Students have different learning needs and requirements. My placement school acknowledges this difference and allow students to participate in extracurricular activities they are interested in. This school had a wide range of dance, sports and STEM programs that students can participate in. It is important that schools provide programs for students that allows them to develop skills, knowledge and experience in subjects they are interested in. This not only motivates the students, but gives them something to look forward to.
At my placement school, all students are expected to participate in social and cultural events, such as swimming carnival or athletics, even VCE students. I feel it is important that students get to participate in these

I am doing my externship at Abeltin & Migoya LLP. Currently, I am assisting the supervising attorneys with drafting and responding to discovery. The first goal I would like to accomplish during the externship is to develop client interviewing skills. The second goal is to develop and learn good lawyering skills. The third goal is to build more confidence in asking questions and approaching new projects. I discussed all three these goals with my supervising attorney on the first day of my externship.
My first year at GRA was coincidentally this year making this my last. I may not have been here long but of course, compared to my old school and within the events of my 7th grade school year, this has evidently been the best and worst school year of my life. From Kindergarten all the way until 8th grade my elementary and middle school experience has been vice and unconscionable, to say the least, but of course, within all the faults and terror that was and unfortunately still is my middle school experience there still are quite a few things about this school and my old school that still positively resonate within me that keeps me moving forward and looking (almost) positively toward my artistic future.
Collin Powell once stated that, "The commander in the field is always right, unless proved otherwise." in this situation I don't stand with our commander of this school on that extracurricular activity should be mandatory. As a student of Elizabeth Davis Middle School, making extracurricular activities mandatory for students to do isn't probable because of some of the challenges the students may face by participating, such as students with responsibilities at home, a student may be uncooperative, and there grades. Students who attend school are there to choose there own path and make decisions on how they see themselves in the distant future, they shouldn't have to choose an extracurricular activity if he or she does not feel like that
When there are less kids, there is a greater opportunity for kids to be involved. They can be in several sports, performing arts, or any group they desire. I was involved in volleyball, football managing, basketball, track, cheerleading, softball, choir, and student council. I was always busy with projects or practices “promotes an overall feeling of unity and social solidarity (Schaefer 2016:18). Activities and “sports serve as a safety value for other participants and spectators, who are allowed to shed tension and aggressive energy in a socially acceptable way” (Schaefer 2016:18). At big schools, not every kids has a chance to be involved and so they have to get their anger out some other way, which can lead to bad things. Since I have been involved in many activities and had ways to relieve my anger I do not need another way; therefore, I have not gotten into bad situations. I am satisfied that I haven’t missed out on an activity that I have wanted to do because of my school. Sadly, this does not happen in all schools. Many large schools do not give the students the same chances because there is more competition. At these schools, kids have to compete to be on an extracurricular team. They really have to specialize in the organization or else they do not have the opportunity to be a part of the activity. Many have to specialize in this extracurricular activity
Massoni (2011) claims that extracurricular activities have a positive influence on student’s academic performance, he states extracurricular activities are associated with better grades and school completion and higher academic achievement (p.2). Many community college extracurricular activities require students to maintain a certain grade point average to participate, which forces students to do well academically if they wish to continue their involvement in particular extracurricular activities. Therefore, student involvement in extracurricular activities requires students to be accountable for their academic
I have never really been a traditional learner. Since around 1st grade I was in accelerated classes with 7th and 8th graders, and I loved the feeling of being in a more mature place of learning. I think being around people much older my whole life, being on my actual academic level seems slow and easy to me. This past year, I thought the solution to this would be to do online school full time, however I've come to miss the feeling of an actual classroom setting because I want to be a teacher in the future. Being in a class room setting and interacting with teachers furthers my career goals because I feel like I'm constantly gaining information on what I do and do not want to do as a teacher.
For hundreds of years it has been recognized that not all learning takes place in the classroom. Students mental and social development also occurs outside the classroom in athletics, music, and clubs. No matter what club the student is involved in, he/she fosters organizational, interpersonal, communication, planning, critical thinking, financing, and evaluation skills. A club gives students the opportunity to combine components of their mental and social development into personal action. These students have opportunities to test their skills and talents in different situations. Students will always work together to set goals, develop action plans for achieving those goals and implement those plans. Doing so, students could develop and maintain working relationships and friendships. The soul of a club is the students, but it also consists of many things that happen behind the scenes.
Teaching is much more than just work inside of a classroom; it is our job as a teacher to get to know our students, on a personal level, inside and out of school. An excellent way to perform this task is through extracurricular activities within the school corporation. Throughout this expectation, I will demonstrate how my knowledge, and participation, in extracurricular activities has bettered my student relationships, and thus bettered my teaching.
Just about every high school in the United States provides students with the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, volunteering, music, academic or interest clubs, and student government . The question arising is whether low income students are less likely to participate in these extracurricular activities. Understanding the causes and reasons behind the significantly lower amount of extracurricular activity participation among low socioeconomic students incites a systematic approach to a solution. If impoverished students are unequally participating in extracurricular activities compared to high-income students, than they are also deprived of the procured benefits such as leadership experiences and social
My school's principle regards the idea that each student should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. This notion has been a controversial concept around the globe. Lots of people believe that students should have to participate in after school activities, but on the other hand some do not. Some students don't show interest in many things in school, however, they do show interest in things such as drugs and alcohol. In my experience of Student Council an extracurricular actives, I found it enjoyable and fun. I made so many new friends and helped out in my community. Most kids participate in sports, student yearbook staff, and other teacher sponsored clubs which are great after school activities, they also teach kids many
Throughout the development of a child, one way for growth has been through the practice and enrollment in various extracurricular activities. As per defined in the dictionary, extracurricular activities (ECA), are activities outside the normal curriculum of school; the activities are voluntary and can range from social activities to philanthropic activities, like swimming volleyball, etc. Children getting enrolled in these activities raise a lot of controversy. One side of the debate believes that forcing children into extracurricular will be of benefit to them. The benefits arise from assisting in the development of the child, skills to be learned, lessons to be taken in, opportunities, and several more. On the other hand, the other side
The extracurricular activities students join will show colleges or universities who they are. Activities range from sports and the arts to interest clubs and community work, so children have plenty to choose from that will suit their array of interests. Mandatory extracurricular activities will encourage children to explore and try different clubs or sports that promote important development skills through enjoyable experiences. Children develop time-management skills, build self-esteem, and practice goal setting with extracurricular activities.

Findings from this study could be examined by Solanco High School and similar school districts to support and promote programs of extra curricular activities at...
Imagine walking across the stage in just a few years from now. Having thousands of eyes pointed at you as you take that emotional walk to finally receive your high school diploma. After a few years when you have graduated high school and started life, you're going to look back and think, what have I accomplished so far? Extracurricular activities can be very beneficial for students now, and those in the future as well. They can allow you to feel like you have accomplished something while in school. Extracurricular activities are important because they can benefit a student through personal, educational, and even social means. It is a great idea to get more students involved in extracurricular activities and parents should begin to give their kids a little push to get them more involved.
