# data[].attributes.body
Chhabra (2017) posited that integrating curriculum in the classroom includes combining different subject areas and then, teaching them in relation to a singular theme or an idea. Innovative teachers and schools prefer integrating the curriculum in their classrooms as it improves student achievement and leads to an increase in student standardized scores. Placing student achievement on top priority, an integrated curriculum utilizes the mentioned three different approaches of integration. Benefits of Integrated Curriculum Model

1. It focuses on basic skills, content, and higher-level thinking.

2. It provides a deeper understanding of content.

3. It encourages active participation in relevant real-life experiences.

4. It provides connections among various curricular disciplines.

5. It accommodates a variety of learning styles, theories and multiple intelligences. New Literacy Integration in the K to 12 Curriculum

The new literacy can be integrated into the K to 12 curriculum across subject areas as presented in the table below. However, the integration of new literacy is not limited to the identified disciplines, the given learning outcomes, suggested strategies and assessment. In fact, each learning area can integrate as many new literacies as possible depending on the lesson, the nature of the subject and the objectives or intended outcomes. New literacy integration can take place in as many disciplines as possible.

The curriculum incorporates everything that happens in school, including academics, arts, physical education, extracurricular activities, and support services and programs. As a result, this integrated curriculum allows students to pursue learning in a more comprehensive manner. In order to assist children acquire essential learning abilities, early childhood programs focus a heavy emphasis on the interconnectedness of all curricular areas.

To be certain, the Integrated Curriculum offers understudies with information in most of subjects, permitting them to make taught decisions concerning what is best for them and take part in pertinent, significant exercises that are appropriate to genuine conditions.

This concept claims that we can combine various curriculum into one and use it in the classroom. Integration of school curriculum in the classroom, as chhabra stated, can lead to achievement and a rise in students' test scores, as well as placing the kids' achievement as a primary priority.

As a result, the teacher has more options for transferring knowledge to his or her pupils' minds, and students can study without restrictions or bounds. It can also assist students in achieving more success in the classroom.

Teachers can integrate curriculum across content areas by anchoring units of study in issues and themes that are determined along with students. Researchers have studied curriculum integration in different capacities, and further research can continue to explore the impact of this approach to curriculum.

An integrative process combining language instruction with cultural education is described and discussed. The process is integrative in two ways because it relates target and native languages, cultures, and perceptions, and also relates the teaching of culture to the teaching of language. This approach incorporates eight stages; the first five are teacher-directed and the last three are student-directed.

They are:
1. Identification of a cultural theme
2. Presentation of cultural phenomena
3. Dialogue relating target and native cultures
4. Transition to language learning by discussing language needs discovered through use of the materials
5. Incorporation of language learning and practice
6. Verification of perceptions of the target and native cultures
7. Exercises in cultural awareness
8. Evaluation of language and cultural proficiency.

A sophomore French class's pursuit of "organization of adolescent sports programs" as a theme is given as an example of the progression of stages. Other issues discussed include limitations of the integrative process, models of culture within the language curriculum, integration of culture-learning strategies, the integrative process and global education, and evaluation within this process.

Curriculum Integration in the Classroom focuses on making connections for students, allowing them to engage in relevant, meaningful activities that can be connected to real life

"Integrating curriculum in the classroom includes combining different subject areas and then teaching them in relation to a singular theme or an idea. Innovative teachers and schools prefer integrating the curriculum in their classrooms as it improves student achievement and leads to an increase in student standardized scores. Student achievement being the primary focus, an integrated curriculum utilizes three different types of approaches of integration including the multidisciplinary approach, the interdisciplinary approach and the transdisciplinary approach."

By creating a curriculum integration in the classroom using service-learning, you are changing the teaching and learning experience for both the teacher and the learner. Curriculum Integration in the Classroom allow students to have a deeper understanding of the course subject matter and how to apply the material that they have learned in the classroom in a real-world situation. This ultimately helps prepare them for their future studies, career and life in general.

The integrated curriculum is a teaching method that attempts to increase student success. It concentrates on fundamental skills, content, and higher-order thinking. It provides a greater understanding of the subject, encourages active involvement in relevant real-life situations, and establishes linkages between curricular disciplines.

Without the limitations of topic boundaries, an integrated curriculum allows students to pursue learning in a holistic way. Reading, writing, listening, speaking, literature, drama, social studies, math, science, health, physical education, music, and visual arts are all part of the curriculum. It highlights the value of sustaining relationships with families, understanding children and how they learn, and using the community and cultural environment.

The integrated curriculum approach is successful in enhancing students' awareness of topic area connections while also challenging them. Students that took part in an integrated curriculum had a more positive attitude toward themselves and their school. Teachers will have a new chance to collaborate, which will improve teamwork.

Integration refers to exceptional students being partially taught in a mainstream classroom. Activities are adapted so the student can “fit in” with their mainstream peers while learning skills that may be better practiced in a room with more age-appropriate peers.

So in conclusion ,doing curriculum integration in the classroom may help students learn as a whole not only in a specific subject matter , course or even curriculum , but can be implied in relevance for real life circumstances. Explaining or reflecting a certain topic as a whole may not be stuck a specific learning that may lead to generalization and having a diverse insights about may help both participants and listeners a different kind of view for it .

Integrated curriculum allows children to pursue learning in a holistic way, without the restrictions often imposed by subject boundaries. In early childhood programs it focuses upon the inter-relatedness of all curricular areas in helping children acquire basic learning tools

It is also important because it promotes more equitable access to resources. Integrating schools can help to reduce disparities in access to well-maintained facilities, highly qualified teachers, challenging courses, and private and public funding and with the diverse classrooms, student prepares to succeed in a global economy.
