Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of participating in TAG in high school?
The Roswell High School TAG Program can assist students in developing both short and long term goals for their high school curriculum and beyond. Courses offered to students provide opportunities to explore a topic of interest with depth over time, to work with intellectual peers and professionals in a discipline, and to engage in creative thought and production in real-world settings.
What specific TAG courses are offered at Roswell?
Roswell High School offers Directed Study (where students design their own course of study), and Internship (where students are working in career fields in the community) for your student to earn TAG credit.
What is TAG Directed Study?
TAG Directed Studies are semester long elective courses that serve as one of the student’s six regular classes. In this course, a student is encouraged to engage in independent research and advanced problem-solving in a variety of possible content areas. The student, in conjunction with a TAG teacher, sets up a contract describing his/her course of study which includes goals and objectives, products, activities, resources, and methods of evaluation. Classes meet daily, and students earn a numerical grade for the course.
What is TAG Career Internship?
TAG Career Internships are offered to juniors and seniors only. After taking the seminar, “Hire Me!,” students may participate in a TAG internship, which provides on-the-job experience in a career field of interest to the student. A TAG career advisor places students with professionals in a variety of work environments. A student, along with his/her career advisor, selects the professional field for internship. Students register for internship as one of their regular classes and usually leave campus at the end of 5th period to attend work. Students earn a numerical grade in the course.
