Senior Capstone
C O U N S E L I N G & C A R E E R C E N T E R
The mantra of the Capstone is TRANSITION. You will transition away from subject-centric learning to a real-life experience that the you believe to be relevant to your next stage in life. You will utilize the knowledge and skills you have acquired over the past 12 years in school, as well as many 21st century skills, to successfully complete Capstone.
The Capstone will showcase your abilities in reading, writing, public speaking, critical thinking, planning and implementation, self-discipline, problem solving, and organizational skills. The goal of the Capstone is for you to stretch - to participate in and demonstrate a new area of learning and growth.
Most importantly, the Capstone should focus on an area about which you are passionate and be something you will have FUN doing!
You will develop a Capstone project with the assistance of your teacher as well as the Capstone Coordinator, Brian Rose, who can be reached brose@allprep.us or 503.974.5135.
