Description
The underlying theme for Force’s master plan is cultural literacy. Force teaches cultural literacy through math, science, music, technology, art, and other various academic curriculum. The school is a bi-literacy school, meaning that both english and spanish are the predominant languages spoken. Cultural literacy will be tied into the learning landscape through, ‘literacy stations.’ These stations will provide the students with the facilities to learn symbolically, conceptually, and perceptively. The stations will allow for the students to learn about cultures that they might not come into contact with outside of Force. These stations will allow for students to learn both by programmed and unprogrammed methods.
