Drawn from extensive research and real-life experience

Meeting Standards Through Integrated Curriculum is a guidebook created in response to the unfortunate tendency K-12 schools have encountered to adopt a narrow curriculum that places severe boundaries on the scope of what students are taught, under the mistaken belief that this is the best way to achieve higher standards. Meeting Standards Through Integrated Curriculum offers an approach to improve the quality of grade school education without sacrificing depth. The KNOW/DO/BE framework at the heart of the discussion embraces rigor and relevance alike in the K-12 curriculum. Drawn from extensive research as well as real-life experiences of teachers who have successfully integrated their curricula, Meeting Standards Through Integrated Curriculum is a combination of vision, how-to instructions, extensive questions and answers, trouble shooting tips, multi-disciplinary models, and more. The is a very welcome and timely contribution to education reference shelves.
