Senior Demonstration

The focus of the Bolton High School Senior Demonstration is to engage each student in a personalized learning experience.  The project allows students the opportunity to apply and to demonstrate interdisciplinary skills and knowledge while investigating a specialized area of interest that is supported by an adult mentor or Independent Study teacher.  Each student will have the assistance of a faculty advisor to guide the student through this project, as well as an adult mentor who has specific knowledge of the area the student has chosen to explore.

 The Senior Demonstration is a graduation requirement.   Evaluation of each student’s Senior Demonstration will be conducted by the Senior Demonstration Evaluation Committee, and will include:  1) a review of all written components including journals and research paper  (to include input from advisors and mentors); 2) rubric scores of presentations on Demonstration Evening; and 3) student’s self-assessment.   Students will receive a rubric score at the completion of their projects following the Demonstration Evening that encompasses all components listed above.  In order to meet the graduation requirement, students must receive a score of 4 (Meets Requirement).  A student must earn a score of 6 in order to be designated as having completed the project “with distinction.”
