Connection to Graduate Profile: Content Knowledge

In Knowledge Constructor, we invite students to engage in standards based research and propose solutions to real world problems. Students leverage technology to locate, collect, organize, evaluate, analyze, synthesize, and share information generated from research, draft research papers and presentations, engage with stakeholders to identify problems, and propose solutions to authentic audiences. As they engage in research, students leverage their foundation in “standards-based knowledge and skills” to enable “further inquiry and exploration in a variety of fields and areas of interest.” Furthermore, students strengthen a variety of literacies (global, civil, environmental, financial, health, & media) as they investigate and propose solutions to real world problems, and learn to evaluate information and analyze media for personal and cultural bias.
