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:

  1. make choices about a project after examining a range of possibilities;
  2. organize a project by: understanding directions, making and keeping deadlines, and seeking, selecting, and using relevant resources;
  3. select and use appropriate decision-making processes;
  4. set high standards for project quality;
  5. 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.
