PBGR – Proficiency Based Graduation Requirements

  • Exhibition:

    Exhibition is a culminating event in a student’s high school career specifically designed for every student to demonstrate proficiency in the Applied Learning Standards: problem solving, critical thinking, research, communication, reflection and evaluation. This semester long course culminates in a formal presentation of a comprehensive “research” project centered on a student’s personal interest with written work compiled into a formal binder and an oral presentation enhanced with a visual presentation to showcase to the panel of judges their work to meet or exceed standard. Students not only work in class with a Lincoln High School teacher, but with an approved mentor to guide students in successfully completing their work.

    • For the last 2 years the combined pass rate has been 97%
    • The last Exhibition Day (Semester 1 of 2024-2025) the passing rate has been 95%
    • All Exhibition documents and material can be found in the students' Google Classroom
    • Stuck on picking your topic? Working with your mentor on finalizing your end-product/solution? Click here for help!
    • Students taking Exhibition will be required to select and work with a mentor for 7 hours during the course of completing their projects. Mentors MUST receive and submit a criminal background check (BCI) before they can work with a student. Failing to complete this component will nullify any hours submitted for approval. Lincoln residents may receive a free BCI report from the Lincoln Police Department. For residents of Lincoln, please see our notice in regards to acquiring this locally. For further information on the RI law requiring BCI checks for volunteers/mentors, please click here to learn more about Rhode Island General Laws 16-2-18.4
