  2. Foundational and Integrative:Defined • Foundational courses are the ‘structure’ or initial learning that  makes for ‘applicability’ in other kinds of learning. Learning a structure creates ‘a model for understanding other things that one is likely to encounter’ and assists the student in ‘understanding in a way that permits many other things to be related to it meaningfully’. (From The Process of Education by Jerome S. Bruner) • Written and oral communication, critical thinking, and mathematical and symbolic reasoning, are the foundational means by which students develop scientific reasoning, information literacy, historical, cultural, environmental, and global awareness, social responsibility and citizenship. • The foundational emphases are the means by which students learn and integrate the other learning outcomes.

  3. Foundational vs. Integrative:

  4. Foundational Outcomes • Communication – Oral: Recognize, send, and respond to communications for varied audiences both as speaker and listener.(State Board Core, Communication)  • LEAP Value Rubric:  Communication • Communication – Written: Recognize, send, and respond to written communications for varied audiences as both writer and reader.(State Board Core, English Composition) • LEAP Value Rubric: Communication • Critical/Creative Thinking and Analysis: Engage and demonstrate the ability to analyze and evaluate information and arguments; select or design appropriate frame- works and strategies to solve problems in multiple contexts individually and collaboratively. (Across the curriculum)  • LEAP Value Rubric: Critical and Creative Thinking • Mathematical and Symbolic Reasoning:Apply mathematical reasoning to investigate and solve problems.(State Board Core, Mathematics) • LEAP Value Rubric: Quantitative Literacy

  5. Integrative Outcomes • Information Literacy:Access information for a given need, develop integrated set of skills, and have knowledge of information tools and resources. • LEAP Value Rubric: Information Literacy • Scientific Reasoning:Develop scientific reasoning to investigate and solve problems.(State Board Core, Natural Science) • LEAP Value Rubric: Inquiry and Analysis • Historical, Cultural, Environmental, and GlobalAwareness: Demonstrate the ability to think globally and inclusively with a basic understanding of key ideas, achievements, issues, diverse cultural views as they pertain locally, nationally, and globally.(State Board Core, Social Science)  • LEAP Value Rubric: Intercultural Knowledge and Competence • Valuing and Ethical Reasoning: Demonstrate the ability to apply what one knows, believes, and understands toward developing an empathetic and analytical understanding of others’ value perspectives.(State Board Core, Humanities or Social Science)  • LEAP Value Rubric: Ethical Reasoning

Integrative Outcomes • Aesthetic Response:Demonstrate the ability to recognize the elements of design, the unifying elements, the context, the purpose, and the effect of craftsmanship in artistic creations.
