2015-2016 Interdisciplinary Theme

Grade Level Specific

Interdisciplinary instruction lasts for 3.5 hours per week. The course
ties to core courses, and students have the ability to earn .5 credit
per quarter for the course. The theme is approached from multiple
perspectives and is shared through portfolio assessment and schoolwide forums. Many activities revolve around school-wide forums,
speakers, and debates as well as student and teacher presentations
to the school. This course is a supplemental project class to support
the core interdisciplinary classes.
