Create an Exhibition HandbookDescription
For purposes of clarity, consistency, and fairness, an exhibition handbook that contains all pertinent information, tools, and models should be made available to teachers, students, parents, and the community at large. It is recommended that the handbook be made available on a school's website as well as in hard copy.
Things to Consider
Some schools have developed separate handbooks for teachers, students, parents, advisory boards, and mentors/advisors. While this is not required, it is important to keep in mind that a very diverse audience will be reading and using the guidance materials produced by a school.
Tools
Exhibition Handbook: Souhegan High School
This is an example of a senior project handbook developed by Souhegan High School. This is only an example and the wholesale use of this handbook would be inappropriate.

Exhibition Handbook: Rhode Island Skills Commission
This document was developed by the Rhode Island Skills Commission. It is one example of a capstone handbook, explaining all of the required elements for completion of a capstone project including the proposal worksheet, applied learning standards, the various roles and responsibilities, and all of the rubrics used in judging student projects and presentations. Schools that are not members of the Rhode Island Skills Commission should not adopt this handbook, wholesale, as their own.
