Our program leads students to examine relationships of art, science, and mathematics. Curriculum is inquiry based as students become problem solvers. Teams of students and teachers are designers and conduct relevant research and development. It is intergenerational and sets the school as the central community hub. Our long term plan is to prepare students to run a children's museum for the school system and the community.
Space is limited, and educational materials become stale when they remain in one area.
Sharing resources and circulating exhibits solve both problems. To do this we need to establish a system planning and implementation team who field tests materials and addresses logistical problems. During 1994 -96 Cambridge and Worcester worked with Uxbridge to create their own exhibits. We are now prepared to formalize this work in Uxbridge through shared decision making and by involving key educational leaders on the planning team. Throughout the process we offer support for all teachers who find this program valuable while respecting those who choose not to participate.
