  PREPARING FOR THE SAT

  This course focuses on SAT test-taking skills and strategies. Recent studies have revealed that training and familiarization in test-taking techniques can increase scores.

  While no guarantees or predictors can be made, students will be brought to a level of familiarity and ease to reduce the sort of anxiety which lowers performance.  Model tests will be taken repeatedly to orient students to the format of the test. 

  The course is designed for 11th and 12th graders and consists of eight 2-hour coaching sessions of intensive preparation for the May 2,2020 SAT. This class is co-sponsored by the Barrington Learning Center and Barrington High School.

  FEE: $235.  The fee includes course tuition, the required text and test materials.

  C.S. Lewis: The Life and Works of the Compelling Christian:

  In this five-week course with instructor Teresa M. Testa, students will engage with the life and literature of the renowned twentieth-century author Clive Staples Lewis. As witness to variable human moralities as well as the beneficial qualities of human nature such as faith, love, and honesty, C. S. Lewis's philosophical works establish and celebrate the relationship of ethics to living with dignity. While relating one’s personal ethical and religious beliefs to the central themes within the works, students will focus on the required reading of Mere Christianity as well as selected excerpts provided from the author's additional anthology including: The Problem of Pain, The Screwtape Letters, The Abolition of Man, The Four Loves, and A Grief Observed. Prepare for the unexpected as we embark on a search for the definite amid the indefinite while studying the ever fascinating and brilliant moral philosopher.

  To be acquired for the first session: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (unabridged, any edition).

  The Holocaust - A three part exploration on the Holocaust: 

  Teaching about the Holocaust, and using Elie Wiesel’s Night as a guiding text has been part of Barbara Wahlberg's teaching for almost 30 years.  You might say it has turned into a mission. This workshop will be three-fold. The first meeting will be specifically to discuss the reading of the book NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. There will be guided questions, but attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss whatever is on their minds about the Holocaust. On our first meeting, additional reading materials and web links will be provided for further discussion. At the next two meetings, ranging we will explore the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website, and discuss further readings and films. Ms. Wahlberg will also discuss her involvement with the 2016 Rhode Island State Law mandating Holocaust and Genocide Education in the public schools, as well as telling about her own journey which brought her to this point in her career.

  This will be a three part class  - April 30, May 7, May 14,
