Universal Themes to Support Deeper Learning Throughout the Grades
Each grade level plans to focus on 1 universal theme throughout the year to help students identify and make connections between, within, and across disciplines. They then investigate 3-4 generalizations that transcend time, place, and culture. This helps to facilitate inquiry by acting as a stimulus for students to gather evidence with which to prove the statement.
