Project: Silence Hides Violence _____________________________________________________________________________
What is the goal of the project? How has it changed over the course of Capstone?
The goal of the project is to raise awareness of domestic violence because there are starting to be more cases of domestic violence involving teenagers. This is happening during high school and most students don’t even know the many ways that domestic violence can happen and if it will happen to them. The project did not change over the course because we informed the students and teachers that domestic violence can happen to anyone and there are organizations that will help them no matter the situation.
Your Capstone Project is a tool for you to demonstrate your college readiness and global competency. Use the GPS Global Leadership Performance Outcomes to evaluate your college readiness and global competency.
Investigate the World: Produce New Global Knowledge. Students investigate the world, including their immediate environment.
How have you incorporated this element of the GPS into your Capstone project?
This project is connected globally because all over the world there are men, woman, and children that get abused and need help to recover from their wounds. The people that are going through the abuse may not have help and this can be very dangerous because it can lead to major injuries or even death.
Where are your strengths in this area? Why are they strengths? Where is this demonstrated in your Capstone?
My strengths on this project were being able to spread out the topic throughout the school by getting a guest speaker to come and talk about her personal issues. She really explained how going through domestic violence is very hard to go through while going to school but possible to keep going with your life.
Where are your weaknesses in this area? Why do you consider these to be weaknesses? How do you plan on correcting these weaknesses?
My weaknesses in this are were not getting things in time because at times there were some things that could not be done right away. These were my weaknesses because it would push us back from our original timeline and that meant that we had to change a lot. I plan to correct these weaknesses by getting things on time and making sure that everything goes according the timeline.
Recognize and Weigh Perspectives: Apply Cross-Cultural Understanding. Students recognize their own and others’ perspectives.
How have you incorporated this element of the GPS into your Capstone project?
This element was used in my project because students now know about domestic violence and know what to do in case their peers need help and the knowing the signs are a key factor to know because those can be warning signs.
Where are your strengths in this area? Why are they strengths? Where is this demonstrated in your Capstone?
My strengths were informing the students on getting any type of help from the many organizations that there are to help in any kind of way.
Where are your weaknesses in this area? Why do you consider these to be weaknesses? How do you plan on correcting these weaknesses?
My weaknesses were not getting perspectives from other schools or groups on what they thought about the project. If we would have gotten perspectives from other schools then we would have had more opinions of other students.
Communicate Ideas: Connect & Collaborate Across Boundaries. Students communicate and collaborate effectively with diverse audiences.
How have you incorporated this element of the GPS into your Capstone project?
This element was used in my project because there was many communications with the students because they would ask me questions on what to do if they saw someone in an abusive relationship and if they should give advice to that person.
Where are your strengths in this area? Why are they strengths? Where is this demonstrated in your Capstone?
My strengths on this project were being able to communicate with the students because many of them had a big impact when they heard that many abusive relationships are happening during high school or even before. The survey that was passed around had a lot of answers that shocked me and my partner and while they were taking it, many of them were asking me questions about how do they know if they are being abused.
Where are your weaknesses in this area? Why do you consider these to be weaknesses? How do you plan on correcting these weaknesses?
My weaknesses were not showing any type of film because if I would have showed the film then the students could see more cases of women moving forward with their lives even though they suffered through abuse.
Take Action: Enact Global Solutions. Students translate their ideas and findings into appropriate actions to improve conditions.
How have you incorporated this element of the GPS into your Capstone project?
This element was used in the project because the consequences were said if somebody was to ever get abused and what to do if they suffer.
Where are your strengths in this area? Why are they strengths? Where is this demonstrated in your Capstone?
My strengths were being able to tell the students about the consequences of going through domestic violence by having the guest speaker. The guest speaker made a big impact with the students because they were asking me questions about her and on how she was able to make it forward even on hard conditions.
Where are your weaknesses in this area? Why do you consider these to be weaknesses? How do you plan on correcting these weaknesses?
My weakness was not creating events about domestic violence because I didn’t know what to do as something that everybody can do together.
I would score my self a 7 because I have not gotten a response from the organization whether they are coming to get the toys and clothes but I am still getting more toys so that is still good.
