I am a CMHS Freshmen Academy teacher. The Academy has several events to acclimate our freshmen to the high school setting. One of these events is the “Freshmen Invasion”. This event allows students to “invade” or visit the facility before the upperclassmen arrive. They learn more about the journey in which they are embarking.
The Prezi linked below is one of the tools in which the Academy uses to share information with new students and their parents. Every year the presentation is updated to illustrate the years’ schedule, events and staff. All the of the academy teachers collaborate in one way or another to compile and share this information with students and parents; whether it is cooperating to have their picture taken, helping plan information to be included, making the actual Prezi, presenting at the invasion or answering questions students and parents have after the presentation. To make the Freshmen Invasion a successful event it requires team work from all freshmen teachers.
This Prezi is effective because, as new students enter a school for the first time they have a plethora of questions. Students want to know who their teachers are, how the school functions and what is expected of them. The Prezi below is used as a tool to guide the presenters while they address many student concerns.
