Goal

Earning an AICE Diploma could be a great opportunity for many students. An AICE Diploma will allow students to earn college credits while attending high school and attend university or college of their choice without worrying about the tuition. This process requires “Effortful thoughts” from students Candidates and “Deepen conceptual understanding” of the AICE materials.

The goal is to provide Students Candidates a tool that can enhance the rigorous process on how to Achieve the AICE Diploma like a “CHAMP”. It is a complex process, but with the right tool (Journal) and an effective Individualize Personal Plan, earning this diploma is possible for all students who are willing to implement the created strategies.  

What will be done with my students

As the AICE coordinator, I plan to meet regularly with the students Candidates. During this meeting session, I will be able to monitor how students are using the Journal; I will be able to witness their progress about achieving the AICE Diploma upon graduation.

Students will use the Journal to create a strategic plan on how to achieve the Cambridge AICE Diploma. With the Journal, Students Candidates will be able to create a Timeline on how to achieve the minimum of seven credits also referred to as exam points.

This Timeline will help students to learn how to communicate effectively with their guidance counselors frequently to schedule the needed classes accordingly, and with the AICE Coordinators regarding the complexity on how to select the class from each Group (Cambridge International AS Level Global Perspectives & Research) from subject groups 1, 2, and 3 (and optionally Group 4) to be awarded the Diploma.

Students will need to document the requirements (details) on how to achieve at least one credit (exam point) from each of Groups 1, 2 and 3.

A maximum of two credits that can count from Group 4.
A Cambridge International AS Level is awarded one credit, and a Cambridge International A Level is awarded two credits.

They will also need to note that Credits (exam points) towards the AICE Diploma are earned by passing the assessment attached the course.

Strategy Session with teachers and AICE Coordinator:
The Strategies Session will be divided in four phases: Communication, Researching, Reading, Writing,


Writing: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.1.A

Students will be writing emails to both their guidance counselors and or the AICE Coordinator to balance their schedule accordingly. The strategy of Know, Want to Know, Want to Learn (KWL) chart will be used to allow students identify what they already know about the program, and what they want to know, and what they want to learn about the process.

With this chart in mind their communication may be less confusing for all parties involved. I will go over the KWL Chart with them and I will encourage them to add that into their journal as well.

Researching/Reading: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.11-12.7:
Students will be conducting research to better understand the requirements for each Group (AICE classes). This information will be provided to them via the syllabus and their teachers will also cover that information. Nonetheless, make a note of it in the journal will make it more personable, to give them automaticity, and ownership of the process.



Writing/Communication: ELA.K.C.4.1 The writing is a continuity of the Researching and Reading components. Students will have the opportunity to elaborate and explain why they want to know more about the Groups of classes they had written in their KWL chart. Students can write or draw pictures to help them visualize their progress.

The goal is to help Cambridge AICE Candidates students to stay organize with the rigorous tasks involve into achieving an AICE Diploma upon graduation.



 

Benefits to my students

The ability to develop a clear “Individualize Personal Plan” Cambridge AICE Students Candidates will be able to stay on tasks with their classes day-to-day requirements, most importantly they will be able to seek necessary resources on how to prepare themselves to earn the Credits (exam points) towards achieving their AICE Diploma.
