Senior Capstone Practicum Proposal Form 2018-19

Student Name: Dezaray Beltran Period: 1

Topic (a few words): Self confidence

Topic in full sentence (identifies the problem): Why are more and more teens becoming less confident and what can be
done to raise their confidence?

Description of practicum (What do you see this journey being for you?)

I see this journey being very tough to get deep down into someone’s true feelings but something beautiful and positive
in the end for others including myself because I helped out a person in need.

**Questions used for Research (Annotated Bibliography):

1.What is causing teens to build up this sort of wall when it comes to being themselves?

2.How is lack of confidence affecting teens day to day life?

3.How does lack of confidence affect their career?

4.Why does social media partake in low confidence?

5.Is it a certain type of “group” that is less confident than others?

What information did you learn through your research that you will apply to the practicum? Provide specific details. TO
BE COMPLETED AFTER RESEARCH!

I have learned that teen girls with a negative mind set about themselves do things with boys that they later
on regret partaking in.

Learning Goals/Outcomes: What will you understand and/or be able to do as a result of your practicum?

I will be able to understand what is the main backstory as to why teens are hiding their true selves rather than embracing
who they are.

How will you make a difference in other people’s lives from your journey. What impact do you hope to have?

I will inform them how sad and low I used to be because I was judged for being me but that never once stopped me
from being confident and now nobody can stop me.
List the steps you will take to complete the practicum and how will you document each and every step for completing
your product (emails, photos, videos, interviews- recorded or transcribed, surveys, phone call logs, etc...). You may add
steps/spaces as needed. A few steps will not do. Think of every possible step.

Step Evidence

Having group meetings to discuss what is going on in their life and seems to be Pictures
bothering them.

Recording the progress of students one on one to document the difference when you video
have a little self confidence.

Take week surveys to see the mental state teens are at and find out more into depth internet/ survey
information on how your patient is feeling.

Try to be more active and less on phone like going for a walk on the beach or going Keeping track of time on phone
for a good hike to get your mind of reality and be one with yourself. day by day

Do things that make yourself happy like going out on a nice lunch by yourself, spend Taking pictures
a little time working on yourself.

Connect with my followers and pay attention to their problems, give them a voice to Documenting
be heard.

Advertise on my social media to get the word out online/ pictures

Post flyers around school and downtown setting meeting times for new joiners. Posters

Starbucks dates to connect. pictures

Talk to my sister since she suffers from lack of confidence and get to know what the Video/ pictures
cause is.

What organization (if any) will you work with and for what purpose?

None

Learning Stretch: How will this project be a new and meaningful challenge for you?

By opening up my voice to others who need it and changing their mind to let loose and be themselves will be tough
because you have to go into the their core. Trust will be a challenge but i'm also a very trustworthy person.

How will you display your final practicum in your digital portfolio? (Pictures, videos, screencasts, etc…) Remember that
ALL of your evidence must be on your portfolio. An interview must be filmed or have a transcript. Every picture must
have a verbal explanation (screencastify?) Anyone should be able to access your website and be able to understand every
step you took. You saying you did something is not enough. You must have evidence of every step. Be thorough
here!

I am going to use my social media platform to gather low confident teens and dig a little deeper to find out what is
causing the lack of confidence then session by session see/ record their progress.
