Enrollment Form (click Enrollment Form to go to the form)
1.)Select the programs in which you wish to participate. Consider the
following
a. How many students do you want to include? You do not
have the same students in every activity.
Are your students outgoing or shy? Shy students do not do well at academic bowl,
but may excel in the online tournaments or individual testing.
Are they involved in a multitude of other activities? If so, it may be hard to
schedule academic bowl tournaments around their schedules.
Do they test well? No? Then they may love academic bowl.
Do they like research? Oklahoma Road Rally is a great project.
Do they need challenged? Scholars Club will let them see how they compare to
other gifted students in the same grade. Scholars Club is self paced and student
driven. A student that does not work without supervision will not benefit from
Scholars Club
b. How much time do you have? That's a bad question! I
don't know of a single soul that has extra time on their hands. How much time
can you com- mit to academic competitions??
Academic Bowl Competitions will take 3-4 days either after school or Saturdays.
The amount of practice time will depend on your school and schedule.
Online competitions are divided so each section can be completed during an hour
class session. There are 5 different tests.
Road Rally research can be done as a class project or individually on their own.
One online tournament either during class or after school.
The Tournament of Champions will require at least one qualifying tournament
either after school or on a Saturday and, if your students qualify, the TOC on
April 19.
2.) Fill in the entry form and return it to the OAAC office by October 1.
Note: even if your purchase order information is not ready by October 1 -
send the enrollment information to insure your teams are included in this years
competition schedule with the notation to hold billing for p.o. #.
3.) Check the web site ~ at least weekly~ oaac.org ~ for confirmation and for
updates. If you do NOT normally check your e-mail or web site -- assign the task
to one of your team members.
