• Senior Capstone Proposal: Print if necessary

    In this project proposal, you will create a written document showing that the project you have created for yourself meets the AACT Capstone project's requirements. This type of writing is called an INTERNAL PROPOSAL.

    Your proposal should be typed, single-spaced, and one page in length.  It should contain the following sections.

    Abstract:

    This is a short description of your project and how it builds a bridge between this year and what comes next. 

    Connection to CTE and Academics:

    3-5 sentences about how you will use CTE and academic skills to accomplish this task.  Remember, the problem-solving skills that you learn in school are intended to transfer to real life. You can include skills like organization, time management, communication, people skills, and problem solving when you discuss how your project connects to school.

    Community Partners:

    Write a short paragraph that identifies any community partners you will be working with. This should include supervisors, advisors, professors/teachers, counselors, co-workers, and anyone else you can work with on this project.

    Project Value/Portfolio Development: 

    This is the heart of your proposal. Write a paragraph that shows how you will benefit from your project and how it will be a genuine bridge between high school and whatever comes next.  What skills, experiences, certifications, or relationships does this project provide for you?  How will you use this in the future?

    Time Requirements:

    How will you meet the 40-hour requirements of this project? If your project is a paid internship or a college class, how will you connect service to your project?

    Action Plan:

    What are the first three steps you need to take to initiate or continue this project?
