EDUC 4167

An integrated curriculum is described as one that connects different areas of study by cutting across subject-matter lines and emphasizing unifying concepts. Integration focuses on making connections for students, allowing them to engage in relevant, meaningful activities that can be connected to real life. This course will focus on strategies, methodology and concepts of teaching and assessment at the elementary level, with a particular focus on project-based and community engagement. The course will employ a blended approach with active learning taking place inside and outside of the classroom and also on-line in the Moodle platform where technology allows for the integration of discussion forums, video, and downloading of readings and the uploading of course assignments.
