Many schools under pressure to meet new standards of learning
mistakenly believe that they must adopt a narrow curriculum that
imposes strict boundaries on what students are taught. In this
book, Susan Drake and Rebecca Burns address this issue by offering
strategies for synchronizing standards across the disciplines. At
the heart of the book is the KNOW/DO/BE framework, which teachers
can use to ensure a curriculum that is both rigorous and relevant
to K-12 students at all stages of proficiency. Among other things,
this comprehensive framework allows teachers to * Map curricula *
Scan and cluster standards * Develop assessments and guiding
questions * Align integrated instructional strategies and
assessments Though the authors draw much of their data from
research on integration, their focus is on analyzing the real-life
experiences of teachers who have successfully integrated their
curricula in the service of accountability. The many benefits of
this approach that the authors explore include lower absenteeism,
fewer behavioral problems, and higher rates of homework completion.
By combining case studies with a wealth of supporting research,
Meeting Standards Through Integrated Curriculum offers teachers a
user- friendly system for meeting standards while advancing
broad-based learning.
