Volunteers needed for High School Capstone Projects
Every year, seniors at MTRS complete a Capstone Project as part of their culminating high school experience. If you’ve come to watch Capstone presentations in years past, you know that our students accomplish amazing things and are so proud to share their work. In 2022, we’re refining the changes we launched last year, including having students define their own criteria of success and asking them to present to a panel of teachers, peers, and community members twice over the course of the semester. Check out the Capstone Website for more!
Modeled on a thesis dissertation, students will be convening a panel of 4-6 people who will meet twice a semester - once about halfway through and once at the end of the project - to watch their presentation, ask questions, give them feedback, and share responsibility for assessing their work. Later on, there will be an event where Capstone students can share and celebrate their work in a more informal setting.
What does this mean for you? Family and community members are an integral part of each student’s panel! You may be approached by an MTRS senior about being on their panel, and we’d also like to collect a list of volunteers who are interested in participating, but don’t have a specific student in mind. Please click here for more information and to sign up. Feel free to share this sign up form with your networks as well; students benefit from a wide pool of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to pull from. You can also email Capstone Coordinator Rachel Hoogstraten at rhoogstraten@mtrsd.org with any questions. Thank you!
