Interdisciplinary Units Linked by a Conceptual ‘Big Idea’

Units integrate subject areas by linkinger their content to a single overarching understanding or ‘Big Idea.’ This enables students to construct meaning through their learning in an authentic way. The unit selection & sequence is curated to target & assess all learning goals over a three-year cycle, with 5 - 6 units per year.

Sample Big Idea: Communication (Grade 6)

“When information is shared accurately and clearly, the end result is more effective.”
