Empowering Future Innovators: Science at Empower Generations High School

At Empower Generations High School, a free public school in Lancaster, CA, we believe students learn best by doing. That’s why our science program is built on project-based learning and constructivist methods. Our learners don’t just read about science; they actively engage with it. Authentic, real-life projects make learning come alive, helping Empower Generations High Schoolers make deeper connections and retain information. 

Personalized Growth through Competency-Based Education

Using a Competency-Based Education (CBE) model, Empower Generations High School guides learners to progress based on their mastery of skills and competencies at their own pace. This personalized approach caters to diverse learning styles, leading to greater success. Our competency framework aligns with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. As learners demonstrate mastery through work evidence (like lab write-ups with photos), they advance academically. We use formative and summative assessments to provide personalized feedback and ensure thorough understanding.

Developing Scientific Thinkers

Our science curriculum cultivates strong scientific thinking skills, guiding Empower Generations High Schoolers through observation, communication, comparison, organization, relating cause and effect, inferring, and applying knowledge to invent solutions.

Authentic Assessment for Real-World Success

Empower Generations High School is dedicated to fostering curiosity and preparing young adults who are confident, capable, and innovative thinkers. We use authentic assessments to evaluate real-world skills, ensuring learners are prepared for successful careers and fulfilling lives.
