商品簡介
Drake (graduate and undergraduate studies in education, Brock U., Canada) shows teachers and curriculum developers how to create a standards-based interdisciplinary curriculum that balances accountability and relevance within a twenty-first century context. She explains how to create curriculum using the Common Core State Standards as a guide and explores definitions for integrated curriculum, interdisciplinary education since the 1930s, the rationale for this approach, and fusion, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to integration and how they are affected by the standards movement. She then discusses the basics of the accountability movement, the purpose of standards and their challenges, what individual standards require of students, and curriculum mapping; six example programs (new to this edition); the groundwork for the backward design of an integrated curriculum; and the design of units, assessment, daily instructional activities, and putting it all together. This edition adopts new language for key terms to match those being used in the field, reorders some processes, and has new program examples and discussion questions, a sample completed interdisciplinary curriculum, and activity suggestions for building a curriculum.
