📚✏️ Who says learning has to happen in silos? At Mt. Washington Middle School, ELA and Social Studies teachers teamed up with ElevatED Studios to rethink the traditional school day. By finding natural overlaps in their standards, they co-designed powerful, connected learning experiences that made content more meaningful and relevant for students. This kind of collaboration reflects our staff's commitment to #BCPSProactiveInnovation and #BCPSSharedAccountability because when we blur the lines between subjects, we build deeper understanding and more engaging classrooms for our students. There’s no one-size-fits-all schedule. And here in BCPS, we’re proud to keep #MovingForward in how we imagine teaching and learning!
