CONTRACT
Senior project takes the values and academics of LREI and allows students to explore these
areas in the real world. There are four major components: experiential learning (apprenticeship or an independent project or taking classes); intellectual engagement and challenge; interdisciplinary thinking; and the documentation and demonstration of the previous three aspects.
| I, | Max Zinman | (student name) will be participating in (check all that apply): |
- An Internship or Apprenticeship
- An Independent Project
- Classes
| in the following field or area of study: | Education and physics |
| My essential question is: | How does teaching while learning affect how one learns? |
Experiential Component Requirements:
- 30 hours per week (minimum) interning, conducting independent research or work, shadowing professionals, meeting with mentors, or attending classes, from March 31 – May 17.
- Documentation shared (weekly or in real time) with Senior Seminar, Mentor(s) and Senior Project Committee according to the documentation plan.
- Weekly attendance at Morning Meeting and Homeroom on Mondays & Advisory on Wednesdays.
- Twice weekly attendance at Senior Cohort (Mondays & Wednesdays, time will vary for each group).
| I, | Max Zinman | (student name) understand the requirements and expectations |
of Senior Project. I will follow the plan outlined in my proposal, including the schedule and documentation plan described. I will cooperate to the fullest extent with my mentor and fellow cohort group students to maintain an educational environment.
I am aware that failure to fulfill the obligations of the experiential component of my Senior Project at any point may result in administration and the Committee stepping in to revise my project to ensure a successful outcome. This may result in a modified project and/or a project within the LREI facilities.
I understand that my signature on this contract indicates that I have read and agree to the above statement.
