Abstract | Hodgson Vocational Technical High School, New Castle County (Delaware), has recently converted from being a shared-time vocational center to being a full-time academic-vocational-technical school. As part of its restructuring, the school instituted a Senior Project, a three-part authentic assessment that combines a research paper, a shop product, and a public, formal, oral presentation. Students select a faculty advisor at the end of their junior year, and the student and advisor work together to orchestrate student progress through the project in a way similar to a dissertation process. The project supports a number of authentic teaching and learning opportunities as it encourages integrated vocational and academic learning. An intellectual component is added to traditional competence- and performance-based vocational assessment. Its most powerful lesson is that work should be meaningful rather than perfunctory. An appendix presents a sample student paper. (Contains 3 references.) (SLD) |
