The ACT is the preferred college entrance exam in the Midwest (including Oklahoma universities), while the SAT is used by most east & west coast schools. Although some general test-taking skills are offered, this class is focused on the uniqueness of the
ACT. Practice and preparation are known to improve scores. We will take small tests and discuss strategies in class; there will be very little homework. However, two times during the semester, a practice test will be offered that will take 3 hours and simulate the actual ACT. It is recommended that students be enrolled in Algebra 2 (or higher math) the same year they plan to take the ACT. This class will prepare students for the early December ACT (separate fee and facility).

Students will "solve" crimes by comparing fingerprints to catch a thief, unscrambling a coded message to stop a spy, analyzing handwriting to check for forgery, investigating soil samples to help a farmer, and identifying leaves to find a truck involved in a car accident. And that’s just the beginning. Each week, there will be a new crime to solve! Semester II will introduce kids to the world of electricity. Using hands-on projects, students will learn how electricity works, how it's made, how it travels, and how it's used in communications. Students will build circuits, a Morse code transmitter, a steady-hand game, and other fun projects that explore electronics. Supply fee covers all in-class project supplies and handouts. Parents are responsible for supplies used for projects done at-home. Students may be added mid-year with tutor's permission.

We will be learning the parts of the camera as well as learning what aperture is and how shutter speed works. Over the year we will be doing posed photo shoots, candid, and many different styles of photography. Your student will leave this class with a better knowledge of how to take a picture rather than just pointing and shooting. We will do basic editing, but the point of this class is to make editing optional and let your own knowledge and expertise shine through. They will have a portfolio started with their work.

Tutor: $28.00/month payable to tutor
Operational Fee: $17.00/month payable to CTC
This class is offered during the second semester of the 2013/2014 school year and will explore the various applications of debate skills in business and civic life. Students will discover the many ways in which debate skills prepare them for life. The students will learn through interaction and attain a greater confidence to participate in community leadership. The syllabus will include:
Logical reasoning skills Senate Floor Debate
Robert’s Rules of Order Judicial Litigation
Fundamentals of public speaking Oxford Academic Debate
Business and Civic Meetings and Conventions Biblical Resolution Process
Political Campaign Debate
In addition, students will learn why courtrooms utilize specific litigation processes since every citizen eventually is likely to enter a courtroom in some capacity during their lifetime. The world of politics will also be studied analytically to distinguish the ways in which debate in that arena differentiates from strict logical process. This will include an overview of Senate Floor Debate designed to teach students the process of creating laws and developing public policy. The exercises in Roberts Rules of Order will help students prepare for business meetings, church leadership, civic organizations, convention sessions, and corporate business process.
Several opportunities for extra credit will be available to the students by attending selected civic meetings and events and giving oral reports to the class. These outside events are not required, but they greatly enhance the learning process of debate. Opportunities will be facilitated for students to spend a week at the Oklahoma State Capital in the Legislative Page program. Individual and team debates will occur in various formats throughout the semester.
