Integrated curriculum is an approach to curriculum development where multiple content areas are “integrated” into a coherent learning throughway creating an engaging, relevant program of study for students.
Integrated curriculum also fosters collaboration because interdisciplinary team’s can come together to design.
College and Career Pathways lend themselves to Integrated Curriculum design because the conditions for industry themed course work are part of a day’s work! Teachers need support to design in this way and Administrators have an opportunity to leverage Integrated Curriculum Design as Professional Learning for teachers. Teachers thrive when they learn while they build curriculum in collaborative teams!
I will be presenting an Integrated Design Studio at the Linked Learning Convention next week in Anaheim if you want to learn more.
