At North Davie Middle School we want to teach our students manners, discipline, respect and how to conduct themselves in a professional environment. The Amazing Shake was created by the Ron Clark Academy and is an opportunity to test our students on these skills through a fun and memorable experience and enables us to engage with local business and community leaders on behalf of the school. The competition also introduces the students to the networks, roles, opportunities and career paths that they may not have been exposed to before.
During the Amazing Shake, the students learn and develop professional skills:
Giving a proper handshake
Professional conversation skills
Presentation skills
Problem solving skills
Handling unfamiliar situations
Poise under pressure
to prepare them exceptionally well for opportunities today and in the future.
