Poston Create – We are excited to launch our pilot year of Poston Create. This education model will pull students from both grade levels to work in teams for their Social Studies, Language Arts, and Science classes. These teams will be facilitated by teachers from each of these disciplines. In this environment, students will work with teachers to create their learning and understanding of the crucial elements of Science and Social Studies utilizing Language Arts and Arts Integration skills. This will create a deeper and personalized understanding of essential skills and knowledge in an interdisciplinary approach. If you would like to learn more about Poston Create, visit the link under the “Programs” portion of our website https://poston.mpsaz.org/. After you visit our Poston Create page, if you have questions, call 480-472-2130 to schedule an in person or phone conversation with Mr. Rapier, he would love to explain.
