Throughout the country, schools and architects are partnering to provide opportunities
for students in grades K - 12 to study design and architecture.
Initial sessions of reading comprehension classes
designed for students in grades 1 and 2 comprise of reading aloud stories or passages to students, which help them expand their vocabulary.
Literacy rotation allowed for smaller instructional groups during part of the school
day for students in grade 1 and some students in grade 2.
It measures student performance in language arts, mathematics, science, and social
studies for students in grades 3 through high school and contributes 20 percent towards the student's final course grade.
This is particularly
important for students in grades five through eight to nurture their interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as the curriculum becomes more sophisticated.
The lessons will be fully aligned to state standards so that social studies teachers will be able to bring civic education and literacy learning
together for all students in grades 6 - 12.
For instance, a screening and testing system would need to be in
place for students in grades K - 3 to identify students having difficulties.
The project provides design process
opportunities for students in all grades to use creativity and inventive thinking to build prototypes, explore questions, experience failure and successes and bounce ideas off each other.
