Much of the IB approach is in specifically designed labs. IB is most interested in students learning the process of science from a hands-on perspective. Students are required to individually design, run, statistically analyze, and formally write-up a minimum of two labs. Other instructors from around the world then review grading to normalize the expectations for lab write-ups across the world of IB. The second year (HL) includes additional study of nucleic acids, metabolism, cell respiration and photosynthesis, plant biology, genetics and evolution, and animal physiology.

Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x (ChiLat) history is US History. This course will engage students in a year-long exploration of the experiences, contributions and struggles of the ChiLat peoples in the United States of America. Throughout this academically rigorous and culturally relevant and responsive learning journey, students will be guided to deepen their understanding of who they are, from where they come, how they have come to this place in time, and to have a greater sense of where it is they are going (their purpose). Of paramount importance, the goal of this course is to facilitate students to move toward a greater knowledge and love of self (of the nuances, complexity and beauty of their lives, of their challenges and struggles) and their unique, yet connected, story.

This historical investigation begins with the critical connection to and examination of the ancient meso-American past (including the Inca) and its significant relationship to contemporary American society. From there, students will study historic moments and movements spanning European and Spanish colonialism, its impact on indigenous peoples (1st Nations) of the hemisphere and the creation of the mestizo (indigenous, African and European) identity and experience of the ChiLat peoples. The course will engage students through both the use of “big ideas” and inquiry. Critical concepts will anchor the examination of historical events. Themes include Origin & Identity; Dispossession, Displacement & Defiance; Self-Determination & Organizing; Solidarity, Resistance & Liberation.

Students will examine foundational texts in Ethnic Studies and ChiLat Studies as a lense from which to explore the history of the United States. Students will investigate the intersection between ethnicity, culture, nationality, race, and gender and how these aspects of ourselves shape and are shaped by dominant systems. Students will also learn about how the social construct of identity, particularly race, is created, contested, and altered by historic and economic processes. There will be special emphasis on institutions, trends, movements, problems and socio-political advancements relevant to the ChiLat community in the United States, and its relationship to the development of the United States as a whole.

Each student will be supported to:

learn and make connections between themselves and historical events in the United States, and the relationship of this history, to the present;
critically study the past so we as a society can make better decisions in the present, impacting the future;
center the lived experience and histories of ChiLat peoples in the study of US history;

This course builds on skills introduced in the Creative Writing I and II courses and further focuses on the development of a contemplative and creative writing practice through exposure to myriad styles, techniques, and forms of writing. Creative Writing III provides students with the opportunity to strengthen writing skills while reading with the intention of "apprenticing" published authors. This course additionally facilitates the steps towards publication of original works, focusing on the acts of revision and publication, and the necessary academic steps involved in reaching these goals with an intention and an understanding of how current and past masters have managed the feat. Following a similar path with regards to both fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose, and any other imaginable genre of current communication, the study and discussion of material distinguished by its critical and scholarly acclaim will allow for opportunities to emulate, interpret, and revisit the same stylistic and thematic concerns of the authors being examined. The course insists on students taking artistic ownership of their writing, along with the willingness to share material that is reflective of a yearlong exploration of "voice," and the writing tools needed to achieve it, in the most unique and authentic manner possible.

Changing Hearts and Minds is a year-long course that teaches students to act as purveyors of change in the world-at-large. Throughout the course students will analyze a variety of print and digital texts in order to identify and interpret an author's, artist's, and/or designer's message, and to determine how a specific audience drives a creator's decision-making process. Students will evaluate and successfully use visual design principles and elements to enhance, distribute and increase the visibility of a message or cause. This process will lead students to use writing and the principles of design to create texts and visuals that tell stories and convey effective messages for the purposes of effecting change; this also leads students to be critical thinkers and active receivers of messages. Students will read fiction and nonfiction as sources of inspiration and discovery and then write to learn with an emphasis on how choices of diction and syntax shape a message. Throughout the course, students will use collaboration processes, oral communication, presentation and creative problem solving to strengthen and apply their knowledge of written and visual messaging. Offered to 12th-grade students in the SBHS Visual Arts and Design Academy.

The fundamental purpose of Integrated Mathematics I is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, organized into units, deepen and extend understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Integrated Mathematics I uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The final unit in the course ties together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. This course will prepare students for college-preparatory coursework in high school to meet college entrance requirements.

Additionally, the added rigor of learning in a second language will prepare students for careers and environments in which academic vocabulary will not always be in English.

The fundamental purpose of Integrated Mathematics I is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, organized into units, deepen and extend understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Integrated Mathematics I uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The final unit in the course ties together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. This course will prepare students for college-preparatory coursework in high school to meet college entrance requirements.

In grades 9 and 10, or in grades 10 and 11, there is an option (three courses in two years) option for students who demonstrate the ability to handle the acceleration required to complete Integrated Math II, Integrated Math III and Pre Calculus in two school years. Compaction focuses on the same Common Core State Standards content standards of the respective grade level in a faster pace. This is recommended for students who prefer acceleration over depth, complexity, and novelty. Students must possess above average mathematical computational skills with a strong conceptual understanding of grade level mathematics.

The focus of Integrated Mathematics 2 is on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions; comparing their characteristics and behavior to those of linear and exponential relationships from Integrated Math 1. The need for extending the set of rational numbers arises and real and complex numbers are introduced so that all quadratic equations can be solved. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional probability and counting methods, including their use in making and evaluating decisions. The study of similarity leads to an understanding of right triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics through Pythagorean relationships. Circles, with their quadratic algebraic representations, round out the course. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

It is in Integrated Math 3 that students pull together and apply the accumulation of learning that they have from their previous courses, with content grouped into four critical areas, organized into units. They apply methods from probability and statistics to draw inferences and conclusions from data. Students expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. They expand their study of right triangle trigonometry to include general triangles. And, finally, students bring together all of their experience with functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems.

They explore the history of recorded sound as a basis for understanding how technological innovation has, and continues to, propel major changes in the way music is created, produced and consumed. They compare current trends in music to musical styles from other historical periods and see that each reflects the social and technological constructs of its time. Music production combines creative ability with technical skills. By the end of this course, students will have acquired the building blocks of both. More importantly, they will understand and appreciate the power of music to communicate ideas, evoke emotions, and serve as a unifying force for society.

College Prep

UC Area g

Grades: 9-12

Music Theory is a semester-length fine arts elective for high school students. The course requires no prior instrumental, vocal, or music theory study. Using the piano keyboard as a visual basis for comprehension, the course materials explore the nature of music, integrating these concepts:

rhythm and meter
written music notation
the structure of various scale types
interval qualities
melody and harmony
the building of chords
transposition

Throughout the series of assignments, ear training exercises are interspersed with the bones of composition technique, building in students the ability not only to hear and appreciate music, but step-by-step, to create it in written form as well.

This highly interactive course culminates in the students producing original compositions, which while based on standard notation, demonstrate facets of personal expression. As the students’ ability to perform increases in the future, they will better understand music and therefore better demonstrate its intrinsic communication of emotion and ideas.
