Service Learning Program
The program for student service learning will be infused into the curriculum in grades 6, 7, 8 and 9 and will provide multiple opportunities for student participation. In grades 6-8, thematic units developed by grade level teams (language arts, science, social studies and mathematics) or special subject teams (music, band, physical education, consumer science, art, foreign language, and tech ed) will be implemented each school year.
These units will be enhanced with activities conducted by teachers in other subject areas. In the required ninth grade social studies course, formal service learning will continue through units of instruction that include planning, action, and reflection integrated into the government curriculum. This instruction will be supported by interdisciplinary planning with other ninth grade teachers.
