Learning+Through+Internships



"Learning by Doing"-addresses the capstone experience mentioned in Secondary School Reform and also is integrated into the Student's Success Plan.

Students utilize the attached Learning Plan to show evidence of their learning and present what they have learned to their advisor, mentor and parent/guardian as well as other invited people at the end of their experience.

An __advisor__ is an educator who reviews student progress (Student Success Plan and Internship Learning Plan) through meeting with students in small groups, and using the wikispace for ongoing communication. The advisor would also work witht he student and mentor to create a project that the student will be working on during the internship.

A __mentor__ is a community member who agrees to provide a meaningful learning experience for the student. In some instances the student will do an internship at the mentor's workplace. In both cases, the student will complete a project as part of the internship that is directly aligned with the Student Success Plan and the mentor will be vital in providing guidance and feedback on that project.

Students may use the Discussion tab to reflect with each other on their learning experience.
