TAG Independent Research Projects

TAG Research Projects (9-12) (MAY BE REPEATED FOR CREDIT)

TAG Research Projects affords gifted identified students a self-directed learning experience. Students complete an independent investigation in an area of personal interest with the support of the gifted facilitator and a mentor. A final project, reading a core text, and presentation to peers is required. Students will contract on an individual basis for project activities. Options for investigations include but are not limited to the following: creating a service project to address a community problem or need; completing research and a project for a competition or academic program; completing a course not offered through our district through the use of online learning; completing advanced level study of a subject at an accelerated pace; or completing a mentorship/internship project with the assistance of a community professional. Students wishing to take TAG Research Projects must outline the area of investigation, resources, learning experiences, and project plan within the first week of the course. TAG Research Projects enrollment and projects will be subject to gifted facilitator and administrator approval. For more information, see the high school gifted facilitator.
