Student Outcomes
_
Students will develop lifelong learning skills. They will ask questions, think creatively and critically. They will communicate effectively with other students involved in the project and the community working both collaboratively and independently. They will develop a deeper understanding of local history through exciting and exploratory investigations that engage them in the learning process. During this process, students will be continually take initiative and pursue frequent self-assessment and improvement.
Students will have the conceptual knowledge and the opportunity to engage with other content areas (such as social studies and digital film classes) and make connections with disparate subjects and respond to new situations with the appropriate mix of inquiry, creativity, and knowledge. Technology and inquiry will facilitate the development of this knowledge-base.
This project is not an add-on curriculum but is an exercise in the ability of all students to utilize skills acquired in the classroom and apply them to real life investigations and community service. Students use critical and creative thinking as they explore, make judgments, interpret, and synthesize information in meaningful ways. This approach is more representative of how adults are asked to learn and demonstrate knowledge. Additionally, the project focuses on the development of 21st century skills using up-to-date technology tools and resources. Finally, it encourages the integration of community resources beyond the school walls.
Students will have the opportunity to involve and receive feedback from the community and develop citizenship. As part of this process, they will share their learning with other students and members of the community through multi-media photo stories that will be showcased and linked to the Missoula city cemetery website. Students will take field trips to local historic sites and research facilities, such as The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula, St. Mary's Mission, Fort Owen, Traveler's Rest, Council Grove, downtown Missoula, Moon Randolph Homestead, UM Mansfield Center, Missoula County Cemetery, and the Missoula County Library.
Students will develop the skills required in the world of work and career development. This includes problem solving (see home page) creatively and thinking critically. Two of the most critical aspects of this project include the "Two "C"'s of working globally: contribution and collaboration. Since this project reaches across schools, communication is key. These are many of the skills that students will need to be successful in both school and career.
