Life Connections 12 (LC12) & Capstone
Life Connections 12 & Capstone is a 4-credit course that will commence in the 2019-2020 school year. All BC high-school graduates will be required to create and present a Capstone Portfolio as part of their legislated graduation requirements. The Capstone Portfolio will replace the Graduation Transition Program from the 2004 Graduation Program.
The Capstone Portfolio will have 4 key components
The Capstone Portfolio Conversation will take place during the last week of the semester.
Defining your Capstone project
The Capstone Project can be defined as a: Experiment/Research, Event, Project, Occupation/Entrepreneur, or Service Oriented Capstone Project. It is a culminating or final senior project that will allow students to demonstrate their learning in an in-depth study of an area of interest. Ideally the project would involve the collaboration with a mentor and reflect an area that students are passionate about and in which they anticipate pursuing further learning, investigation and/or a career pathway.
The purpose of the Capstone process & presentation is to CELEBRATE individual learning, growth, transition plans and achievements across a student’s journey!
LC12 Teachers: Ms T. Brenie, Ms. T. Gambrel, Mr. M. McLean
The Capstone Portfolio will have 4 key components
- myBlueprint Portfolios: An in-depth personalized gathering of information, transition documents and skills & experiences gathered across grades to prepare for work and career pathway opportunities. This is comprised of the students' myBlueprint About Me, After High School Plan, and Core Competencies portfolios. These portfolios were started in grade 9.
- Life 101 Portfolio: A collection of reflections based on topics covered in LC12 class.
- Capstone Project: An in-depth Problem Based Learning Project (Experiment/Research, Event, Project, Occupation/Entrepreneur, or Service Oriented Capstone Project).
- Capstone Portfolio Conversation: A public sharing of the student's Capstone Portfolio: Their myBlueprint Portfolios (About Me, Plan After High School, Core Competencies, & Life 101), and their Capstone Project. The students will demonstrate their personal learning journey and achievements in and out of school, growth in the core competencies, and reflections on decision-making and transition plans.
