Across the Curriculum LearningConnecting Literature and SVPDP Concepts • Instead of teaching Foundations as a separate curriculum…One Middle School English Teacher had students apply the concepts of responsibility, authority, justice, and privacy to a book they were reading. • As a culminating activity, Happy Valley Middle School students had to apply concepts and create an imaginary place with a government, constitution, and laws for the people living there. Students then had to present their presentation.
Learning from Local Elected Officials Students at Happy Valley Elementary learn about being a good citizen. The role of a good citizen is to participate in government. Being informed citizens and voting helps keep government strong.
