We develop our courses by looking at the requirements for both higher education and high school courses.
Our goal is to develop courses that:
are representative of how most colleges and universities present a subject.
align with state or national standards for high school.
have the structure and rigor required to be accredited by a college or university.
In higher education, we look at course syllabi from representative types of universities and review tables of content and instructional materials from the top textbooks in a subject. In some cases, we work with national organizations and look at any subject guidelines they may have issued. This allows us to create a course outline that represents the scope of a 3-hour college course and provide all content and activities that are taught in a traditional college or university course, along with a foundational set of topics and learning objectives.
