Integrated Teaching and Learning - collaborating across grade level and content areas to coordinate what you're teaching so students can see connections from math, science, soc. st. etc....

# data[].attributes.body
Incorporating, melding all content areas while making sure specific content related concepts are highlighted while using, for example specific reading skills and strategies while learning social studies, science, math, et.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration and communication across the contents that allows all to be "rowing in the same direction".  Allows all stakeholders to be aware of priorities so priorities can be aligned and supported across all contents.

It could look like integrating a career theme into lessons (also known as thematic teaching), or it could just be math and science connection

Transformation to effectively integrate content begins before the students enter the classroom - starting with intentional planning guided by a frame-work rather than a structure. Teachers work/planning is guided by the framework while the direction of the projects is guided by the students through student -led learning. Students are able to utilize their skills they already have developed, be inspired by content that is relevant to their experiences and interests while impacting the areas of their learning that are weakest. ultimately eliminates the need for motivational gimmicks and tricks.

I believe that the communication and collaboration needed for successful integration of curriculum is only one part of the equation, we must also consider the planning needed to remove the barriers to allow access for ALL students to the curriculum.
