TJ 9th Grade Transition Workshop
Theme: “How to be a Joyful Scholar”
Program Description: This one-week summer enrichment opportunity is available for incoming TJ freshmen who are interested in a non-graded, no-stress opportunity to meet with other TJ freshmen and some TJ teachers virtually to discuss and engage with topics including critical and creative thinking skills, collaboration, problem solving, academic integrity, and TJ culture. No academic content will be included and no student will be “behind” if not attending. Many of the soft skills will still be covered throughout the year. This opportunity is a jump start. There is no requirement to attend or expectation that an incoming freshman must attend.
Structure: Workshops will be held virtually daily for 2 hours a day (8 hours total). Students will be requested to use a device with an operable camera. There will be one non-credit bearing workshop a day. Each workshop will cover a different topic. At the conclusion of the program, students who attend every day will receive a certificate recognizing their commitment to being a joyful scholar.
