The FTF curriculum will exist in a 10-period day schedule. As shown above, the regular SUSA curriculum exists in a 5-period day schedule. The start-to-finish school day is the same in both cases.
The FTF program will use a small learning group model that will provide regular one-on-one student/teacher interaction for all students. With the exception of the science and physical education classes, all FTF classes will be taught in the same classroom.
Period: Duration: Learning Activity
01.... 40 minutes: Reading: use Read Right program or hybrid
02.... 40 minutes: Story: film-based teaching of literary analysis
>> 5-minute break
03.... 40 minutes: Writing: grammar, sentence structure, composition
04.... 40 minutes: History: film-based teaching of historical analysis
>> 5-minute break
05.... 40 minutes: Mathematics: basic skills as needed
>> Lunch: 30 minutes
06.... 40 minutes: Science: the scientific method of investigation / lab skills
>> 5-minute break
07.... 40 minutes: Physical Education: coordination exercises / play games
>> 5-minute break
08.... 40 minutes: Reading: use Read Right program or hybrid
09.... 40 minutes: Writing: grammar, sentence structure, composition
10.... 40 minutes: Mathematics: basic skills as needed
Again, no homework will ever be required of FTF students. Also, the curriculum will not include projects of any sort. The sole purpose of the curriculum is to as quickly as possible give its students the necessary reading, writing, and mathematics skills to pass the PST while at the same time developing basic critical thinking skills in literary, historical, and scientific analysis.
