Science Teacher

 We are reinventing the approach to learning at Purdue Polytechnic High School. Student academic work is driven by projects, and instruction is based solely on the individual and collective needs of students. There are no predetermined classes where students move in groups according to a master schedule. Rather, teachers work together to arrange time for student instruction based on who needs it, when they need it, and how they best receive it.
