Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

UCLA-CS grounds instruction in three core beliefs, including that "Language and culture are central to learning and human development", and in four core student competencies developed with multiple stakeholders: becoming a self-directed, passionate learner; a master of academic content and skills; an individual who is bilingual, biliterate, and multicultural; and an active and critical participant in society. The competencies drive annual inquiry and improvement and, the report says, guard against narrowing of the curriculum.
