Capstone Process

  • Major Components of the Capstone Experience

Each student must complete:

  • A Project Proposal which delineates the focus and four learning goals for their project. One learning goal must be tied to a SWHS academic expectation and one learning goal must be connected to a civic or social expectation.
  • Research Logs which document the information gathered as the student works towards meeting their academic goal.
  • Completion of Capstone Project / Work Logs or Time Log where the student carries out the project that was designed or complete the hours required of a job shadow/community impact project. To keep track of this process the student will be completing a form verifying the number of hours that completed on the job shadow experience, community impact project or student interest project.
  • A Reflection Paper where the student makes connections between their project and the importance of individual learning, collaboration and being a life-long learner.
  • An Oral-Visual Presentation where the student takes their audience through the process they used to reach their four learning goals, their struggles and achievements along the way and highlights their new learning.
  • All work is to be submitted via Google Classroom.
