What is the Caldwell County Schools Graduation Project?

 

The Graduation Project is a multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary performance assessment completed over time. The CCS Graduation Project provides students the opportunity to connect content knowledge, acquired skills, and work habits to real world situations and issues.

Through the graduation project process, students will engage various specific skills that include: computer knowledge, employability skills, information-retrieval skills, language skills - reading, language skills - writing, teamwork, and thinking/problem-solving skills. The Graduation Project consists of four components (a research paper, product, portfolio, and an oral presentation) culminating in a student's final year of high school. Student engagement in the graduation project process and the completion of the graduation project demonstrates the integration of knowledge, skills, and performance.
