An integrated curriculum focuses on developing learning and thinking skills necessary to process information within an ever expanding field of knowledge. Human beings have multiple intelligences. We can better address all intelligences when we integrate content areas, recognizing that there are alternate routes to the same destination. Life is not a series of activities relegated to specific time frames. An integrated curriculum is more akin to real life experiences.
Integrated curriculum encourages a variety of instructional strategies to improve student learning.
Build relationships while working as part of a team. Commit to a two year program. Are accountable to high standards. Forge meaningful and long-lasting relationships with teachers and other students. Prepare for the new state assessments and the Certificate of Mastery.
