3 Our Curriculum Highly Effective Teaching (HET) Clayton-Bradley Academy teachers are trained in the Highly Effective Teaching model, based on proven strategies and methods for teaching and learning. The five principles of Highly Effective Teaching design are: Intelligence is a function of experience Learning is an inseparable partnership of body and brain There are multiple intelligences to solve problems and produce products Students are pattern seekers and program builders Teachers understand that a child's personality and temperament impact learning and performance Project-Based Learning At Clayton-Bradley Academy, students integrate knowledge from all content areas in order to solve real-world problems. Projects are conceived from grade-level standards and built around an open-ended question that drives student investigations. Students are able to make choices about project topics and solutions and present their findings to others, building collaboration skills, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity for future success. STEM Education CBA is committed to providing educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to prepare students for college and career. STEM education is driven by problem solving and discovery and places an emphasis on the process and design of solutions. At CBA, STEM is integrated with the arts and humanities in real-world projects and experiences. Students explore the intersection of arts and technology to develop critical thinking skills and creativity.
