Classics as a Cross-Curricular Core in the Middle School with CTCWeb as the Technological Foundation
by Roger Stone, Alexandra Garcia-Mata, Nicholas Naso, Nathan Piccini, Austin Preparatory Middle School

Austin Prep's blueprint champions the Classics as the thematic core for a middle school curriculum encompassing English, Social Studies, Languages, Mathematics and Science. Incorporated in the blueprint are links to CTCWeb materials, including Global Glossary entries, exercises, and teaching guides. This demonstrates that CTCWeb has become such a powerful teaching and learning resource that it can serve as the technological foundation for this broad-based curriculum.
