 Create an initial post that addresses the following:

1. Share a minimum of three things you observed showing how teachers at Biotech Academy instigate and maintain student support and success. Be sure to consider what characteristics they have to have and what behaviors and practices they need to present to their students.

1. Describe the impact collaboration between teachers, parents, and students has on student success as well as having a spirit of cooperation instead of competition between students. 

1. Discuss two to three observations you made that show relevancy between Biotech Academy instruction & supports and what students need in post-secondary education and employment. Be sure to address how having such relevancy for student learning impacts their ultimate success.

1. Discuss how traditional school environments might learn from Biotech Academy and employ in their school culture so as to potentially increase graduation rates and matriculation to post-secondary education and employment for at-risk students.

 Provide specific feedback for anyone who may be reading your paper  regarding the relevancy between Biotech Academy and post-secondary education and employment,  and assume that person's viewpoint is the opposite of your perspective regarding traditional school environments adopting strategies similar to those demonstrated by Biotech Academy teachers. As mentioned in prior discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have provided you to further the conversation.
