Career and Technical Education
In this quarter-long course, students use computational thinking as well as the engineering design process to solve complex, open-ended problems. This course includes fundamental computer science concepts which support computational thinking. Computational thinking allows students to develop the ability to logically order and analyze data and to create solutions using an algorithmic approach (ordered steps). Students will focus on applying the engineering design process and participate in design activities to understand how criteria, constraints, and processes affect designs. Brainstorming, visualizing, modeling, constructing, testing, and refining designs provide firsthand opportunities for students to understand the uses and impacts of innovations. This is a required quarter long course for all sixth grade students.
Career and Technical Education
In this quarter-long course, students develop critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making skills through projects and activities needed to be contributing members of their families and communities Through food labs, students will learn food and kitchen safety and use of basic, healthy ingredients to plan and prepare tasty and nutritious meals and snacks.
Career and Technical Education
This quarter-long course equips students with essential skills for independence and life management, including food preparation and kitchen safety, soft skill development, transferable work habits, leadership development and employability skills for diverse career fields. Through hands-on activities, projects, interactive lessons, and real-world applications, students will gain practical knowledge that applies career and technical knowledge to everyday living.

English Language Arts
This quarter-long course is designed as an introduction for students to foster a critical eye of their writing and engage in thoughtful discourse about texts. Students will then create their own responses that mirror the mentor text and demonstrate mastery of the writing skills that were analyzed. Students will be introduced to the workshop approach, where they will be reading and writing daily so that final products can be constructed and polished throughout the course.

Mathematics
This seminar course is designed to provide support through an engaging additional period of mathematics. Units are designed to parallel and strengthen the mathematics being taught in the Mathematics 6 class. Students will develop a deep understanding of mathematics by exploring real-world applications and connections to the concepts, skills, and practices they are learning. This course is taken concurrently with Mathematics 6.
Mathematics
In this course, students will explore the concepts, skills and practices used to develop a deep understanding of: 1) rigid transformations and congruence; 2) dilations, similarity and slope; 3) proportional relationships, scale drawings and interpreting data; 4) linear relationships; 5) linear equations and linear systems; 6) functions and volume; 7) associations in data; 8) exponents and scientific notation, and 9) Pythagorean theorem and irrational numbers.

Science
This course is comprised of units designed to address earth science ideas from the Maryland Science Standards.There are six earth science topics in middle school addressed through six units: Space Systems, History of Earth, Earth’s Interior Systems, Earth’s Surface Systems, Weather and Climate, and Human Impacts. Units are organized around a driving question. Within each driving question, students engage in a series of hands-on learning experiences that are carefully designed to immerse them in a collaborative learning environment. Students utilize the science and engineering practices as they construct their understanding of important concepts. Students also have opportunities to learn and apply engineering specific practices such as designing solutions to identified problems.

Students will expand their skills by providing authentic school-based experiences connected to skills needed for future employment and community life. These experiences will be based on appropriate communication, self-advocacy and learning behaviors needed for any job or career. Students will effectively use purposeful and appropriate communication across all settings, exhibit behavior that matches their tasks and/or environment, and decrease the need for adult prompting and increase engagement for instruction/ learning. This course is designed for students with IEPs who are working toward a Maryland Certificate of Program Completion.

This course introduces students to brain development and strengthening executive functioning skills. Students explore learning digitally with lessons about organizing digital space, using email functions, and working in Google Drive. It also develops study skills such as mnemonics, note taking and graphic organizers. This course also includes a module about respecting others and anti-bullying. Students in this course will work on a digital portfolio to show what they have learned in each section of the course. They will include 2-3 examples of their best learning activities. These activities will be graded throughout the course and will make up the final grade.
Other
Students will learn strategies that enable them to navigate this their middle and high school careers successfully. In addition, students will learn how the adolescent brain functions. Students will develop an understanding of 1) why teens respond more emotionally and less rationally to situations; 2) practices that promote “roadways in the brain” and 3) the need for students to develop and implement a personal survival guide for high school.
Other
Digital citizenship is an idea that encompasses all realms of the web from the globalized world in which we live. This module has been designed for nextgeneration learners to provide rigor and relevance for all students. During this unit, students will create an authentic product that could be published online. While exploring the different topics, students will reflect on how each topic impacts their personal publishing product.
