We recently presented a master class on Exercise Physiology at both the National Science Teachers Association and the Expeditionary Learning national conferences.

Some of our courses include Baldwin Art and Soul, Bones and Butterflies (examining the intricacies of Hispaniola through literature), The Search for Identity, Violence in Literature and the school play. Department wide practices are well established, founded on sound pedagogical principles as supported by Expeditionary Learning Practices and performance based assessment, within which there is significant opportunity for innovation and creativity.
