An ordinary classroom is visualized with a dry-erase board or a lecture in front of the class. NCHS has been breaking this stereotype by including alternative learning techniques to enhance the comprehension of a lesson. One effective way teachers have been using these techniques is by integrating a mock simulation with the curriculum. In these simulations, students represent a certain country or individual and work together to solve an issue. Also, each year the math department offers an extra credit opportunity by creating a “math music video” that incorporates a class’s current lesson. Teachers are working hard to come up with creative lessons that can teach the material while engaging the students.
