February: Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations
February: Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations
Sounds like – “this reminds me of….This is just like the time when I…..?”
Looks like – Explaining what is happening based on previous experiences.
Feels like – I am able to move forward with……. because I know that last time….. (making connections)
Students that are good at applying past knowledge to new situations recall how they have solved a problem previously. These students make connections and understand the relationship between the previous problem and the new one. They are able to encapsulate their experience and apply it to new learning. They are able to draw forth from one event and apply it in another context. This habit builds confidence and allows students to understand new learning much faster than students that do not apply this habit as well.
“I’ve never made a mistake. I’ve only learned from experience.” Thomas A. Edison
Information on Habits of Mind are taken from the book Habits of Mind by Costa and Kallick.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT TEST (ACT)
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT TEST (ACT)
ALL JUNIORS will attend school on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 for ACT testing.
All 11th graders will be required to create their own MyACT. org account, which must be completed no later than 2 days after the test. The account will be set up in their U.S. History class. If the student is fully remote, they need to contact Dr. Moulden to obtain their packet. All packets need to be picked up by February 19th from Dr. Moulden.
The assessment takes approximately 5 hours for most students, including transition time and directions. Due to this being a high stakes test, the following rules will be strictly enforced:
Students should arrive at CHS no later than 7:30 a.m. on February 23rd with their I.D. If a student shows up after the ACT directions have begun, the student will not be able to test.
CHS does not provide calculators for the ACT. However, students have been provided an ACT calculator policy, which can be found on the "Taking the ACT Test" booklet that each student will receive when they create their account.
Students will not have access to their cell phones or Apple/Droid watches during the test. If a student tries to access their cell phone or Apple/Droid watch at any time during testing, their test will be invalidated, and the student will be removed from testing. If at all possible, please leave these items at home!
Student will not be able to have access to their backpacks during testing.
If students bring water, and or snacks, they must take them out of their backpack, and put them in an area designated by the room supervisor/proctor. Students will be able to have their water and/or snacks during breaks, outside of the testing room.
ACT is an academically rigorous test. It is recommended that students get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy, well-balanced breakfast, and arrive early with a positive attitude for success. You've got this!!!
Beyond the obvious applications to academic advising and counseling, high schools use the results to:
Evaluate the effectiveness of instruction
Identify students who need assistance with certain subject areas or academic skills
Plan changes and improvements in the curriculum
Colleges
Colleges
As a college entrance exam, higher education institutions are looking at scores to help predict class profiles and overall academic success, and to address other factors needed during admissions and enrollments, such as:
Admissions decisions: Results from the ACT, high school grades, academic preparation, out-of-class accomplishments, and future plans—these and other kinds of information help admissions officials identify applicants who can benefit most from their programs.
Course placement: Colleges usually try to take into account individual strengths and weaknesses as they place students in first-year courses. For example, a college may offer three sections of a subject—developmental, regular, and advanced. A student's results on the ACT, academic background, and high school grades might be used to determine which section would be most appropriate.
Academic advising: College academic advisors may consider results on the ACT, high school academic program, high school grades, planned extracurricular activities, areas in which there is a need for assistance, and part-time employment plans to tailor an appropriate program of study to a student.
Scholarships and loans: Some scholarship and loan agencies may use results from the ACT information such as high school grades to identify qualified candidates. However, the agencies may not look at academic potential alone. The ACT score report provides information about a student's educational needs, extracurricular achievements, and educational plans. This information, along with high school grades and test scores, helps the agencies evaluate applications for scholarships, loans, and other financial assistance.
