Curriculum Integration Strand
Curriculum Integration is a planned, multidisciplinary
approach to instruction that provides relevant and
rigorous learning experiences that make connections
within and across subjects and within and across
learners.
Embedded in Common Core State Standards, curriculum
integration provides real world opportunities for students
to become analytical problem solvers. Rigor is the foundation of curriculum integration
as students are able to transfer their learning to real-life situations.
The strategies that support curriculum integration are tiered to differentiate across
teacher readiness levels to include multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and
transdisciplinary approaches to learning. Click the link to learn more about Curriculum
