Park Faculty Pursue Summer Projects Through FACA Program
This summer, Park faculty pursued a range of projects supported by our Summer Faculty and Curricular Advancement program (FACA). This innovative program for professional development provides teachers time and funding for intensive study that directly benefits Park students. Faculty work collaboratively, draw on the expertise of outside professionals, read, research, write, and discuss.
This year’s projects included Supercharging Student Engagement, Critical Reading and Writing Strategies in the Humanities, 7th Grade Activist Projects, Instrumental Proficiency, Brain Science, Mechanical Engineering and Physics Integration, and more. The impact of these projects is evident in our expansive, stimulating, and rigorous curriculum — we can’t wait to see it all in action next week.
