A-110 • The Honors Program also supported the start of a Forensic Science elective course, in which students are able to participate in various activities related to collecting, analyzing, and understanding forensic evidence. • The Honors Program continued operating the MSSD chapter of the National Honor Society and the Academic Bowl team. The Academic Bowl team finished fourth in the regional competition. • KDES moved to an integrated approach for Honors Program services, and the most advanced students received differentiated instruction (special learning projects) to meet their individual needs. Dissemination Prior years. The Honors Program offered Summit 2005, an academic and leadership camp for deaf and hard of hearing students from across the nation. This two-week camp in June 2005 gave the 35 participants a wide array of experiences, ranging from exposure to AP curriculum to a journey through deaf history. The students came from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, including students from mainstream schools and schools for the deaf, students with cochlear implants, and two beginning signers. In June 2006, the Honors Program hosted Summit 2006, in which 41 students (18 returning for a second year) participated in additional academic, deaf history, and leadership activities at the Clerc Center. Returning students participated in a series of advanced leadership activities called the Summit: Extreme activities. In 2007, MSSD Honors Program teachers collaborated with public school teachers from surrounding districts to host the 2007 Weekend of Wisdom program. The KDES Honors Program also took part in Gallaudet University’s Kendall School’s 150th Anniversary Celebration by having KDES honors students participate in various activities, including making a special video/slide show for the celebration. In addition, MSSD teachers had the opportunity to participate in a discussion with leading AP teachers and were able to share their experiences with the MSSD Honors Program FY 2008 activities and/or product(s). • The AP “American Experience” class partnered with a school in North Carolina as part of a mentoring project for the class. As part of their relationship with the school, MSSD students were able to share about the numerous opportunities available at MSSD, including the Honors Program. • The Honors Program has become part of the Clerc Center’s routine operations and will not be reported in this section in future years.
