Uploaded Dec 20, 2019The Academic Design Program (ADP) is a standards-based, integrated approach to learning. Using the Design-Based Learning methodology, Math, Social Science, and English are brought together as the students work through real-world problems in search of real-world solutions.
Program Benefits
Meets A-G requirements (i.e., college or university prep)
Small learning community--class sizes smaller than average
ADP classes are scheduled for up to three periods a day, allowing students to participate in a full selection of electives and other activities for the remainder of the school day
Chromebooks, desktop computers, and iPads using word processing, design, photo, movie, music
One, two, and three-year program participation options
Opportunity for involvement through ADP Council and classroom leadership
The Academic Design Program emphasizes the 5 C's of Common Core:
Creativity: students design original solutions to multidimensional problems; they build 3-dimensional objects and structures
Collaboration: students work in teams, sharing ideas and drawing conclusions from the interactions; work-based learning experiences are built in to Challenges through the year
Critical Thinking: all solutions to problems must be "never before seen" and apply the concepts of core academic subjects
Communication: students have informal class discussions and reflections of the curriculum verbally and/or in writing; they present solutions live, in class or via other multi-media resources
Citizenship: students are in work groups throughout the year and have rights, privileges and responsibilities within those groups as well as across the program
We integrated with Google Sheets to scan students into our tutorial period. This will help us know where students are, analyze student data, and find ways to continually improve academic support.
