A hands-on methodology that delivers the California State Standards in all subjects at all grade levels for the understanding needed to dramatically improve test scores
The MA Degree program applies to teaching K-12 grades and all subjects and provides a unique model that supports and mentors teachers in their own classrooms throughout the two-year experience.
Design-Based Learning is a highly researched, project-based and standards-based methodology. It provides tools and techniques for teaching students basic skills and knowledge from any subject so that they learn how to think critically at the highest level - to invent, extrapolate, adapt and transform information - to gain deeper understanding of subject matter. These techniques promote language acquisition, oral language development and enriched learning experiences for all students.
