About our class...
Our class is taught using an interdisciplinary approach. We incorporate three subject areas in a 90 minute block. The units are thematic in nature, discussing the various perspectives that English, religion, and social studies bring to a particular theme. The seven values of CDH are consciously intergraded into our teaching and guide the content of the course.
The Interdisciplinary Approach... An Example From Our Class Unit 1: Development of Communities and CommunityIn this unit, students will be welcomed into the CDH community. Students will explore how communities are formed and how they function through examining their own community and other diverse historical communities. Finally, students will begin their journey of high school education by developing an awareness of self-identity through religious , social, familial and community tradition.
