Block Schedules

All seven Freshman Seminar units are taught during the first semester.

 

 

 

 

Seven-period Day Schedule

Freshman Seminar lessons are taught during one period throughout the freshman year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Scheduling Options

While originally designed with material for a full, stand-alone course, Freshman Seminar can now be used more easily within another course, taught in an advisory capacity, and as a Summer bridge course.

 

 

 

 

 

Great flexibility with materials.

 

 

 

Freshman Seminar offers in-depth teaching materials. Embedded in each teacher’s manual is an examination of the various lesson components, assessments, creating rubrics, instructional strategies, and adapting the course for students with special needs. Each lesson outlines for teachers objectives, materials, instructional strategies & assessment opportunities, and making connections with other courses.
