Senior Project Advisory Board
Senior Project Advisory Board
Comprised of SP teachers, school building leadership, as well as district administrators, the Advisory Board is an important component of the program.
Roles of the Board:
- Approve/Clarify/Deny project proposal forms in October
- Clarify: Most students who get a “Clarify” stamp on their project proposal form did not describe their project in enough depth. Be sure to make your proposal clear enough that anyone could read it and immediately understand what it is that you hope to undertake with your Senior Project.
- Deny: Students who get a “Deny” stamp on their project either have 1) Proposed something that does not constitute a learning stretch for themselves 2) Have an SP idea that is objectionable in light of school policy
- Establishes SP deadlines and makes official adjustments if needed throughout the school year
- Meets with students who fail in any component of the SP process
Advisory Board meetings typically are held during period 3 in the SP office. Any student who needs to meet with the Board will be notified by their SP teacher, a note/pass, or a phone call home.
