CoM is enough. Some school districts are doing outstanding things. Portfolio of four years and project to present. Makes kids think about EALRs and set goals. Goals and careers change.
Plans are useless.
Needs to be a local decision, not a State Board graduation requirement. Makes last six months of high school valuable. Adding a project puts extra pressure on students going to college. Culminating projects need the support of teachers and counselors. Concern about increasing the standards when the test isn't valid and reliable.
