Curriculum Structure

The 20 modules that make up the Ford PAS curriculum are organized into seven themes:

Several modules occur in more than one theme. Although grade levels ranging from 9 through 12 are suggested for each module, these are general recommendations, and the modules do not need to be completed in a particular sequence. Many modules are also appropriate for college courses, and several have been adapted for use in middle schools.

Ford PAS modules are intended to be taught over periods ranging from five to twelve weeks, but many may be extended to as long as a semester. Each module includes a sample calendar showing how the activities may be scheduled.  Each module has a coherent topic and an ongoing project. All modules include a module project, one or more quizzes, and a final test. Each module has a Student Guide and a Teacher Guide that includes the Student Guide pages.
