context_section_description: Instead of traditional assignments, PAKs (Personal Activity Kits) are administered for each class. PAKs include all the work for the unit. Teachers inform students of the objectives, direct them to learning materials, and prepare them for tests/quizzes. The PAK system encourages students to participate in teamwork, seminars, and large groups to provide opportunities for teacher-directed and group learning. After the PAK is turned in, a test or a quiz is given over that material. New PAKs are typically issued every one to two weeks.
