If you sign up, please let your evaluator know who you will be observing. 1st 6 who sign up get to do it. Sign-up is on Betsy's desk.
Senior Project Survey
The mission of Senior Project is to create an opportunity for students to produce a culminating technical project that challenges them to demonstrate and display mastery of the technical, academic, and social skills needed for lifelong learning and success in a changing world.
One of our goals this year is to "Rediscover Senior Project" through the lens of the academies. In order to get a sense of what folks know and feel about Senior Project, Curran created a faculty survey to gather some data. We will use this and other methods to help rediscover and eventually re-imagine Senior Project. Please complete the survey prior to Tuesday so your voice can be heard.
