Who We Are

S.C.O.P.E. Academy's Kindergarten through 4th grade instructional staff deliver an integrated curriculum where content is connected intentionally in an interdisciplinary design. Our trained staff plans together and continuously reflects, revises, and assesses how their teaching is impacting the learning. Together they carefully plan for a daily curriculum that places a rich emphasis on project-based work where students are able to apply and build skills daily in the S.T.E.AM. method of incorporating science, technology, engineering, art, and math as they research, problem solve, and create solutions as they work.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Language Arts

We use a structured literacy approach to teaching the language arts. Our curriculum is built on the science of reading best practices and a proven framework.

Language Arts Curriculum: K-2

The Grades K-2 curriculum offers:

• Two hours per day of content-based literacy (module lessons and Labs)
• One hour of structured phonics (K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block).
• All together, these three hours of curriculum are considered comprehensive, meaning that they explicitly teach and formally assess all strands and standards of the Ohio State Standards for ELA-literacy for each grade level.

MATH

Math Workshop

Our Math Workshop encourages students to be mathematicians who investigate the big ideas of mathematics from Day 1. Our Eureka Math Squared curriculum connects math to the real world in ways that take the fear out of math and build student confidence-helping students achieve true understanding lesson by lesson and year after year. Curiosity and engagement are hallmarks of our teaching. The curriculum strives to instill deep, conceptual understanding that students can build on as high as they want to while also allowing them to find the joy in the subject. In math workshop students learn to think, strategize and solve problems… not just get answers.

​

Throughout our daily Math Workshops, students:

• use manipulatives, digital and visual representations to explore attributes of objects, likenesses and differences, the baseline for all problem solving.
• focus on deep understanding of small numbers, which enables them to work with larger numbers and develops number sense which is critically important.
• discover shapes and space in their environment, applying their knowledge of attributes to measure width, length, weight and capacity.
• play math games and solve puzzles reinforcing that math is fun!

​

Students learn multiple math strategies, so they can solve more kinds of problems more efficiently, but they also gain a deeper understanding of mathematics and how to use it in daily life. Our students pursue mathematics with positive attitudes because they believe everyone can and must do mathematics.

​

Project Based Learning

​

STEAM-Science Technology Engineering Arts Math Labs

Labs

Labs are an important feature of the curriculum because they complement and extend student learning from the Module Lessons. They are designed to help teachers ensure that all of their students get the time to play and explore, become immersed in oral language and content knowledge, and practice skills and habits of character that they need—both to live joyfully and to be fully successful and proficient.

​

Our Lab Time is room to play, have fun and learn by researching and making things. Students share, photograph, write about, draw and discuss what they wonder, research and create. They learn how to find and develop ideas, problem solve, collaborate, share and show off what they've made. We believe that a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) integrated with literacy and social studies is essential for learners to become innovative, creative problem solvers.
