Program Overview
Two Rivers Magnet Middle School features an integrated learning environment that combines traditional academics with a focus on environmental science and environmental engineering. Utilizing research-based teaching and learning practices in reading, mathematics, science, and technology, students make interdisciplinary connections; engage in project-based learning; and work with professionals in related environmental science and engineering fields as they develop and refine new skills. The school explicitly teaches the 5E Model of Inquiry to help students use and build upon prior knowledge and experience, construct meaning, continually assess their understanding of a concept, examine problems and make informed decisions concerning society’s relationship with the environment. This opportunity provides students with a continuum of learning as they prepare to progress into higher education and/or a career in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
