Senior Capstone
From TSAS Library
Overview
The Senior Capstone is the culminating component of the TSAS HOUSES curriculum and graduation plan.
It is designed to be a bridge between each student’s high school learning and their plans after high school: college, vocational or applied training, work, or other real-world endeavors.
The Capstone will be unique to each senior and carefully designed to be meaningful and relevant. Each senior works with a faculty Capstone Advisor to support their progress and success.
Each Capstone Has Three Components
- Capstone Experience: A year-long individualized learning opportunity beyond the traditional classroom that connects to each student’s unique interests and their future
- Concurrent Enrollment at TCC or Tulsa Tech
- Internship, Work Study, or Service Work
- Visual or Performing Arts Portfolio or Performance Creation (includes work as Student Aid)
- Capstone Project: Each senior collects highlights of their learning from their year-long experience and creates a unique project that presents a focused part of their learning or personal development
- Capstone Showcase: Each senior prepares a public presentation of their capstone project for a Senior Capstone Showcase event. Some successful presentations formats:
- Ted Talk style video
- Poster Session: “Science Fair Model” with student presentation
- Constructed experiment/object with supporting materials
- Art show of visual works or Artist Talk
- Performance of performing pieces
- Created and edited film/music production
- Others by design and approval
