Josh Palic is participating in a Work-based Learning Opportunity through the Juelsburg Agriculture Education Department and working for the NRCS. This class allows Seniors who have been enrolled in Ag Education for 3 years to work for an Ag-based business within our community in a career area that he or she is interested in pursuing. This gives the student the opportunity to find out more about the career and help them determine if this is the career for them.
As part of his Work-based Learning, Josh recently assisted the NRCS with a soil health demonstration for the "back to our roots" training for NRCS in Fort Collins. Josh is doing an internship with NRCS as part of his senior requirements. Soil health is defined as the continued capacity of the soil to function as a vital living systems that sustains plants, animal and life.
Josh assisted with several demonstrations, including the wind erosion machine, rainfall simulator, aggregate stability and slake test. The training highlighted the core principles of soil health: keeping the soil covered, maintaining living roots as long as possible, minimizing soil disturbance, and promoting plant diversity with livestock integration.
Supporting gifted learners means understanding their strengths, interests, and individual needs. At JSD, each identified GT student has an Advanced Learning Plan, or ALP, to guide their learning and growth.
Last week, Mr. Calvadores emailed GT families and invited parents to help plan their child’s ALP goals for this school year. Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2, he will be available from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. to meet with parents.
We know our students are busy, so the goal is to create ALP goals that are meaningful, challenging, and achievable. Parent input is an important part of making sure each plan truly supports the student.
Please contact Mr. Calvadores at [calvadores_pa@julesburg.org] if you have questions or would like to meet.
