"The New England Innovation Academy (NEIA) aims to promote hands-on learning with interdisciplinary aspects from standard academic subjects such as Mathematics, English, Social Studies, and Science. The research team’s goal for the Interactive Qualifying Project was to create a curriculum plan compiled of outdoor, project-based, interdisciplinary activities for the sixth graders at NEIA. To complete these goals, the research team conducted various interviews, a few focus groups, and secondary research to learn more about active learning, the benefits and drawbacks of outdoor learning, and potential activities that they could incorporate into the sixth grade curriculum plan. After the findings were compiled, the research team found common themes from the various sources and used them in the design of the curriculum plan. This plan has been presented to the NEIA sponsor and faculty, who will implement it in Fall 2021 when the school officially opens. " . .
