Independent Projects: If no other TAG options work for your student (ex: early release student, takes most/ all courses online, etc.), then Independent projects may be a good option to earn TAG credit. Independent projects are similar to a seminar in that the student will meet with one of the TAG teachers to develop a contract, and then work independently (on their own) to complete the project. The student and TAG teacher may meet weekly, twice a month, or some other pre-determined number of times each semester. The student will earn TAG credit upon completion of the project.
Each Independent project is guided by a contract developed by student and TAG teacher
The student must meet with the TAG teacher to show development of project on a regular basis (as determined and agreed upon by student and TAG teacher)
The student must present complete project by due date to earn TAG credit for the semester.
TAG Directed Studies (grades 10 - 12)
The student conducts extensive research in a particular academic area or completes a course from the Fulton County curriculum that is not offered that semester. It is a daily class and the transcript reflects a numeric grade in addition to the TAG credit earned.
Each directed study is guided by a contract developed by the student and TAG teacher and approved by the TAG office.
The developed contract includes standards, at least 12 gradable experiences, percentage of course grade assigned to each experience, and due dates.
