Type Special Interest, Curriculum
These three essential questions form the basis of instruction at the Science Leadership Academy (SLA), a new Philadelphia high school opening in September 2006. The SLA is built on the notion that inquiry is the very first step in the process of learning. Developed in partnership with The Franklin Institute and its commitment to inquiry-based science, the SLA will provide a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum with a focus on science, technology, mathematics and entrepreneurship. Students at the SLA will learn in a project-based environment where the core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation and reflection are emphasized in all classes. This session will be a panel discussion of staff and students discussing their experience at SLA.
