| This school year, the BHS Innovation Fund is supporting re-envisioning Legal Studies as Justice in Action, a new two-block senior elective that links English and Social Studies to examine how the law operates in both theory and lived experience. In year one, the Fund’s $50,000 award is underwriting coverage so that English and Social Studies faculty can co-teach – providing daily shared planning time for the teaching team to make this ambitious interdisciplinary course possible. This dedicated capacity allows instructors to develop lessons, align curriculum across disciplines, coordinate community placements for students, and build partnerships with the stakeholders in the justice system – work that is essential but rarely feasible within a traditional school schedule. Following the first year, the Fund will continue its support for the launch of Justice in Action through three consecutive years of summer planning support to refine the curriculum, strengthen community connections, and ensure the course’s long-term sustainability. |
