ALC Receives Accreditation Recommendation

Submitted by alan.ashton on

The ALC has been recommended for accreditation by AdvancED. An External Accreditation Team, led by Sharen Kamp, visited the school on September 29th, 2015. The accreditaion is good for 5 years and will be renewed in the 2019-2020 school year.

Memebers of the accredotation team visited all classrooms, using the AdvancED evaluation tool eleot(Effective Learning Enviroments Observation Tool).  The eleot scores placed ALC classrooms above the average of all observations scores in the AdvancED network of schools.  The eleot focuses on student engagement not on what the teacher is doing.

Engineering Design Gallery Walk

Students in the ALC's Introduction to Engineering Design class recently took part in a brainstorming exercise where they redesigned an ordinary coffee cup. Students then participated in a “gallery walk” where they gave feedback on each other’s designs. They wrote “I Like…” and “I Wonder…” in response to each idea. This protocol will be used throughout the course to help students give feedback as part of project based learning.

 

ALC Audio Production Field Trip

Submitted by khristen.massic on

ALC Audio Production class went on a field trip to BYU last week.  We also toured the audio and music facilities at BYU, with help from our guides Professor Steve Ricks and Professor Ron Saltmarsh.

We sat in on a Q&A with Kaskade, world famous DJ and electronic music producer. Later that night, Kaskade performed at the Provo Rooftop Concerts. It was packed. And amazing.
