![Page 2: Program Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/5577bb5bd8b42a1c068b4b91/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
•WHAT?
• An interim program in which teachers will lead intensive courses/projects of their own creation in an attempt to engage students in a unique manner
• All students from each grade level will sign up for one 2-week course/project
• Regular courses will not take place during this 2-week interim to allow students to devote themselves fully to their project

•WHEN?
• 2 weeks• Before Spring Break• 2012-2013 school year
![Page 4: Program Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/5577bb5bd8b42a1c068b4b91/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
•WHO?
• The whole school: all teachers, all students• Part-time Faculty will also be involved (flexibility
as to what they can offer or collaboration with an existing project)
![Page 5: Program Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/5577bb5bd8b42a1c068b4b91/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
•WHY?
• CREATIVITY• An innovative way to represent Sem’s mission• A program that allows teachers to invent a course that
wouldn’t otherwise fit in their curriculum• A hands-on, out-of-the classroom experience
• COLLABORATION• Among teachers (the project can either be individual or
created in collaboration with another teacher)• Among students (all grades involved, across grade levels)• With local and/or global communities

•But…WHY?
• LEADERSHIP• Giving our students a chance to appreciate our
leadership in a different way• Fostering peer leadership. No grade level
distinction• Acquiring career skills through meaningful
interaction with professionals

•FACULTY INVOLVEMENTHow can you be a part of this?
![Page 8: Program Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/5577bb5bd8b42a1c068b4b91/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
•Project design
• A minimum of 20 APPROVED project proposals needed• To reach this goal, teachers should submit at least 2 proposals. The
most popular among students will be chosen for the interim• It has to fit in 2 weeks• Travel encouraged (Foreign, domestic or local treks)• Collaboration with professionals encouraged• About 6 hours a day of interaction with students, Monday through
Friday. Think of tablet use and independent work if you cannot meet this criteria
• There must be an end product to be assessed since this will count towards graduation requirements
• Consider how the project should be assessed: A regular grade? A skill-based evaluation?

•Project design continued
• From all submissions, we will include:• projects from every discipline • community involvements (across disciplines)• projects involving traveling (across disciplines)• projects with a Sem focus (strengthening and
improving our own community – ex: residence floor plans, a marketing video, a newspaper)
• projects with partnerships with fellow schools (from elementary to college)
• Internships at local companies, museums, etc.

•Student enrollment
• Students will be asked to rate 3 to 4 projects in order of preference to keep a well-balanced enrollment• one project only per student• 8 to 10 students per project is desired • Their performance will be assessed through the
presentation of an end-product • 4 successfully completed interim projects are
required for graduation

•The end product
• SHARING OUR SUCCESS STORIES WITH THE COMMUNITY• An invitation to “Interim Project Night” sent out
to parents/families, outside mentors, alums or any friend of Sem • Display booths in the PAC to showcase each
project as well as an online component to share with the wider community• Awards recognizing students' work, Faculty &
mentors
