THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY ALL OF THE GUIDEBOOKS/LETTERS THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED. PLEASE REFER TO THE E-MAILS, CG ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY THAT CONTAIN THE GUIDEBOOKS/LETTERS THAT CONTAIN ALL INFO. REGARDING MI 2018. THANK YOU.GREETINGS FROM THE MARCH INTENSIVE COMMITTEE!We are proud to bring you Hanover High School’s tenth annual March Intensive (MI) program. We are excited that March Intensive has been approved as a regular part of our school program. As a result, March Intensive participation will be recorded on each student's Secondary School Report, which is part of the Common Application for college. This year, the dates for March Intensive are March 14th-17th; Monday, March 13th will be a March Intensive workshop day when instructors will be making final preparations for their classes.
WHAT IS MARCH INTENSIVE?March Intensive is four days of diverse course offerings, organized and taught by staff, students, and community members.
WHO CAN TEACH?Staff or community members can volunteer to teach a course — community members must be partnered with HHS staff members. The course must support the objectives of March Intensive and be sanctioned by the March Intensive Committee, the Committee on Instruction, and the Dresden School Board. These requirements are in place to ensure that March Intensive offers a quality learning experience. Each course runs for four full-days, 8:00 AM to 2:55 PM (2:00 PM on Wednesday), or, if paired with another course, for four half-days, 8:00 to 11:00 AM and 12:00 to 2:55 PM (8:00 - 10:30 AM and 11:30 - 2:00 PM on Wednesday). Volunteers are encouraged to contact the March Intensive Committee for assistance in organizing their course schedules. It should be noted that more than one individual can be involved in teaching a course, and field trips consistent with the course objectives are encouraged.HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?Cost will depend on the design and offerings of a specific course. We encourage instructors to create as many $0 options as possible. In 2015, for example, over 65% of the programs were $0. Students who cannot afford the cost of a course should seek assistance from the March Intensive Committee. Scholarships will be available. While enrollment numbers per course may be limited, the large number and diversity of course offerings are meant to ensure a quality experience for all participants. Students and their families will have the responsibility of choosing courses that best match the students’ interests. SOME IMPORTANT DETAILSHere are a few things to keep in mind with this year's March Intensive:
SOME REGISTRATION DETAILS In late October, we will publish the list of March Intensive courses with instructions for course registration. Juniors and Seniors will come into Common Ground the next week ready to give their top eight choices to the March Intensive Committee; freshmen and sophomores will sign up the following week. More detailed information will be added in late October to the March Intensive website about each course under the “March Intensive” link on the HHS website. It is very important to think carefully about choosing courses, so all students have an interesting and positive experience. WE DEPEND ON YOUR GENEROSITY! Here’s to another great March Intensive! |
