To demonstrate the Profile, high school seniors can do a Capstone project and Skills21 has the experience and expertise in designing a Capstone curriculum to meet state guidelines.
The webinar will be hosted by capstone experts Liz Radday and Matt Mervis from Skills21 who will talk about the many ways districts are implementing Capstone projects in Connecticut to demonstrate the Portrait of a Graduate and how students are benefitting. The webinar will feature video profiles of students and teachers who share their first-hand experience with Capstone and how it has impacted teaching and learning.
