Capstone Project

Due to more rigorous requirements of accrediting agencies, we have added a Capstone Project to all of our courses, effective for all credit earned Summer 2026 and beyond. ​

Option #1​
​
​Participants will apply their learning by selecting one strategy or concept from the course to implement within their
professional practice.

Using a Google Form, participants will clearly articulate the what, how, and why of their implementation and submit evidence in the form of either 5 photos or a 2-minute video documenting this implementation.

Participants will also complete a reflective narrative (250-word minimum) analyzing the impact on student learning.

This is not what you "would" or "could" do. You actually have do it! Make the implementaiton with students or staff - document it, analyze it, and reflect on it.

​RUBRIC

Option #1 Submission Form
Do not submit your Captone Project until ALL other coursework is completed!!!
 
All submitted work must represent your own, authentic application of the course concepts. Photos and videos are required as evidence that you personally implemented the strategy, activity, or practice described.  Misrepresentation of work, including AI-generated or staged evidence, violates academic integrity policies and may result in loss of credit for the assignment.
​
​

Option #2
​
Participants will synthesize their learning by creating a digital poster (using Canva, Piktochart, Adobe Express etc.) that highlights their Top Ten Takeaways. (If you opt to make a handmade poster it has to be awesome!) No PowerPoint. No slideshows. Your poster should be on one page, if possible; two, at most.

This culminating artifact will be shared with instructors and fellow Transform Your Classroom participants during a structured exit interview. Exit interviews are held via Zoom every Wednesday from 8:00–8:45 p.m.

Periodically, participants may also elect to complete this requirement through a face-to-face, pop-up interview, offered at select locations, dates, and times.
