The CCC Academy pilot program: (1) Uses a research-based and practice-proven experiential instructional model to deliver teaching and learning activities in digital arts, science, and technology to a culturally and economically diverse group of students in Connecticut high schools; (2) Uses an instructional model recognized by the National Science Foundation to develop digital arts, science, and technology curricula for students, grades 9–12; (3) Utilizes the existing CCC blended learning environment for students, teachers, industry professionals, and college faculty to deliver, extend, and enhance science and technology education using face-to-face classroom time and a variety of Internet eLearning technologies; (4) Includes professional development for high school teachers, including strategies to adapt the curricula for all students in all programs.
The Digital Arts and Sciences Academy facilitates the cross-discipline application of academic knowledge, creativity, design, and innovation skills with the integration of digital media into the study of emerging topics in science and technology. All courses feature problem-based learning and comprehensive projects as the primary instructional activities. The CCC Academy is a dynamic model that prepares students to be knowledgeable participants in our 21st century technological society.
