Directed
Enrichment Study
This is a one semester course of independent study under the direction of a
department instructor. This opportunity is designed for serious students who
want to pursue a topic of interest or broaden their knowledge of a subject
not taught in the curriculum. Students are required to complete the Directed
Enrichment Study Project Plan Form prior to meeting with an instructor. If
the teacher agrees to mentor the student project, the Directed Enrichment Study
Application Form must be completed and returned to the Counseling Office. This
course is an elective and cannot be used to meet department requirements for
graduation. Directed Enrichment Study packets are available in the counseling
office.
Visionscape
All Directed Enrichment Study students are expected to share the results of
their efforts in the form of a product, service, or performance for an
authentic audience. Students are encouraged to do this at a culminating
event in May called Visionscape. The focus of this symposium is to showcase
the talents and accomplishments of participating students. Mentor teachers,
parents, friends, and school officials are invited to attend student presentations
and performances.
