MSHS eFolio/ Culminating Project
We are currently working to develop a Web-Based eFolio System that will enable students to demonstrate their mastery of the competencies that establish an education at Mount Si High School. This will be a vehicle for students to plan, monitor and reflect upon their learning experiences. The completion and presentation of the student eFolio will be part of the culminating project required by the state for the graduates of the year 2008.

Important Update
The culminating Project committee has made significant changes to the student expectations for the culminating project. Please review the revisions.

Reflection
Reflection is the most powerful learning experience of the eFolio process. We have built in two levels of reflection into the system.
Competency Reflection Questions
Reflection Pre-write
Lesson Idea

Artifact Reflection: Students will be asked to reflect on and then explain how each of their artifacts demonstrates their understanding and ability to execute the competency for which they align this artifact. Encourage students to incorporate the "criterion" from the rubric into their reflection.

Competency Reflection: Each department developed a handful of reflection questions and aligned them with each of their competencies. These questions should be completed once a student has developed a body of artifacts that clearly demonstrates a pattern of understanding. Think of them as the culminating activity or final for a competency. These can be changed at any time prior to finalizing the competency so it doesn't hurt if students start these early.
