Content Knowledge. The application of cognitive skills is conducted within a broad knowledge base. Students at RISE will demonstrate competency in all core subject areas within the Summit Learning model, which includes vocabulary, ideas, events, concepts, properties, and details related to a given academic discipline. It has been proven that content knowledge supports and enables critical thinking. Mastery of a subject is accelerated when content knowledge is demonstrated. EVIDENCE-BASED PRINCIPLES • In order to be successful in college and careers, students must master rigorous Content Knowledge in each of the academic disciplines24. • Students acquire new Content Knowledge in reference to existing Content Knowledge25. • Content that is presented in multiple modalities allows for greater practice.1 • Content knowledge acquisition is foundational to the development of Cognitive Skills26. • Students need to explore Content Knowledge at their own pace based on their own interests27. • Students need multiple opportunities to demonstrate competence in Content Knowledge28. APPLICABILIY RISE students will have the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning. Learning is a cyclical process and even in times when students fall short of their goals, an opportunity is presented to review learning strategies, set a new goal and re-try. Educators will be trained on platforms which offer immediate feedback such as Google Docs, ▇▇▇▇ Academy, and the Summit Learning Platform. 23 What is Project Based Learning? (2017).
