- Students solve relevant and current school and community issues by working collaboratively and independently on high-level, real-world tasks such as project proposals, portfolios, and presentations.
- In some schools, the course is customized to meet the needs of formal student organizations such as student council.
- However, this course is adaptable across various student needs and student populations.
