Middle School Constructivist Approach

The middle school program is the culmination of the constructivist process through the inquiry approach to learning. At this stage, the student challenges his/her knowledge through wide and diverse learning opportunities to experience the full process problem solving applied to the real world.

 

The curriculum facilitates the knowledge and skills that the student will need to observe, analyze, critique, and make meaningful connections using the inquiry process. The student creates his/her own knowledge through the inquiry process and thus actively participates in the learning process to transform concepts and build new results.

The Bilingual Curriculum

English-Spanish

Through the inquiry process, the student will:

  • determine the information needed to learn;

  • plan his/her learning;

  • identify the resources needed to learn based on his/her your individual learning needs;

  • work collaboratively as part of a learning community;

  • evaluate his/her progress and learning;

  • learn to document the process of his/her learning;

  • make meaningful connections to his/her personal life and society.
