SCIENCE EDUCATION VISION
Our vision for students is a K-8 science experience that builds and deepens each year, developing a strong foundation and excitement in science and engineering. Through the exploration of scientific phenomena, students’ interactions will be student centered, hands-on/minds-on, and inquiry based while actively engaging in science. By marrying scientific practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas within the science curriculum, we will ensure that students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, while generating interest in understanding the world around them. Ultimately, our vision for students is a three dimensional learning experience that will prepare them with the skills and knowledge needed for a future job market that will later exist for them.
