Course Description:
The SAS Catalyst Project represents the pinnacle of academic, intellectual, and
social-emotional learning experiences at SAS. Students are empowered to dive deep into an
area of interest or passion as teachers provide student centered guidance, support, and
extraordinary flexibility. Instruction focuses on SASs DSLOs (Communication, Collaboration,
Critical Thinking, and Creativity) development and assessment within authentic contexts, i.e.,
work studies, apprenticeships, internships, scientific research, etc. As students design, plan,
and conduct their projects, they will be taught how to employ the rich regional and global
professional network; starting with working with a mentor from a respective academic field or
profession. The scope of an SAS Catalyst Project is limited only by the students imagination
(merging their interests and passions with their academic learning) where they are given a
unique opportunity to demonstrate their fullest potential.
Semester Grade Breakdown: Course grades are determined by trending data for individual
benchmarks. Individual assessments (e.g., tests, quizzes, projects) are out of a 9-point scale
(A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F). Percentages will not be used.
Behavioral Expectations:
All participants must adhere to the SAS Cornerstones (honesty, respect, tolerance,
responsibility, and kindness) for all on and off campus activities.
*All off campus activities must be pre-approved; including a completed and approved
permission form.
Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty, or plagiarism, does not allow the teacher to clearly assess the students
learning. Any form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and may result in a No Credit.
