Strategies for moving students towards more holistic and authentic types of learning!
For both students and teachers, the mission is essential: to connect ideas, discern themes, and thread skills of various content areas into a cohesive whole. Yet, the question remains: ‘What does integrating the curricula really mean?’ The answers are provided in this updated resource that helps teachers create brain-compatible, learner-centered classrooms and better prepare students for lifelong learning.
Based on a four-pronged rationale for using an integrated curriculum—including findings from brain-based research, parental concerns, practitioner challenges, and student perspectives—Robin Fogarty offers ten models that allow teams of teachers to work together to group elements from various content areas into a coherent curriculum that effectively meets standards. The discussion of each model includes:
- A description of the model
- How the model can be applied in the classroom
- Benefits and challenges of the model for teaching and learning
- Guidelines for when and how to implement the model in the classroom
- A wealth of reproducibles to aid implementation
How to Integrate the Curricula offers the support educators need to integrate concepts, skills, and attitudes and immerse students in content through self-selected, personally relevant learning experiences.
