• promotes curiosity through hands-on learning, scientific and engineering practices, exploration and risk-taking;
• develops scientific literacy and fosters the application of science to prepare students for college and career readiness;
• is continually reviewed to keep current with scientific research and technological advances, supported by ongoing professional development; and
• engages students and involves parents, the community and institutions of higher education.
