GOALS of Connections

• to help students see the connections between the various disciplines within the school and their interests.

• to bring reality into the classroom

• to spark student interest and perhaps lead to future goal setting

FORMAT of Connections

1) Each student in grades 9 -12 in the high school will develop a project which will cross at least two disciplines. The project will count for credit in two (2) courses. With permission from a subject teacher and the administration grade 12 students may design a project related to one discipline.

2) Students may work individually or in a group of two (2). Each student will submit a proposal for a project, subject to the approval of the teachers involved. This proposal must be given to an advisor. Students must be aware of the criteria for each course.

3) Four (4) afternoons will be designated as times to work on projects. Normal classes will be cancelled for these afternoons.

4) Projects will be presented and evaluated at a Connections Fair.
