The Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies (Ford PAS) Curriculum
By Ford PAS Staff
Ford PAS is an experience-based academic and personal development curriculum comprised of a sequence of five semester-long elective courses taught in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Each course consists of three six-week modules. The program is an academically rigorous, standards-based interdisciplinary program that introduces students to the concepts necessary for future success. The Ford PAS program links classroom learning with the challenges students will face in post-secondary education and with the expectations of the workplace they will face as adults. These links are forged through community-wide, cooperative efforts innovative partnerships that join local high schools, colleges and universities, and businesses. Ford PAS is built around three core elements:
- Academic Knowledge: Delivering rigorous, standards-based content in math, science, social studies, and English language arts
- Interpersonal and Human Performance Skills: Teaching skills in critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, communication, personal management, and lifelong learning
- Business Concepts: Exploring content in finance, marketing, product quality, information systems, design and engineering, energy use, product development, workforce history, the environment, efficiency, planning, the global economy, international trade, and global citizenship.
