Authentic Learning
Content Focus
Teachers will build the curriculum in
such a way that students are focusing
at a specific area of a content domain,
such as zoo keeping in biology;
learning exactly what someone in that
area does and why.
Assessment
Finally, there is also a choice in how the
students demonstrate their mastery of the
knowledge in the Instructional Products
Menu. The instructional products menu
allows teachers to create assessment
options that are suitable for below gradelevel, on grad-level, and gifted learners.
