Curriculum Integration
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Struggle to find time to
address all of the required
standards adequately.
Provide opportunities for
students to meet standards
in different subjects at the
same time.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
“Silo” teaching results in
un“intentional”
duplication of instruction.
Expansion of time by
reducing duplication
allowing for more efficient
teaching.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Students
need to and seek to be
motivated and engaged but
many are not.
Students engage through
real world application of
material with meaningful
connections.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Students do not see a
connection between school
and life outside the
classroom.
Students develop relevant
conditions for learning by
applying their knowledge
and skills becoming life-
long learners.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Satisfying the expanded
range of student needs in
today’s diverse classroom.
Allows for increased
differentiated instruction
and varied instructional
modalities.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Consequence of
“silo” teaching can be
teacher isolation and
disconnection.
Increased opportunities for
teachers to become an
integral part of a
collaborative, professional
learning community.
Challenge
Curriculum Integration
Solution
Belief that non-Core courses
are not required to meet
specific standards and
therefore not RIGOROUS.
Belief that Core courses only
teach to standards and
therefore not RELEVANT.
Provides an opportunity for
integrating standards-based
teaching, learning, and
assessing while meeting
standards and competencies
with RIGOR, RELEVANCE,
and RELATIONSHIPS.
