Driving Question: Optional Inquiry Project - Create a Capstone Presentation reflecting back on your learning journey thus far and preparing for the next stage of life.
TEACHER DESCRIPTION and / or REFLECTION:
In this project, students reflected on significant learning experiences and significant people in their lives and then created a transition plan for life after high school. They identified an intended Career Path, and researched the education or training required to get there. The students also articulated what they will be doing next year, and how they plan to pay for that.
STUDENT REFLECTIONS:
Creating and presenting my capstone project was an incredibly enriching experience. Not only did it deepen my understanding of my chosen career path in dearth, but it also provided me with valuable skills and knowledge that will aid me in my future endeavors. The process of researching, creating and putting together my project was not only educational, but also enjoyable. It was a great opportunity to dive deeper into a topic of interest and explore new ideas and perspectives. Through this experience, I also had the opportunity to learn about the career aspirations of my classmates, further expanding my understanding of the field and broadening my perspective. The support provided by the instructor and class discussions were vital in the development of my project and helped me to understand the material better. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunity to have taken this class and for the knowledge and experience gained through the creation and presentation of my capstone project.
