Curriculum

NY Times, 11/29/06, Photo: Theo Rigby PVCI's curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (MCFs) standards and learning strands for Arts, English Language Arts, Foreign Languages, Comprehensive Health, Mathematics, History/Social Science, Science and Technology/Engineering. PVCI’s curriculum addresses the learner outcomes for all Massachusetts students at a given grade level. Instructional strategies and resources are compatible with best practices in immersion education. Teachers develop unit and lesson plans that address learner outcomes as well as describe instructional delivery using best practices in immersion education.
 Some subjects are taught in English and some in Chinese. For subjects taught
in Chinese, PVCI adapts and develops instructional resources that are
either aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks (MCFs) or are easily
aligned to produce grade appropriate and linguistically
accessible Chinese teaching materials. Where possible, curricular resources are adapted to support PVCI’s cultural mission. Adaptation of English
language curriculum for use in immersion programs is a strategy that has been
successfully implemented in Chinese immersion programs.
