ComponentsThe Interdependence Institute
The Institute acts entrepreneurially as a seedbed for ideas. While many activities currently involve individuals and smaller groups, some are more broadly institutionalized. More will become institutionalized as planning goes forward, so that all students will ultimately have equal access to "assured experiences" at various points in their K-12 careers. The District will also continue to offer opportunities for small groups and individuals to explore interests and extend their experiences in depth.Student Experiences: Broadly Institutionalized- Cultural Universals (grade 3)
