10. MISSION CONTROL POST-SECONDARY MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL STEM: Allows disciplines to focus on cross collaboration between middle school staff, high school staff, and post-secondary. STEM: Allows for inter-disciplinary, project based learning combining elements of one or more focuses of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Collaboration between ‘like- type’ programs no matter what level or what building. Knowledge is not proprietary. We MUST collaborate to implement, develop and sustain this vision.
