After viewing our curriculum units, please take a few minutes to help us understand how the units, which were created by public school teachers, may be useful to others.
Introduction
This curriculum unit is based on the educational principles promoted by UNESCO, which view education as a human right and an essential path to peace and sustainable development. In a context of constant social change, the program promotes inclusive, competency-based, and collaborative teaching that fosters critical thinking, active student participation, and the use of emerging technologies. The unit is implemented in the 5th-grade bilingual school at Truman School (New Haven), with a group of predominantly Hispanic students, some of whom have reading comprehension difficulties and have PPTs. The students' socioeconomic background is mostly vulnerable, which poses additional educational challenges, although many families demonstrate involvement in the educational process.
