If a choice school is designed with a specialty area, i.e. fine arts, is there any concern with providing all of the reading and math instruction that is required?
The school would provide reading and math instruction as in any building. It may utilize materials in that instruction that are related to fine arts. Thematic units may be utilized in all areas of instruction. If such a building were to be created, a planning team of staff and parents would work out the details of how instruction would be delivered. Back to Top ———————– 154.
