ACADEMICS
Academics
are taught with the specific goal of teaching students to think.
The major components
include:
Essential question
15 essential skills
These components are
used to make our curriculum useful for the demands of the 21st
century.
Meaningful curriculum
is chosen from Florida State Standards and current events.
Teams work on projects
which are then presented in class.
These projects are evaluated through the use of
rubrics.
Selected groups then
exhibit
their work before a panel of community members.
Portfolios are
used to demonstrate individual competency. They too are evaluated
with a rubric.
Research reports; oral and/or written are the way curriculum
knowledge is learned and demonstrated. Specific rubrics are used
here too, so that students clearly understand what is expected for
an excellent product.
“Differentiation”
techniques are applied to meet the various learning styles of
students.
