Academy of Liberal Arts
Independent Study Project

An important aspect of the liberal arts magnet experiences is getting students to learn how to reflect on their school work, extracurricular activities, and life experiences in a way that demonstrates their knowledge, skills, and abilities.  A portfolio can provide an alternative method of assessing a student’s performance and provide reliable and valid information on the student’s accomplishments. As a student completes new course work and becomes involved in new activities, these accomplishments are added to the portfolio and are used to identify connections between post-high school plans, high school course plans, extracurricular activities, and guidance activities. 

Attached you will find grade level requirements and rubrics for Independent Study Project and Senior Portfolio.
