Replacement Assignment for the ASVAB

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is the most widely used multiple-aptitude test battery in the world. As an aptitude test, the ASVAB measures your strengths, weaknesses, and potential for future success. The ASVAB also provides you with career information for various civilian and military occupations and is an indicator for success in future endeavors whether you choose to go to college, vocational school, or a military career.

Should a student miss or choose not to take the ASVAB, he/she may replace this requirement by attending the Job Fair that is held annually at LBCC. It is the responsibility of the student to sign up with the Counselor to participate in the Job Fair.

If the choice is made to use the Job Fair as the Replacement to the ASVAB, then it cannot be used as a replacement for a Career Review or Job Shadow.

SENIOR PROJECT A Senior Project is completed by all Scio High School graduates.

WHAT IS THE SENIOR PROJECT? The Senior Project provides students the chance to design and implement a complex learning experience that represents their interests, the knowledge and skills they have gained from their years in school, and their vision for their future. While each student’s work will be unique, every Senior Project must include the following five parts:

Mentorship Connection – Students must work with their Mentor teacher and may also work with a community consultant. Project Proposal – Students meet with their Mentor to outline their plans for the project. Students must be prepared to defend the rigor and relevance of their planned activities. Research and Reflection essay– The essay requires the student to produce a formal, word-processed document—minimum of 6 full pages with 1” margins of text which is double spaced with 12 font size letters and an addition reference page that cites your research sources and has at least three citations within the essay.

Product/Experience – The Senior Project results in the creation of a tangible, hands-on, product that demonstrates the student’s acquisition and use of specific skills and knowledge and that documents their experience. This product is evidence of a student’s learning and will be shared during the oral presentation.

Oral Presentation – Students present their Senior Project experience before a panel of teachers and community experts. Parents/guardians, relatives and/or friends may not sit on a panel; however, they may attend the presentation.

An approved applied project has the following components:

It demonstrates meaningful learning for the student. It reflects a career or personal interest of the student. It requires intellectual challenge for the student. It requires the guidance of a qualified mentor. It results in a tangible end product or performance. It requires a formal presentation of comprehensive knowledge.
