CIED 626 Integrating Curriculum (Formerly MED 609)
Students examine features of integrated curricula and review designs of quality work, including standards-driven instruction, essential elements of quality work, integration of content to strengthen transfer of knowledge, and frameworks for designing both integrated and interdisciplinary work. Students create original work for learners which includes a product focus, product standards, novelty and variety, choice, freedom from initial failure, and authenticity. A variety of performance-based and alternative assessments are included in the integrated framework.
