Design Connections Partnership (DCP)
Currently in its sixth year, DCP is underway in ten New Haven public schools in grades 1-5. This multi-year, multi-grade project is part of the mathematics curriculum.
Each year, the program serves 25 classroom teachers and their 600 students, 10 math coaches, and 10 art teachers.
The DCP goal is to use architecture and design as a problem-solving tool to integrate math and science learning with sequential and comprehensive art and design-based learning in order to:
create standards-based Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) lessons
introduce STEM-related careers
develop 21st Century skills – collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking
encourage students to apply academic concepts in authentic tasks
foster students' sense of community and civic involvement
