A Journey to Curriculum Integration

A Journey to Curriculum Integration

1. Teachers can start by locating curriculum standards across subject areas to find the common concepts across disciplines.

   • Dissect the Curriculum Clusters according what the students need to KNOW, what the students need to DO and what values are BEing taught.
     • Discover what is the "Big Question" or the enduring value that is at the essence of the unit/ What you hope the student will be able to express for themselves at the end of the course.
       • Now the teachers can collaborate to create a culminating task with acompaning assessment tools that are connected to curriculum standards. This is where the students can demonstrate their understanding in a differentiated way.
         • Finally, it is important to include daily learning opportunities and have assessments for learning quilted within these exercises for continued reflection and accountability.
