Description:

This community-based learning experience will afford motivated seniors the opportunity to explore a career or postsecondary major interest in depth. The school mentor will meet with juniors in May and select a placement for the fall. A learning site analysis will be done to insure that ample and varied learning opportunities exist at the placement site. A written journal will be required, as well as other project and written assignments. Several aspects of each placement site will be explored, if possible. The course is on-half credit, with another one-half credit possibly available in the spring, depending on individual performance.
