Description

Translate the new standards into meaningful curriculum!

The Common Core State Standards offer a shared language that ensures consistency and accountability, while also giving you the flexibility to design a curriculum that′s right for your students. Of course, knowing what you need to teach doesn′t tell you how to teach it—and that′s where curriculum integration expert Susan M. Drake comes in.

In this new edition of her classic text, Drake applies the essential principles of standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment to today′s unique challenges. Focusing on multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches, she provides guidance on

  • Unpacking the Common Core State Standards
  • Planning assessment tasks
  • Designing instructional strategies
  • Developing daily activities
  • Helping students connect essential questions to enduring understandings

Included are new examples of exemplary programs, discussion questions, a sample completed interdisciplinary curriculum, and activity suggestions for building your own standards-based integrated curriculum. This proven resource is the road map teachers and curriculum developers need to navigate the unfamiliar territory of the CCSS and to develop a curriculum that helps their students thrive.
