Standard C: Complete Independent and
Cooperative Projects
A student should be able to identify and select from
multiple strategies in order to complete projects independently
and cooperatively.
Rationale: To be productive citizens and workers,
students must be flexible as they face the problems and
challenges of our changing world. Everyone must learn
to solve problems and complete tasks with efficiency and
eloquence, at home and in the workplace. Effective communication
and clear thinking are essential. Students must work well
with others in a variety of situations. They must also
know how to work independently, claiming responsibility
for their decisions and actions.
A student who meets this standard should be able to:
- make choices about a project after examining a range
of possibilities;
- organize a project by: understanding directions,
making and keeping deadlines, and seeking, selecting,
and using relevant resources;
- select and use appropriate decision-making processes;
- set high standards for project quality;
- when working on a collaborative project; take responsibility
for individual contributions to the project; share ideas
and workloads; incorporate individual talents and perspectives;
work effectively with others as an active participant
and as a responsive audience; and evaluate the processes
and work of self and of others.
