FCCLA Team WINS NY State Competition! Two high school students competed at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) New York STAR (Students Taking Action for Recognition) Events competition on April 3rd at the hudson Valley Resort in Kerhonkson, NY. Meranda Bell from the School of Clobal Commerce and Johanna Stone of the G.E. School of Humanitites and Culture teamed up to compete in the Applied Technology event. And, they WON! Meranda Bell and Johanna Stone won the gold medal in the Junior Division and the opportunity to represent NYS at the National Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee in July. The two prepared a slide show featuring child development theories on guided learning. Their presentation included photographs taken of them with young children participating in an activity. They photographed older students demonstrating to the younger ones how to turn pages of a book and write their names. Both cases show that following the hands-on demonstration, the young children can engage in an activity without assistance.
