Project Summary
The purpose of this project is to expose students to important life skills that are typically not taught in school. Most of these lessons are ones that we as Specialists have had to learn the hard way and all are valuable lessons for everyone to hear and learn. We have invited many celebrity guests to help us teach “Things You Ain’t Learned In School.” This project has helped open the door for our guests to see the amazing students we have in IJAG. Things You Ain’t Learned In School also came at the end of the school year, which helped keep students engaged in May. The students also had to make a contribution by teaching their classmates a lesson that they learned through experience outside of school. Finally students kept a journal recording the important lessons learned from their classmates and our guests and how it applies to their life.
