Mastery Based Diploma Assessment
The Mastery Based Diploma Assessment (MBDA) is a graduation requirement with this year’s senior class. This one credit experience provides our seniors with an opportunity to reflect on their years as a Milford Public Schools student in alignment with the district’s Vision of the Learner. On January 23, 2023, the seniors will gather in a special advisory session to learn about this opportunity. In subsequent advisories throughout the month of February, they will document their personal reflections. While the seniors are engaged in this work, our 9 - 11th graders will be participating in a Say Something training session with Sandy Hook Promise through Zoom.
Milford hosted its inaugural city-wide Model United Nations Conference at Parsons Government Center on Tuesday, 10 January. Spearheaded by Mr. Phelan, this conference represents the culmination of the work students have been doing in Model UN class all semester - learning about the various organs of the United Nations, researching world problems and specific country’s perspectives, writing position papers, preparing for debate, challenging each other during modified and unmodified caucuses, collaborating on resolutions and, ultimately voting on “solutions” to world issues. Students from both Joseph A. Foran High School and Jonathan Law High School attended the day-long conference. The committees and topics for this year's conference were:
Crisis Committee: Russia-Ukraine 2014
United Nations Environment Programme: Water scarcity
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees: Venezuelan refugee crisis
Mrs. Amy Rizzo visited the UConn ECE If You Love It, Teach It students to share her experience as an English Teacher, Library Media Specialist, and her current work for our district in professional development. Students were able to hear from several guest speakers over the course of the semester to give them first-hand information and answer their questions.
