Curriculum
Curriculum Overview
Greater Brunswick Charter School is rooted in constructivism, differentiated, and hands-on learning. Our classrooms and lesson plans strive to be rich with interactive materials, learning stations, discussions, projects, developmentally based instruction, collaboration, cooperative learning, and resources to support language learners. We work diligently to provide instruction in all subject areas that is rich in vocabulary, providing visual support and dynamic/animated instructional delivery. We are mindful of creating ample opportunities for students to speak and discuss their thoughts and ideas. Literacy skills are developed in all subject areas, including interdisciplinary Science and Social Studies units.
We are proud of our technology integration and our drive to help students to become producers, not just consumers of technology. For the upcoming school year, we utilize Into Math for mathematics and ARC Core for language arts. We continue to work with these curricular resources to best support our curriculum and preferred instructional practices. Many teachers are using a learning station model to facilitate teaching and learning. This model supports our focus on differentiated instruction. The use of an Intervention and Enrichment block for all grades, also supports our focus on differentiated instruction, in addition to supporting student directed learning through Personal Education Plans.
