Developing Multidisciplinary Integrated Curriculum

2. Developing Multidisciplinary Integrated Curriculum Pier Sun Ho, Associate Director Pathway and Curriculum Development www.ConnectEdCalifornia.org

3. Objective • Support your work in developing integrated curriculum units for use in your pathway • Models and scaffolds for the design process • Time for collaboration, practice, and feedback • Next steps as a leadership team

4. Morning Agenda • Review design considerations • Identify common project pitfalls • Reflect on your current progress • Increase familiarity with design process through practice • Share out and plan next steps

5. Six Design Considerations

6. Overarching Theme Curriculum Mapping Essential Questions Performance Assessments Industry Partners Reflection & Revision

7. Organizational Project Models Instructional Leadership Conceptual

8. Starting Points

9. Tale of Two Projects

10. Common Design Pitfalls • Engaging fun is the only strength • Link between subject areas is weak, artifact of expanding a smaller project • Culminating project requires little, if any, application of standards-based subject content • Not authentic to the industry sector • Inefficient use of valuable instructional time • Others?

11. Project Development Process • Individual curriculum and performance mapping • Share out with your partners • Find a connection and develop it further

16. Demonstrate proper experimental procedure Draw conclusions from data regarding prevalence of bacterial contamination Identify various modes of transmission for common pathogens Explain how different factors influence the spread of disease Analyze and evaluate symptoms to determine patient health status Paraphrase the research into your own words. Formulate a preliminary thesis statement to reveal the specific point of the paper. Find information on the topic using a minimum of five sources Evaluate the credibility and reliability of resources. Prepare a formal outline using proper outlining form. Distinguish between active and passive transport along concentration gradients. Compare and contrast viral replication and cellular division Analyze structural differences between cells and viruses

21. Find and Develop a Connection

23. Moving Forward • How will you make sure all teachers in your pathway have the capacity to develop and implement integrated curriculum? • Should there be consistent processes and tools used? Who is in charge of that decision (e.g., district level, site level)? • What current district or school site practices or policies might be a barrier to doing this work? How and to whom should you communicate these barriers? • What assistance will teachers need in identifying appropriate performance measures as a basis for project development?
