Thank you for volunteering your time to serve as a Project Facilitator for a student involved in Senior Project at Etowah High School. This Project offers seniors a real world experience as they journey into a topic of their choice, one that they are passionate about and one that they link to a career. Throughout the year, they must pursue a rigorous, measurable learning stretch, as they complete each of the four components of the Project: a Research Paper, a Product, a Portfolio, and a culminating Presentation in May Senior Boards. Sustained Instruction: The PFs role may be to give sustained instruction in the form of a progression of lessons during which the student might learn how to scuba dive or how to communicate through the use of Sign Language. The instructor becomes the Project Facilitator. In this case, you, the student will meet with your PF on a regular basis in completing most of the 15 required hours. To satisfy the remaining hours required for the learning stretch, you will then decide how to reveal your new skill(s) as a tangible Product. You might create a demonstration, digital scrapbook, a professionally-bound cookbook, a video, or a digital portfolio, separate from your Senior Project Portfolio.
Periodic Instruction: On the other hand, the PFs role may be to provide you with periodic instruction. If this is the case, you will meet with your PF for step-by-step instruction. However, you complete each task on your own without the PF present. Most of the required 15 hrs. is completed away from the PF, yet the PF still provides the you with the expertise necessary to create a challenging yet achievable Product. Once again, to satisfy the remaining hours required for a rigorous learning stretch, you will then decide how to reveal your new skill(s) as a tangible Product. You might create a demonstration, digital scrapbook, a professionally-bound cookbook, a video, or a digital portfolio, separate from your Senior Project Portfolio. Fundamentally, the role of the PF is to . . . o enable the student to create a challenging yet achievable tangible Product o guide, encourage, and oversee the students progress o verify the time student spends on his/her fieldwork (minimum of 15 hrs.)

As the parent/guardian of a senior at Etowah High School, I am aware that my son/daughter is required to successfully complete the Senior Project in addition to their senior year English curriculum. I am also aware that the four components of the Project are the Research Paper, a tangible Product, a comprehensive Portfolio, and a Presentation before a panel of judges from the community and school known as Senior Boards. I understand that the Project selection is student-centered and career-related. I realize the tangible Product that is due the third nine weeks of the school year must relate to the Research Paper and represent a rigorous, definable learning stretch that must reflect a significant body of work. I know that my son/daughter will be signing an Ethical Commitment Form, which I have reviewed (Appendix M). I understand that if my son/daughter plagiarizes any of the three components - prior to Senior Boards - that he/she will have to complete an entirely new Project and submit a Portfolio of the new Project by the date set for Stand and Deliver to begin. Only in this way will he/she become eligible for completion of the fourth component, the Presentation. I understand that the Project Facilitator(s) chosen by my son/daughter. I assume all responsibility for costs and risks inherent in his/her chosen Project. I am aware that these individuals are not endorsed by nor are their credentials screened or reviewed by the Cherokee County School District. Therefore, I understand that it is my responsibility as the parent/guardian to review the qualification and/or licensing of this Project Facilitator prior to giving my consent/endorsement as well as to provide all supervision of my child while working with this individual on his/her Product. Cherokee County School District has not undertaken any background checks on the Project Facilitator. It is the responsibility of each parent to ensure the suitability of the Project Facilitator that you and your student select.
