Sinopsis

Trailblazer cultivates critical thinkers, readers, and writers and provides the language support they need to be ready to study subject-matter content in English. Trailblazing students take meaningful action beyond the classroom by developing the ability to shape their own answers to life’s big questions, and to view these questions through multiple perspectives.- MULTIPLE LITERACIES: Trailblazer takes a multiple literacy approach to prepare students for meaningful real-world interaction, by developing five critical literacies: textual literacy, visual literacy, global literacy, social literacy, and media literacy.- CRITICAL THINKING: Lessons that engage students with authentic non-fiction, globally diverse fiction, and information presented through multi-media inputs, prompt students to think critically and apply their language and skills to real-world contexts, developing confident readers and thinkers and inspiring active global citizens.- ROLE MODELS: The real-life stories of National Geographic Explorers inspire a new generation of trailblazing students to make a positive impact on their community.- ASSESSMENT: An integrated approach to the development and assessment of English language skills, strategies, and multiple literacies helps learners meet a broad range of curriculum standards and succeed on international exams.
