Ross uses a cultural history lens to examine other disciplines—mathematics, science, languages and literature, visual arts, performing arts, media and technology, and wellness. This integrated, multidisciplinary approach helps to foster students’ critical thinking and active problem-solving abilities. Please check website for details. |
