Subject: Re: [CASL-L] Capstone
Here in East Hampton, all seniors complete a Capstone project as a graduation requirement. Currently (and for the last few years) we’ve been working on it via English classes with a culminating expo in the spring; the school and community are invited to that and it is set up science-fair style. Next year, though, we’re rolling out a half year Capstone course that students will use to fulfill part of their English requirement as well as complete their Capstone project. I collaborate closely with the English teachers on many aspects of the project, including research and creating annotated bibliographies. We don’t require a formal research paper as part of ours, so the annotated bib is where they show that they’ve thought critically about their topic and the sources they chose. I’d be happy to chat more with you about our program. We got a lot of good ideas from Mike Mal at Bacon Academy; they have a great program there!

Subject: [CASL-L] Capstone
Hi everyone,
I asked my principal about Capstone projects today, and I think I opened up a gigantic can of worms. Now I'm looking for advice on how other school districts handle it. If your school has a Capstone I'd love any information you'd be willing to share. I'm looking for specific on the following:
* What grade level is it done in?
* Half year or full year?
* Does it count as a grade?
* What is your role with the project as an LMS?
* How are teachers involved?
* How is it presented at the end? (small group, science fair-style, community event?...)
Feel free to email me off list. I appreciate your help!
Tenley

“The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade point average-- though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.” - R.J. Palacio, Wonder

Subject: [CASL-L] Survey - services for English Language LearnersHi All ---I am taking an online educational technology course called Applying Ed Tech to Practice. Part of the requirement includes determining a difficult problem in our school and reaching out to colleagues to gather information to help solve it. In my research on the topic, I have been surprised to see how little has been written regarding services to ELL students - something I have been struggling with in my work. When you get a free moment, could you please take this survey on how your media center provides services to ELL students? It should take about 10 minutes, is anonymous and would earn you my gratitude.Thanks for your help with this!Dave
