Overview
Each student shall complete a Culminating Project
as a requirement for graduation. Culminating Projects are interest-based
and related to the students’ career pathway. The project is an opportunity for student’s to use academic skills and content knowledge to gain new, deeper levels of understanding.
Note: You must pass the Culminating Project in order to pass Web Design 3 & 4 regardless of your grade average in the class.
Students are challenged to extend their learning outside of class time on a project of their choice. The Project involves thinking analytically, logically, and creatively and integrating experience and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems. The project requires documentation and a summary in which the student discusses the importance of the learning and anticipates how performance, effort, and decisions will be applied in their future.
Students shall have two options from which they may choose to complete their project:
1) Enroll in an approved course that has been identified as meeting the requirements of the Culminating Project, or
2) Enroll to complete their project through an Alternative Learning Experience.
Web Design 3 & 4 is an approved Culminating Project course.
During their Sophomore year students shall identify which option they will pursue to complete their Culminating Project. Students who select the Alternative Learning Experience shall be required to meet specific timelines to assure timely completion of the Culminating Project. It is intended that students enrolled in an ALE to complete their project within one semester during their junior or senior year, and no later than the end of the first semester of their senior year or they will be required to enroll in an approved course. Students who participate in an Alternative Learning Experience shall follow the state and district requirements and procedures for Alternative Learning Experiences.
