Well imagine them doing this through real-world situations. • The key to making this happen is our new curriculum – the plan that maps out what teachers teach and what students are expected to learn. • Students will get hands-on experience in collaboration, critical thinking and communications – skills they'll need to succeed in college, university, and the workforce.
