Creating Standards-Based Integrated Curriculum

The Common Core State Standards Edition

What students must know, do, and be have always been the focus of curriculum, but creating integrated curriculum that engages learners in ways that can be measured withináaccountability-driven environments has proven increasingly challenging in recent years. In this completely revised and updated edition of SusanáDrake's classic text on integrated curriculum, the author provides a new approach toástandards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Within a framework that allows for multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to curriculum integration, the author focuses on planning assessment tasks, designing instructional strategies, developing daily activities, and connecting big questions to big understandings. á
