when you become a
student at flextech various
reason I
came from a bigger school and
I felt like I had no place there was
not a good year for me and I think I see
would have continued to be just as horrendous if it wasn't
for the fact that I came here community
because
they all have different strengths that
we meet
kids where they're at based on that
as an individual
what tech is a
21st century school with campuses
in Brighton Farmington Hills and
Shepherd Michigan
check with each student in family to create
a more flexible schedule that works best for them they
are training for the Olympics
my stuff is based on line so we can do
it from places other than the school
and here has their own computer and they can
utilize R11 technology with Google Classroom
to interact with their teachers to complete their assignments and
also check on their status within a class
is just a lot more technology-based
which is sort of the way I feel like our
what's the temperature at work
and
we support our students and personalizing their learning
voice and choice within all the
project I always tell students I have an idea
for a project but if you have
different that would still accomplish with learning goals I'm
open to your idea of
wood burning or making things and
their Mastery through
project rather than the big pasture
because that's not how the real world works the real world
is about applying things that you've learned to do
something bigger the
culinary arts program is three unique
listen
to cancel draw their own herbs and vegetables
what would you do with all this vegetable now that's when the fun begins
to start talking back to you start talking about dips
and hors d'oeuvres and appetizers and
my youth
entrepreneur S-Class we're supposed to create a business
what's in this old building right in town and
then Shark Tank style they were given
the opportunity to present their business to a panel
of Judges it was really cool experience
and something I've always been passionate about
it's an awesome feeling to see
building their own businesses and bring those
products or services to the life physical
manifestation
of the idea and that
create pride in what we do here one
of the core pieces of flextech is our advisory
program High
School career
catch up on
missing work and make a game plan for
how you can be successful and our advisors
leave circles in their classic where
students can share about their lives and support
each other through High School remind
on
what they think about it
that we use an advisory called project wayfinder
help her students to discover their passion
identify their skills and use those to
establish their purpose in life and
they're excited about it
I had a senior he was really worried that he wasn't going
to graduate on time but she was
able to get the help he needed from teachers you really doubled
up on a lot of credit and seeing
him walk across the stage and shaking hand at
the end was just like such a great moment
I feel like they're ready stay ready
to jump to the world that do whatever they want
to do I'm
up working if I feel
I've been changed honestly this year
and the year before have been the best years of my life
it helps them to get back to who they really are and
to develop those passion so it's really giving
meaning to their learning it just sort
of feels like home
