This is a Career Exploration opportunity for a LIMITED amount of students!<\/strong><\/em> Students will rotate through all program areas offered at BAVTS on a flex schedule during blocks 1, 2, 3 or 4 of their school day. By the end of the assigned semester, the students will have an opportunity to apply for a specific program for their 10th grade year. This is different from the traditional 10th grade student schedule of rotating through four programs before selecting their program of choice. This program gives the students a clear indication and FastTrack<\/strong><\/em> pathway to their potential career goals at the secondary level.<\/p>\n

9th grade students will attend BAVTS during the 2nd semester, either block 1, 2, 3 or 4. The first week consists of career exploration projects, the creation of a personal trait brochure, a tour of the entire school to better understand the layout of the school, and finally, rotation schedules. Weeks 2-11, students will explore each program for two consecutive days followed by a Slides presentation of their experience from their top 4 favorite programs. After those exploratory weeks, students may choose one (1), two (2) or three (3) specific program(s) or continue to rotate through programs for the remainder of the semester. The last three (3) days of the semester will consist of an exit survey, scheduling decisions for 10th grade, and a short essay describing why they would like to transition into a specific program, if they so choose.<\/p>\n

Students in the FastTrack program will be assigned to a homeroom teacher who will act as their teacher of record and rotation facilitator. The student will be responsible for gathering their performance data from the assigned program instructor, who will provide a daily work ethic grade.<\/strong> The form used to gather this information will be handed in every Monday for the previous week.<\/p>\n
