Biotech Academy
Cool Things -
Teachers mentor the students, very involved in their life. My fave quote "He once jumped over a fence to keep me from skipping school".
They target At-Risk students. I hate to say it but it ticks me off when we get all feelings and fuzziness and forget academics with at-risk kids. It is nice to see a science based academy trying to bring in students who would normally be in the "easy" classes.
Mentoring from businesses. Students get to do a lot of hands-on work and are teamed up with real-life biotech professionals.
What We Can Do - - Go the extra mile trying to get students in school and stop letting them skip - Never forget the kids that are failing may have fantastic academic potential - Get more professionals in to work with my studentsThank you for Edutopia for bringing us information about Biotechnology Academy!
