PWCS uses an exploratory model for elective and related arts instruction in middle school that features a large variety of content and the maximizing of options for students as they move into the upper grades.
Schools should schedule students for nine-week rotations of elective courses in career and technical education and the visual arts in sixth and, if necessary, seventh grade to make sure students get broad exposure to different areas of study. They should pair these rotations with year-round performing arts, and health and physical education courses, and where it is age- and program-appropriate, world language electives to make sure all students, to include English learners, special education, and gifted education students have equally broad exposure to the available middle school curriculum.
