Caddo Parish- Amazing Shake Program- Transformation Zone Schools

The Amazing Shake Contest is held locally in the Transformation Zone (TZ). It is a contest derived from Ron Clark in Atlanta, Georgia.  It is a passion and labor of love by our superintendent, Dr. Goree because it develops the whole child.  

It focuses on teaching our scholars manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct. Prior to the competition, students learn the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught skills such as how to give a proper handshake, how to “work a room,” how to give a successful interview, and how to remain composed under pressure. The goal is to prepare our Scholars in the Transformation Zone so that they are able to present themselves exceptionally well for opportunities today as well as those that will come in the future.

 

The actual competition consists of case-scenario stations set up around their school and throughout the city that every Scholar must complete while exercising etiquette, composure, and savoir-faire. Top performers advance to the next level of challenges until there is, ultimately, one champion per school!  Fourteen Scholars will fly to Washington DC at the end of April and compete against other Scholars in their age category.  There will be three final Amazing Shake Winners for the TZ:  one elementary, middle, and high school Scholar.  Caddo Parish School System is one of over 100 districts around the world that are participating in the Ron Clark Amazing Shake Contest.
