Le Drafts of the Pro - Pro Charts

Orientation/Recruitment geared towards applicants from TORONTO who we may know VERSUS students we do not know that may be from OTHER INSTITUTIONS/OUT of PROVINCE/INTERNATIONAL. Our newest task is to distinguish the tensions and find out who benefits by each tension and create a draft pro-pro chart. Later, Baycrest will visit us to check out where we are, and if we are on the right track.


 Before creating a pro-pro chart, we defined what the two tensions meant, one side for people who we may know and one side for people we do not know. Defining what they mean will help us have a better understanding of the two tensions.

 Next, we had to establish our stakeholders. We asked ourselves, who would benefit if the institution hired someone they know? Who would benefit if they hired someone they do not know? We decided to pick the RRI, students that get tapped on the shoulders and students that raise their hands. 

 Students that get tapped on the shoulders are students that are recommended while students that raise their hands are students applying on their own.

 We have our stakeholders and now we have to find out at least three ways the two tensions benefit each stakeholder. As you can see from the picture above, we were struggling with ideas. Even Mr. Essabhai told us this tension would be a challenge. 
On the day where Baycrest would visit, Christine and Joshua skipped a part of their morning class just to finish their draft pro-pro chart. Even if they skipped, they couldn't finish. Both of them could not think of one last benefit. They decided they should just ask Baycrest what they are missing. Remember, it was not too big of a deal because it is only a draft.


A few months ago, Mr. Essabhai told us this would be the hardest course in high school. Harder than physics, calculus, and chemistry. We did not believe him. Now, we understand what he means. This course pushes your thoughts and ideas to a point of confusion. No notes, nothing to study, only thinking and yet, we are all lost. It's hard to explain how difficult the course has been but we can definitely say it is harder than physics, calculus, and chem.

Aha Moments!: Baycrest's Asaf and Rosanne Visits JPCI

Image
On December 13, 2018, Dr. Asaf Gilboa and Dr. Rosanne Aleong went to visit us to hear our thoughts regarding the work that we were currently doing which is the Pro-pro Chart, as aforementioned in the past blog. The process would be: Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne would have time to sit in each group separately to help them express their thoughts and insights freely and without restrictions from each other. This would help us screen the information in a direct communication given by each of them without them framing each other's thoughts, for as we later on discovered, the two of them also have conflicts going on and have their own parts/themes they want to highlight.  We talked to Dr. Asaf Gilboa later after we had talked to Dr. Rosanne. In a short period of time, we found out two things from Dr. Asaf. First, he exhibits that the majority of the students coming into the institution are under the category of raising their hands, estimation of 90% and 10% under tapping shoulder

Interview With Jamison Steeve

Jamison wearing the maroon dress shirt, Nogah on his left. An addition to our trip to UofT, we were given an opportunity to interview Jamison Steeve. Mr. Essabhai and his previous classes have been going to UofT for interviews with other people. He would ask for someone who has an interesting and outstanding career. The purpose of the interview is for us to have guidance or a role model in life. Especially in terms of leadership and career choices. Hopefully, by doing the interview, we acquire a lesson that we can use in our own life. The best candidate is Jamison Steeve. The day before we interviewed Jamison, we were told to email Mr. Essabhai some questions. After, he gave every group a printed out sheet with questions. It was funny to see more than half of the questions Mr. Essabhai printed out, were created by Joshua and Christine. Most of the questions were answered even before it was asked. Jamison had an amazing quote that stood out to us, "Every job has a tax,

Second Draft of Pro-Pro Chart: Where Arguments Break Out After Asaf and Rosanne's comments; Before Mr. Essabhai's comments  2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – Other Institutions 2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – University of Toronto 1st draft Pro-pro Chart  After the meeting we had with Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne, we were faced with the challenge to improve our Pro-pro Chart while taking into account all the information we grasp from them. However, before we had the chance to think about filling out the missing benefit bubble of the Pro-pro Chart and making the existing ones solid and strong, sudden confusion and insight arose. Christine, one of the groupmate rises a point that turned the group into much deeper thinking process. She suggested that the students, one of the stakeholders, that were originally divided as the raising hands and tapping shoulders should be merged as one. This is because she saw that dividing the students would create redundant and flexi
