HEALTH SCIENCES
EMT / Medical Assisting – The Emergency Medical Technician and Medical Assisting students participated in a mock emergency drill.
Patient Care Technician – Congratulations to the Patient Care Technician students who graduated on Friday!
HUMAN SERVICES
Cosmetology – the Cosmetology students showing off their creative skills.
LAW & PUBLIC SAFETY
FEMA Class – Students enrolled in the Urban Search and Rescue Heavy Equipment & Rigging Specialist class learned how to work with cranes and other equipment to rescue victims from concrete and steel entrapment. Students who attended were from fire agencies all over Florida.
TRANSPORTATION, DISTRIBUTION & LOGISTICS
Auto Service Technology – It’s hot in Florida in the summer so it is the perfect time to get the students engaged and eager to learn how a vehicle’s AC system works. This week they learned the tools and procedures needed to work on AC as well as how to diagnose a malfunctioning ac system.
ADULT EDUCATION
ESOL – Marvina Hooper and her ESOL students volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity house that is being built in Eustis. The students learned a lot and loved giving back to the community.
Adult Basic Education and GED Prep – A busy week for students in Adult Education this week as a record number of students took their TABE tests and made big LCP gains. Many students have completed their TABE requirements and have moved into GED prep.
Students and instructors missed Mr. Seidner this week due to his assignment off campus. Correspondence was flying back and forth to get students practicing and set up for their end of the year Language TABE retesting. Most students made gains and will receive their LCP’s and certificates!
The GED classroom has fewer and fewer students as we get to the end of the year. However, this is a good thing because students are passing the GED test!
On the reading front, students pulled from their previously learned skills and ventured into a unit on dystopian books: classical and modern. As a group, they chose one classic title and one modern title and did a compare/contrast. Are you familiar with 1984? Fahrenheit 451? Brave New World? How about Hunger Games? Maze Runner? Divergent? Our Adult Ed students are! And they understand the connection from the books to social awareness and political change.
Critical thinking and strategy skills were used to the further in a writing exercise of each student’s description of the ‘perfect world.’ No one was shocked that, in the end, all had the same foundational elements in common: end to violence, war, and discrimination and a place of peace, happiness, and fulfilling careers. And, if course…… lots of butterflies, ocean breezes, and happy thoughts.
