Science Curriculum
The Science curriculum and instruction provides all students an authentic understanding of scientific knowledge and processes, and teaches students to be critical thinkers. The science curriculum drives instruction where learning is achieved through the use of inquiry, the acquisition of content, experimentation, reflection, and the use of current technology. This type of learning is vital so that students will be able to apply what they know to new situations, enabling them to make informed decisions in the future. Fundamental Principles:
- Inquiry based learning is taught through hands on investigations in the classroom and in the lab.
- Learning is applied across the disciplines and beyond the classroom.
- Vocabulary is taught in context, utilizing multiple representations.
- Laboratory safety is modeled and practiced in investigations.
- Teachers and students use current technology for teaching and learning.
Social Studies Curriculum
The Social Studies curriculum and instruction provides students the knowledge and skills necessary to become life-long learners and informed and responsible citizens about the United States and the World. This is accomplished through the teaching of broad concepts, social studies skills, and learning strategies. Fundamental Principles:
- Social Studies content instruction focuses on broad concepts, connections, changes over time, and cause and effect.
- Social Studies skills instruction focuses on writing; interactive-notebooking skills; analysis of visual documents, primary sources, maps and graphics, and reading in the content area. Social Studies instruction actively engages students in the learning process.
- Social Studies curriculum, skills and vocabulary are most effective when vertically aligned K-12.
- ELAR and Social Studies instruction in elementary are integrated whenever possible
