Blueprint overview
The Connect Blueprint is for teachers who would like their students to experience another culture through targeted discussion of specific cultural elements, including but not limited to music. This blueprint puts more emphasis on integrating with important curriculum areas such as History, Social Science, and English Language Arts. All exchanges are led by instructors who embody the culture being discussed. Classroom teachers can choose from a variety of frameworks that include topics like ancient civilizations, religion, politics, and key historical movements. This blueprint is the broadest entry point into Culture Connect — designed to work across departments and grade levels.
Format
Students can connect remotely from home or share the same space with their classmates. No instruments or special equipment required.
Requirements
No minimum exchange requirement. Content covered is at the discretion of the classroom teacher.
