Curriculum

Staff will utilize the board approved district curriculum for students. This curriculum is based on the Missouri Early Learning Goals. Our program uses Project Construct. Educators using Project Construct support child's development as individuals, as learners, and as members of a classroom community. Along with a thorough understanding of what children need to know and be able to do at each age level, teachers in Project Construct classrooms:

• use students' interests to motivate and engage them in learning
• encourage children to collaborate and work together
• allow children to take initiative, express opinions, and make choices
• view children's errors as learning opportunities
• assess children's thinking, as well as the work, in order to teach more effectively

The Project Construct learning environment provides opportunities for children to make choices, to solve problems, to collaborate, and be a responsible member of their classroom community.
