//Clicking one of these units will hyperlink you to the contents of that specific unit Each unit is further broken down into Sections, which are ultimately subdivided into activities//

The sections within each unit are organized by "Subject". Though the annual plan here is interdisciplinary, it is important to realize that many activities fall primarily into one of the traditional subjects or departments: Applied Skills, English Language Arts, Environmental studies, Fine Arts, Mathematics, Health and Career Education (H.A.C.E. or C.A.P.P.), Information Technology, Physical Education, Sciences, Social Responsibility and Social Studies. Each unit also includes a section entitles 'General', for lessons which do no neatly fit into any other department, or which are useful for inclusion in many or all subjects.

//In theory, this plan could be one of four in effect in a given year, such that each team member's class has a different focus. Alternately, this plan may be unilaterally implemented in year (a), while different foci are used for subsequent years (b), (c) and (d).//
