Integrative Curriculum Proposal
Connecting Science, Math, Literacy, and Technology
Changing How We Map Curriculum: Integration
Our goals for this new design include increasing student engagement in content, heightened retention of lessons, and improvement in scores on state and district assessments.
The Three Keys to Student Learning
Learning Across the Content Areas
The New System
Who? What? Why?
Grade Level Teams will meet on a monthly basis to focus on mapping one month of instruction at a time in a given subject area. Administrators will meet with these teams to oversee the process, give advice, and to stay familiar with what is being covered in the classrooms. Teachers and administrators will collaborate to create pre and post assessments in order to anticipate student needs and guide instruction.
This will be an improvement on the old system because it will save time as different subject areas are integrated into high-quality units. It will also ensure that units are engaging (involving activities that cover all different learning styles) and cover the standards thoroughly.
