SOS AMBASSADOR MID-YEAR APPLICATION
We choose a total of 9 Ambassadors. You will need to possess the ability to work together as a group with extremely good communication skills. To be a member, you will need to commit time outside of SLJC to participate as an Ambassador. In the fall, the time commitment is more than later in the year, but competition points are expected to be posted weekly. If you don't have the time, don't apply - IF YOU TURNED IN YOUR LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE PDF IN LATE - DON'T APPLY THIS TIME, you can apply in the summer!  We are only choosing 3 members from the class of 2025 to be members for the 2024-25 year, with the remaining being named in summer 2024. These 3 members will learn from our current Ambassadors how to post points, what is expected of an Ambassador, and other helpful things in the hope of being more of a veteran in the coming year. MID-SEASON DUE DATE: November 15, 2023

LAST CALL!
OPTIONAL STUDY
Dr. Perrota is looking for some volunteers to help out with an upcoming study for social studies teachers! Next year is the 50th anniversary of the resignation of President Nixon and the pardon he received from President Ford. She wrote a lesson plan that involves high school students’ examination of what caused the Watergate Scandal, Nixon’s resignation from office, and whether Ford’s pardon was a fair choice. This is a topic that is still debated today! As a result, she is looking for students who would like to participate in a small study where Dr. P teaches you this lesson so that she can use work samples from the activities that she created to share in an upcoming publication in the National Council for Social Studies journal Social Education. Teachers from all over the country read this journal, and your work can help other social studies teachers teach about this historical topic in fun and engaging ways. Your feedback is really important. If you are interested, please let Mrs. Sanders know. Dr. P will send you an informed assent form and your parents an informed consent form to sign, which gives you permission to participate in this study. Dr. P would need 60-90 minutes to teach this lesson. She will most likely do this on Zoom to make it convenient for everyone to attend. This is optional and not mandatory for your enrollment in SLJC. You can quit the study at any time. There is no known risk for participating in this study.

With your permission, you will receive acknowledgements in the article for your role in trying out these activities. Please let Dr. P or Ms. Sanders know if you have any questions. The date and time of this lesson is to be determined based on everyone’s schedules. Thank you for your consideration and help with this project!
