ACT Prep for High School Students

This course will help high school students prepare for the American College Testing assessment. Students will learn test-taking strategies from a Princeton Review-certified ACT tutor. The course covers English, science, math and reading over four weeks, including a day of review and a practice test.

Although this preparation course is aimed at the ACT, the strategies and review have been shown to also improve scores involved with the Scholastic Assessment Test. Students must be at least 16 years of age to attend. This course starts Feb. 4 and runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.

Introduction to Computers (Windows 7)

From education, work and even daily functions, computers are an ever-growing presence within the lives of each individual. In this course, students will learn basic computer navigation and basic skills that will allow them to open and create documents, work through different programs, and even safely move through the internet. The instructor will also work with students to answer questions that they may have about their own computers. This can benefit either the casual computer user or those learning for employment. This class will run on Tuesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon and costs $75. It will begin Feb. 7.

The Incredible Years: Teacher Classroom Management Training

In partnership with the Beaufort-Hyde Partnership for Children, BCCC is excited to offer “The Incredible Years” teacher class. The course strengthens classroom management, promotes social skills in young children and reduces incidence of classroom aggression by having teachers learn through open discussion, real-life vignettes, role playing and learning to create and implement behavior plans. The program dynamics include: building positive relationships with students and parents; proactive planning; using teacher attention; encouragement and praise; motivating students through incentives; increasing frequency of more appropriate behaviors; and teaching positive emotional expression and self-regulation to young children. This course is recommended for teachers of children ages 3-8. The costs of textbook/materials will be paid by the Partnership for early educators in Beaufort and Hyde counties. Students outside of these counties must pay a textbook/materials cost of $115.90 and can purchase them on the first night of class. This online class started Jan. 7. To learn more about professional-development technical assistance associated with this course, or for a complete cost list of required materials, please contact Justin Rose at 252-940-6262.
