1 EAST DUPLIN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION PROJECT HANDBOOK

2 East Duplin High School Graduation Project Overview Congratulations seniors! This year will mark some of the most meaningful work you will produce during the course of your high school years--the Graduation Project. The Graduation Project is a requirement (in addition to all other Duplin County School s graduation requirements) for East Duplin High School Seniors to graduate and receive a diploma. Done well, the Graduation Project is an opportunity for you to learn more about yourself and your community, to gain an appreciation for a new skill, to create a unique product; and to simply do something you will learn from and remember for years to come. Your project will culminate in an oral presentation before a panel of EDHS teachers, staff or community members. The Graduation Project will provide you with the opportunity to pursue an issue or topic that is of personal interest. You will demonstrate the acquisition of new knowledge, experience and skill by producing a product, compiling a professional-level portfolio, and delivering a presentation before an EDHS panel. You are expected to take appropriate risks and stretch your learning so as to grow both intellectually and emotionally. All projects must be approved by the Graduation Project committee. Students are encouraged to take on a project, which will be of benefit to the community/society. Projects may be denied approval if they do not fulfill the service or career requirement or if projects are deemed inappropriate or dangerous. There are four components to the Graduation Project, listed below: 1. PORTFOLIO 2. PRODUCT 3. PAPER 4. PRESENTATION/POWERPOINT Remember, your faculty advisor is there to assist you by coaching and advising on resource requirements necessary to make this a most positive experience. Establish open lines of communication early and you are well on your way to success. April

3 FACULTY ADVISOR The Faculty Advisor s role is to help students through the Graduation Project process. The Faculty Advisor ensures that students receive the tools and information needed to successfully complete their Project. The Faculty Advisor serves as a facilitator, instructor, and coach. They instruct students in both the planning and implementation of the Graduation Project as well as teach specific skills (such as time management, research, effective presentation, and clear writing). The culminating project is an unpredictable process. As a whole, only a few Graduation Projects are completed without modifications and revisions, based on the advisor s input. Students will test their ideas, make mistakes, and modify their plans. A Faculty Advisor doesn't have to have all the answers, but helps students work collaboratively with resources. They help students troubleshoot, find alternative solutions, and resolve problems. Our goal is to be creative in helping students find the answers for themselves. FACULTY ADVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES Assisting the student in understanding the requirements of the Graduation Project Supervising and advising students throughout the process, including conferring with the student regularly and completing the Progress Report Providing expertise or referring the student to others for expertise in the project knowledge area Checking to see that appropriate research methods, technology, and review procedures have been employed Keeping a record of the student's progress Notifying parents/guardians if the student is behind schedule or experiencing any other problems that put them at risk of not meeting the standard. Advisors should use the Parent/Student Acknowledgement and Release Form to document advisees progress (or lack thereof), parental contact, etc. Sanctioning the readiness of the project to be presented to the review panel OUTSIDE MENTOR You must have an outside mentor that will assist you throughout your project. This mentor must be at least 25 years old and be knowledgeable about the topic you have chosen. The mentor MUST NOT be an immediate family member. Immediate family members include: mother, father, brother, sister, and grandparent(s). The mentor will be responsible for signing your time sheet and verify your work on the project. INTEGRITY AND ETHICS Plagiarism, dishonesty, and cheating are unacceptable and have serious consequences. Forging signatures or initials or providing false information on check sheets is dishonest. Not completing the work as you have agreed to is an ethical issue. Be careful to complete all parts of the project as approved. Each student is required to complete the Ethical Commitment form and submit it with the Parent Release Form. Be a man/woman of your word; be honest in your work. April
