What are theme blocks?

Theme blocks are times where students bring all academic subjects together. For example, students might draw from science, social science, P&M, and Communications Literacy to to understand ocean biomes.

​

Goal

It is imperative that students begin to see the world as interconnected and understand that real world problems require many disciplines and skills.  Students become problem-solvers and active producers who engage with authentic audiences, seek real feedback, and participate in thoughtful reflection.

 

Methodology

We embrace project-based learning (PBL), phenomenon-based learning (PhBL), and a general constructivist approach.  What does this mean? Students are answering real-world questions and exploring a subject from multiple angles, driven by their interests.
