Content
More of what students need Based on the feedback teachers gave us, we made sure that Prism delivers on two key areas: Critical Thinking and Skills for College Life.
Critical Thinking
In order to truly prepare for college coursework, students need to develop the full range of thinking skills. Prism teaches explicit critical thinking skills in every unit of every level. These skills adhere to the taxonomy developed by Benjamin Bloom. By working within the taxonomy, we are able to ensure that your students learn both lower-order and higher-order thinking skills.Â
Skills for College Life
In each unit, a unique section called "On Campus" teaches students valuable skills beyond academic listening and speaking. From asking questions in class to participating in a study group and from being an active listener to finding help, students learn how to navigate university life. The section begins with a context-setting listening, and moves directly into active practice of the skill.
