Albany Senior High School/Impact Project Cycle

Impact Projects
Structuring impact projects for maximum learning and high quality products involves a number of different phases in which students carry out different kinds of tasks. Experience has showed that dividing projects into three distinct phases gives the greatest chance for a project's success, both in terms of learning and product. The three phases are: proposal, progressing and presenting. Throughout the project, students their e-portfolios to centralise the documents and tools used in the course of the project.



Proposal Phase
During this phase the students consider exactly how they can engage their passions in a project. In the proposal students identify roles for each group member, what their product will be and success criteria to measure it, an initial timeline of what they will do to progress the project, how it will impact their stakeholders and how the group members will be challenged in their learning during the course of the project.

Tools for Proposals
-Proposal template in e-portfolios. -E-portfolio group. -Planning software for setting timelines.
