to
explore
colleges?
C
They
have
something
called
super
match
where
you
can
put
in
the
things
you
are
interested
in
in
school,
it
be
it
major
or
location
or
college
size
or
extracurriculars,
and
they
will
generate
a
list
of
schools
that
you
might
be
interested
in
based
on
your
parameters.
So
that's
when
I
talk
about
starting
to
create
a
college
list.
C
A
C
A
Yeah,
I
was
gonna
say
the
only
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
add
out,
so
my
my
response
that
I'm
halfway
through
with
was
first
check
in
with
your
school
counselor
and
potentially
teachers
about
opportunities
that
may
exist
within
the
community.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
actually
working
on
right
now
is
really
looking
at
our
flexible
pathways
opportunities
and
we're
looking
to
expand
specifically
some
like
some
opportunities,
just
even
for
internships
within
the
building.
A
It's
in,
like
the
very
preliminary
phases
kind
of
preliminary
planning
phase
right
now,
but
we're
looking
to
pilot
this
next
year.
So
that
way
we
can
enhance
just
opportunities
like
even
on
site,
so
there'll
be
more
to
come
on
that
that's
kind
of
like
in
the
in
the
construction
phase
but,
as
tony
said,
first
and
foremost,
check
in
check
in
with
the
counselors,
because
they
have
access
to
existing
relationships
that
already
exist.
C
Yeah,
the
the
other
thing
I
want
to
add
to
that.
Thank
you,
lauren.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
add
to
that
is:
there
are
a
number
of
opportunities
that
are
made
known
to
us
in
communications,
from
colleges
uvm,
for
instance,
had
was
had
students
working
in
a
science
lab
lat.
It
was
either
last
summer.
Well,
it
must.
C
I
may
be
going
back
two
years
because
I'm
thinking
this
has
to
have
been
pre-locked
down,
so
there
are
other
opportunities
that
are
made
known
yeah
in
bcl,
for
example,
students
will
be
working
with
a
number
of
professionals
from
different
backgrounds
in
the
context
of
of
their
classwork
with
bcl.
So
that's
another
way
to
make
relationships
and
be
able
to
access
opportunities.
C
C
Okay,
I
I
quickly
want
to
move
on
to
valerie's
question
and
talking
about
naviance
tools
are
very
underutilized
and
I
would
agree
with
you
valerie
the
the
self-discovery
ones
there.
They
are
ripe
for
exploration.
So
do
you
with
students
or
could
you
with
parents?
Do
an
orientation
screen
share
to
get
over
the
hump
of
using
these
tools?
Another
time
I
would
love
to
do
that.
So
yes,
absolutely
emphatically
is
all
right.
I
feel
like
I
am
going
over
a
little
bit,
so
I
want
to
move
off
the
naviance
page.
C
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
summer
opportunities.
There's
one
thing
I
want
to
emphasize,
so
I'm
going
to
jump
straight
down
to
one
two,
three,
four,
the
fifth
bullet
governor's
institute
of
vermont,
so
they
are
now
in
person
again,
which
is
oh,
my
goodness,
I'm
so
happy
about
that.
This
gives
students
a
chance
to
study
at
a
college.
So
it's
a
bit
of
a
college
experience.
They
are
studying
in
different
course
content
areas,
governors
institute
of
vermont
gib,
dot
org.
C
They
are
generally
one
to
two
week
stays
the
majority
of
them
take
place
between
june
26
and
july,
2nd
or
july.
10Th,
though
there
are
others
that
last
longer,
as
as
long
as
july,
28th
and
there's
some
that
start
on
june
18th
again,
application
deadline
is
on
april
3rd
and
the
cost
is
not
overwhelming
and
it
is
also
income
based.
So
they
have
a
sliding
scale,
sliding
fee
scale
and
it
can
be
as
cheap
as
10
just
to
cover
the
application
fee
for
a
student
to
attend
for
two
weeks.
C
D
I
jump
in
since
I
serve
as
one
of
the
program
directors
for
giving
in
the
summer,
so
technology
and
design
is
at
champlain
college
with
faculty,
so
they
do
cyber
security
and
game
design.
Engineering
is
at
norwich
and
they
do
everything
from
energy
sourcing
to
mitigation
of
climate
change,
current
issue
or
global
issues
and
youth
activism
happens
down
in
poultney.
Astronomy
is
back
this
year
and
that's
at
linden
northern
vermont
university
at
london
and
they're
out
at
the
observatory
impeachm.
D
So
each
of
the
institutes,
it's
quite
a
variety
governor's
institutes
of
the
arts,
is
at
castleton
for
two
weeks.
So
each
institute
varies
in
length
of
time,
but
one
of
the
nice
things
about
it
is
you
don't
need
to
be
an
honor
student
to
be
part
of
it.
You
need
to
be
passionate
about
the
particular
topic,
so
the
website
that
tony
shared,
the
gib.org
will
show
you
all
of
the
details
about
each
of
the
institutes
and
and
again
they
have
a
real
commitment
that
any
student
who's
interested
should
be
able
to
join.
D
C
C
Shannon
thank
you
so
much
for
that
very
expert
description
that
that
you,
you
provided
so
much
detail.
Don't
have
to
be
an
honest
student.
You
can
explore
it's
about
what
you're
passionate,
what
you're
interested
in
and
just
exploring
that
so
governor's
institute
other
things
to
consider
about
this
summer.
Take
the
time
to
do
some
job
shadowing.
C
It's
always
nice
to
have
a
summer
job
and
and
both
to
earn
some
income,
as
well
as
potentially
to
explore
new
interest.
Think
about
doing
some
community
service.
You
need
40
hours
to
by
the
time
you
graduate
and
again
this
could
be
related
to
something
that
you're
interested
in
internships
we
mentioned
before.
C
There
are
some
class
offerings
in
the
local
colleges,
ccv
uvm,
st
mike
champlain.
There
are
dual
enrollment
classes,
it's
tricky
based
on
the
start,
dates
and,
and
this
year
sophomores
are
eligible
as
soon
as
sophomore
year
ends.
To
take
two
two
tuition:
free,
dual
enrollment
classes
and
unfortunately,
some
of
the
start
dates
for
those
classes
begin
before
the
sophomore
year
ends,
but
others
exist.
C
Dionna
bradley
is
the
key
person
to
talk
to
about
this,
but
mention
it
to
your
school
counselor
reach
out
to
your
school
counselor,
and
they
will
be
able
to
put
you
in
touch
with
her,
as
well
as
to
answer
other
questions,
there's
also
an
introduction
to
college
and
career
class
at
ccv,
and
that
is
the
basics
of
functioning
as
a
college
student.
So
it's
going
to
be
about
being
organized
in
study
skills.
C
C
You
really
like
working
with
you
really
like
doing
research
or
or
tabulating
results
for
scientific
study
whatever
it
may
be,
try
to
follow
that
and
and
discover
a
place
where,
where
you
can
pursue
that
so
there's
you
know,
try
new
sport
or
join
a
new
club.
Try
a
new
course.
I
mentioned
the
dual
enrollment
opportunities.
C
Think
about
different
paths
that
you
can
take
tech
centers
a
little
bit
more
on
that
in
a
bit
dual
enrollment.
Something
I'll
talk
to
you
about
next
year
is
doing
early
college
during
your
senior
year,
where
you
are
officially
bts
bhs
student,
but
you
attend
college
full-time.
The
courses
you
take
their
account
both
as
high
school
credits
and
college
credits
and
aside
from
book
fees,
it's
basically
free,
burlington
city
and
a
lake
will
sorry
burlington
city
and
lake
andy
can
describe
that.
C
But
the
main
thing
is
these:
are
opportunities
to
learn
more
about
yourself
and
following
what
you're
interested
in
and
not
what
you
have
to
do
being
engaged
in
a
community
of
of
people
that
are
into
the
same
thing.
That's
that's
fun!
That's
what
it's
about!
That's
that's
the
enjoyable
thing!
It's
it's
not
it's!
You
get
to
have
you
get
to
have
personal
choice
and
personal
empowerment,
getting
a
little
philosophical,
but
we've
been
stripped
of
so
much
choice
over
the
past
couple
of
years
and
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
re-engage
with
that.
Okay.
C
E
Great,
thank
you
tony
I'm
going
to
show
a
lot
of
pictures.
So
if
you
folks
are
at
home
and
just
listening
in,
you
probably
want
to
turn
the
video
on.
My
name
is
andy
barker,
I'm
the
project
director
of
burlington
city
in
lake
semester,
and
it's
one
of
the
great
opportunities
that's
available
to
juniors
and
seniors
at
bhs.
It's
a
bhs
course.
E
I'm
just
gonna
show
some
pictures
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
program
for
maybe
four
or
five
minutes.
I'd
be
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
end.
Thank
you,
tony
for
making
space
for
me
to
talk
about
this
and
folks
out
there
who
are
10th
graders
and
have
students
who
are
10th
graders
in
their
family.
You've
got
two
shots
at
at
this.
Students
take
city
and
lake
as
juniors
or
as
seniors.
E
E
If
you're,
like
most
people,
you're
going
to
say
you
can
advance
the
slide,
tony,
that
you're
comfortable
physically
and
socially,
that
you're
not
stressed
out
and
go
on
to
the
next
slide.
You're
exploring
new
things,
as
tony
has
been
talking
about
meeting
new
people
next
slide,
you're
encountering
new
ideas
and
new
places,
you're
seeing
things
with
new
eyes.
E
That's
the
right
level
of
challenge
next
slide,
so
you're
learning
but
you're
not
overwhelmed
next
slide
and
you're
going
to
say
that
you're
being
yourself
and
finding
out
more
deeply
who
you
are
well
that's
kind
of
what
bcl
is
it's
a
program?
That's
really
built
around
this
question.
What
do
we
need
to
thrive
next
slide?
Please?
E
What
do
we
need
as
a
person?
What
do
we
need
as
a
group?
What
do
we
need
as
a
community,
and
we
don't
just
talk
about
that?
We
do
it
next
slide.
Please
more
than
150
students
have
done
bcl
now
we're
in
our
fourth
program
year
and
all
kinds
of
students
have
done
bcl,
and
I
really
mean
that
all
kinds
of
students
with
different
learning
profiles,
different
backgrounds,
different
relationships
with
school-
and
if
you
ask
those
kids,
almost
all
of
them
are
going
to
say
it
was
fun.
E
E
So
bcl
is
a
great
chance
to
spend
more
time
in
the
city
next
slide
to
engage
with
issues
that
really
matter
right
now,
right
here
in
our
city
and
also
globally.
It's
a
chance
to
stretch
your
wings
a
bit
to
explore
some
new
things
to
reconnect
with
peers
a
lot
of
bcl
students
write
their
college
essays
about
something
that
we
encountered
in
bcl
next
slide.
E
So
here
are
the
basics:
bcl
is
a
burlington
high
school
course.
You
earn
english
credit,
social
studies,
credit
and
two
electives
credits.
So
that's
two
semester
credits
you
meet
on
blue
days
all
day
in
the
city,
from
nine
to
three
and
our
home
base
is
at
the
old
north
end
center,
which
is
just
three
blocks
away
from
downtown
bhs
and
from
that
base
you
can
do
the
next
slide.
Tony
we
get
out
and
about
we're
in
the
fresh
air.
E
E
They
reflect
on
these
experiences
and
we
have
enough
time
during
the
day
to
cover
some
ground
to
get
to
the
lake
or
the
south
end
or
the
intervale,
to
have
some
fun
together
and
really
to
think
deeply
about
things
that
we
encounter
with
frameworks
such
as
systems
thinking,
we
talk
a
lot
about
power
dynamics
and
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
so
bcl
is
built
around
several
key
themes
that
we
think
are
fundamental
to
really
preparing
students
for
the
21st
century
sustainability.
E
E
How
do
we
take
action
in
the
world
and
we
use
frameworks
to
understand
these
topics,
and
then
we
pursue
projects
to
do
them.
So
we've
done
a
number
of
real
world
projects
together
over
the
last
several
years.
Next
slide,
please,
we've
consulted
with
the
city
of
burlington.
On
their
first
ever
equity
report,
students
created
a
video
about
racial
justice
with
dozens
of
interviews
with
various
advocates
and
leaders
in
the
city
next
slide.
Please,
we've
had
students,
plant
native
tree
species
for
forest
restoration
as
a
part
of
the
city's
climate
plan.
E
We've
collaborated
with
a
number
of
professional
artists
on
public
art
projects,
projection
art,
murals,
podcasts.
Here's
a
picture
of
students
who
worked
with
street
artist
will
casochondri
and
they
made
a
series
of
large-scale
faces
that
are
hanging
downtown
at
bhs.
Maybe
you've
seen
that
image
before
next
slide.
Please
we
also
do
individual
projects,
so
students
follow
their
curiosity.
They
use
interviews
with
people
in
the
city,
direct
experiences
to
do
living,
research,
sometimes
collecting
data
and
then
presenting
that
to
their
peers,
and
it's
really
amazing
what
we
can
learn
from
each
other.
E
E
A
lot
of
students
do
find
adults
in
our
city
that
they
want
to
follow
up
with
to
pursue
internships,
and
we've
got
a
number
of
students
now
working
at
the
forbidden
factory,
which
is
a
textile
design
and
production
shop,
a
student
working
there
who
found
that
role
through
burlington
city
late
semester,
many
others
I
could
name
so
so.
The
idea
is
burlington
city
in
lake
semester
is
an
opportunity
that
you
could
consider
for
your
junior
or
senior
year.
E
Since
course.
Sign
ups
have
already
happened.
If
this
is
something
that
you
wanted
to
pursue
as
a
junior,
you
should
really
check
in
with
your
bhs
counselor,
but
I
will
say,
the
application
is
open
at
our
website,
which
I
hope
you'll
check
out,
vtv,
city
and
lake.org,
and
certainly,
if
you're
interested,
but
but
it
doesn't
work
in
your
schedule
as
a
junior,
you
might
want
to
consider
it
as
a
senior.
E
C
C
Working
with
you
know,
people
in
public
governance
or
private
sector,
business
or
infrastructure,
or
scientific
scientists
related
to
the
lake
or
or
artists
that
are
part
of
a
mural
project,
or
you
know
public
interest
when
you
talk
about
racial
and
diversity
issues
in
the
city.
So
I
take
the
lack
of
questions
right
now
to
be
indicative
of
the
the
depth
of
your
description.
E
Thanks
tony
I'll
say
one
other
quick
thing:
if
I
can,
we
are
going
to
be
consulting
next
week
with
the
architect
team.
That's
working
on
the
new
high
school
design
project
and
one
of
the
things
we've
been
talking
about
this
spring
is
the
education
system
and
what
our
schools
really
need
to
thrive.
So
that's
been
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
have
input
and
to
be
engaged
in
that
and
to
bring
student
voice
to
that
really
important
decision.
E
C
C
C
There
was
one
q
a
that.
I
wanted
to
say:
okay,
so
there's
a
question,
I'm
going
to
cover
this
one
right
at
the
end,
but
it's
what
are
some
options
for
students
that
may
want
to
take
a
gap
year,
so
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
gap
here
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
I
have
very
few
slides
left
so
that
the
oh
I
just
have
to
click
here
here
we
go.
Okay,
I
wanted
to
mention
the
burlington
tech
center.
C
They
are
in
the
midst
of
their
their
application.
They've
been
hosting
visits
if
you're
interested
in
a
program,
it
may
well
be
that
there
are
still
spots
in
the
program.
I
know,
for
instance,
that
the
digital
media
lab
focusing
on
photography,
video
recording
the
instructor
jason
raymond.
Just
let
me
know
that
he
is
still
seeking
some
of
this
year's
10th
graders
for
that.
So
that
is
a
daily
program
that
lasts
for
half
a
day,
awards
three
credits
and
gives
students
a
chance
to
explore
different
technical
technical.
C
I
don't
want
to
say
careers
interests,
you
know,
there's
auto
body
or
homeland
security
and
criminal
justice,
health,
science
academy,
there's
design
and
illustration
digital
media
lab.
There's
culinary
arts
aviation.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
programs.
It
can
be
a
really
cool
thing,
there's
also
the
center
for
technology
at
essex.
C
At
this
point
they
have
completed
their
application
period,
but
if
they
have
a
program
or
they
still
have
spots-
and
they
will
open
up
that
program
for
new
applicants
and
that's
a
full
day
program
where
the
science
math
and
depending
on
program,
english
and
social
studies
and
art
credits
are
embedded
in
the
coursework
over
there.
So
you're
attending
that
program
and
you're
going
to
get
six
credits
or
more
depending
on
the
program
you're
in,
but
it's
a
great
place
to
explore
things
like
computer
animation
or
cosmetology
or
dental
assisting.
C
They
have
a
engineering
and
architectural
design
program.
They
have
a
natural
resources
program,
they
have
building
technology
where
students
are
building
or
actually
building
a
home
side-by-side
with
professionals.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
hands-on
technical
training
in
those
programs,
okay,
so
looking
ahead,
so
basically
you're
at
the
beginning.
Right
now,
it's
I
I
wouldn't
expect
you
know
what
you
want
to
do
or
or
be
I
mean.
C
That's,
that's
basically
absurd,
though,
of
course
it's
not
to
detract
from
people
that
have
a
real,
solid
feel
for
for
what
they
want
to
do
and
what
they
want
to
pursue.
But
I'd
say
the
majority
are
exploring
right
now,
so
there
are
different
ways
to
to
explore
these
things.
Work,
military,
maybe
an
option.
Apprenticeships
vermont
has
an
amazing
apprenticeship
program
that
once
you
graduate
from
college,
you
can
get
apprenticeships
with
contractors
or
companies
and
end
up
getting
being
a
licensed
practitioner.
So
it
could
be
a
carpenter.
It
could
be
plumber,
electrician,
heating,
ventilation
person.
C
During
your
junior
year,
there's
going
to
be
some
standardized
junior
tests
in
the
fall
there'll
be
the
pre-sat
and
in
the
spring,
the
act
test.
I
do
want
to
mention
that
a
lot
of
schools
are
facing
out
the
requirement
to
take
those
tests.
Approximately
75
percent
of
colleges
have
gone
test
optional
for
at
least
the
next
couple
of
years
next
couple
of
years,
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
extended.
C
This,
oh
sorry,
this.
The
next
thing
I
want
to
say
is
comes
back
to
the
one
of
the
most
important
points
I
could
make
tonight,
which
is
simply
get
engaged,
and
do
it
doing
something
that
you're
interested
in
there's.
There's
nothing
that's
going
to
serve
you
better
than
that
community
is
so
important,
we're
so
starved
for
it
andy
mentioned
about
bcl.
Where
there
are
you
know,
students
are
working
side
by
side
in
groups
and
developing
close
relationships
and
supporting
each
other.
C
It's
so
important.
I
can't
emphasize
that
enough,
and
so
that's
the
goal.
You
know
it's
kind
of
like
it
says
showing
up
in
your
own
life.
To
me,
showing
up
in
your
own
life
is
paying
attention
to
how
you
feel
and
and
what
you
want
and
then
trying
to
pursue
that,
and
then
you
figure
out
where
you
know
it
could
be
in
community
service
could
be
in
sports
work,
extra,
coursework
clubs.
It
doesn't
matter
how
you're
doing
this
there's
no
best
way
to
do
this.
The
best
way
is
the
thing:
that's
really
getting.
C
You
engaged
that
I
so
speaking
for
colleges,
I
can
tell
you
in
conversations
with
college
admissions
departments
and
and
dartmouth
is
one
that
leaps
to
mind,
because
I
had
a
long
conversation
with
those
guys
it
was
all
about.
How
are
you
involved
in
your
community?
How
are
you
supporting
others,
and
and
how
are
you
pursuing
your
passions,
pursuing
your
opportunities
that
that's
the
main
thing
they
want
to
hear
about?
You
know
there's
those
are
valid
pursuits.
C
Those
are
the
things.
The
question
is,
what
is
the
evidence
of
you
being
at
your
best
trying?
That's
that's
just
try
explore
and
try.
No
one
can
ask
anymore
and
that's
the
thing
that's
going
to
be
your
best
guide
to
to
to
a
more
fulfilled
life.
I
really
believe
that
I
don't
like
to
say
it
that
way,
though
you
know
fulfilled
life,
but
it's
it's
just
doing
stuff
that
you're
into
is
probably
gonna.
Leave
you
feeling
better
about
yourself
and
about
your
life.
C
C
Try
to
network
network
is
networking
is
key
talk
to
anyone.
You
have
a
relationship
with
and
talk
about
what
you're
interested
in
and
that's
the
sure-fire
way
to
make
connections
to
people
that
they
know
that
will
help
you
have
opportunities
to
to
do
what
it
is
that
you
want
college
visits
you're
about
to
have
the
summer
off.
They
are
open.
They
love
to
connect
with
students.
C
C
Okay,
that
is
the
official
end
of
my
presentation.
I
thank
you
so
much
for
attending
and
listening.
I
realize
how
hard
it
is
to
listen
to
one
person
talk
it's
it's!
It's
not
the
best
way.
I
can't
wait
to
have
you
guys
back
in
school.
Please
come
into
school.
Make
appointments
make
a
point
with
your
your
your
child's
counselor
make
appointment
with
your
school
counselor
make
stop
by
the
office.
If
you
don't
have
an
appointment,
no
big
deal
come
by
the
office.
If
any
of
us
are
available,
we
really
enjoy
talking
with
you.
C
So
keep
that
in
mind.
Finally,
before
I
end
this,
oh
actually,
I'm
I'm
gonna
end.
This
slide
show
now,
and
I
want
to
go
to
answer
the
one
question
about
gaap
here:
okay,
the
single
best
thing.
Let
me
see
how
do
I
want
to
say
this?
Okay,
there's
a
gap
year
fair,
it
is
filled
with
people
that
know
so
much
about
gap
year
and
know
so
many
opportunities,
and
that's
where
I
get
my
ideas
from
so
we
publicize
when
these
gap
years
are
going
to
happen.
C
We
have
information
too
from
last
year's
fair.
This
is
something
that
we
can
forward
to
any
interested
student.
I
can
tell
you
that
I
know
some
students
have
have
done
things
like
americorps
or
hooked
up
with
other
with
another
agency
that
is
serving
the
community.
I
always
think
that's
a
really
worthwhile
thing
to
do.
C
I
also
think
it's
equally
worthwhile
to
go
and
travel
and
explore
and
make
connections
with
people
and
and
learn
about
different
cultures
or
different
perspectives,
be
it
within
our
country
or
or
be
it
within
trying
to
do
a
work
experience
abroad.
So
that
is
a
short
answer
to
that,
but
either
have
the
parent
or
have
the
student
connect
directly
with
the
school
counselor,
and
we
can
give
you
materials
from
last
from
the
last
gap
year
affair
that
existed
last
year,
they
had
a
virtual
one.
