SUBJECT BASED CURRICULUM

Stand-alone resources are from vetted curriculum sources outside of the National Office-developed curriculum and may require prep and further refinement on the Affiliate end. We encourage Affiliates to use these resources when: introducing a unit, a closing activity for a unit, breaking the monotony of a longer unit/project, or using on a ‘flex day’. These resources can be found in the additional curriculum resources tab. 

Standard Curriculum w/ optional project will be developed and/or purchased and adapted by the National Office. It will consist of a minimum of 16 - 20 structured lessons culminating with an (optional) aligned final project. The projects will encompass a few elements of a project-based learning experience. We encourage Affiliates to use these resources if they are interested in project-based learning but can’t fully transition all academics to project-based learning. These resources can be found in the standard curriculum tab. 

Project-based Learning curriculum will consist of a pedagogical framework where students learn the content through an authentic project with real-world applications. It will consist of 4 to 5 weeks of work culminating with one week of preparing students for a presentation of learning or portfolio submission. We encourage Affiliates to use these resources with the BIT: PBL Workshop Series to ensure adequate training and support for Teaching Fellows and Instructional Coaches. These resources can be found in the project-based curriculum
