NC Graduation ProjectsOVERVIEW: The
North Carolina Graduation Project is a multi-faceted,
multi-disciplinary performance assessment completed over time. The NC
Graduation Project provides students the opportunity to connect content
knowledge, acquired skills, and work habits to real world situations
and issues. Through the graduation project process, students will
engage various specific skills that include: computer knowledge,
employability skills, information-retrieval skills, language skills –
reading, language skills – writing, teamwork, and
thinking/problem-solving skills. The NC Graduation Project consisting
of four components (a research paper, product, portfolio, and an oral
presentation) culminates in a student's final year of high school.
Student engagement in the graduation project process and the completion
of the graduation project demonstrates the integration of knowledge,
skills, and performance.
