How are you smart?

Michael Jordan, former basketball player, Chicago Bulls

The greatest player in the history of the National Basketball Association,

Michael Jordan possessed an intellectual understanding of the game of

basketball. In addition to his jumping, shooting, running, passing, and guarding

skills, Jordan had an uncanny ability to sense what other players would do

before they did it, and adjust accordingly, even after leaving the ground. His

predictions were based on his understanding of other players’ skills, tendencies,

and personalities. Jordan could also visualize the geometry of the game,

anticipating with great accuracy where a ball would bounce, how high he would

have to jump, and how fast other players could move into position. Jordan’s

long career required that he re-create himself as his physical abilities changed

with age. As an older player, he couldn’t jump as high, so he developed a mid-

range jump shot to get to the basket past younger players.

Mohandas Gandhi, political and religious leader in India

Mohandas Gandhi’s life was guided by his search for truth. He believed

one could find truth only through tolerance and concern for others. As a

teacher, he taught others to master fear and to practice nonviolent

solutions to problems. Gandhi developed a method of direct social

action based on nonviolence and truth that reflected his belief that how

one behaves is more important than what one achieves. Gandhi’s

teachings enjoyed widespread following, ultimately leading to India's

independence from Great Britain and the beginning of social change.

Oprah Winfrey, TV talk show host, actor, producer, educator,

philanthropist Oprah Winfrey is best known as host and producer of

her own show, seen by 22 million viewers a week in the United States

and aired in 113 countries. She has won prestigious awards in

broadcasting, as well as the National Book Foundation’s 50th

Anniversary Gold Medal for her influential contribution to reading and

books through her Oprah Book Club. Viewers trust Oprah's judgment

and suggestions, appreciate the skill with which she engages others in

discussion, and admire her forthright candor about her own life and

struggles.

What does it mean to be intelligent in our society?

Four Degrees of Integration

Models of

Integration

Is it

integration

or…

…is it

enhancement?

Lemon meringue pie

consists of the crust,

the lemon filling,

and the meringueThree separate parts.

The meringue enhances

the lemon filling and

crust. The lemon filling

is still pretty good

without the meringue.

The crust is good too.

Well, a lemon roll has

has three parts: lemon

filling, crust, and

powdered sugar—and

they’re integrated

It would be difficult

to separate the

lemon filling from

the crust.

They’re pretty

integrated

Integration Look-For List

There are intentional connections between two or more content areas

The standards for two or more content areas naturally align

Two or more connected areas are exploring mutual essential questions

through collaborative problem solving and process-based learning

There is imaginative and creative application of skills learned previously

through direct instruction in each of the content areas

Evidence of at least one of the following 21st-century skills:

Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication

Integrated subject areas are assessed equally

Six Degrees

of Separation

Curriculum integration is

NOT a new idea

“The prominent weakness of education is isolation of subjects; reading by itself, --first steps and consequent ones; writing in copy books; arithmetic with an occasional application; geography without history, history without geography, ‘art of art’s sake.’ Indeed it seems as if the universal tendency has been to separate subjects as widely as possible; to completely ignore organic synthesis… No truth is more striking than the residential relation of all subjects to another.”--1894

Francis W. Parker

(1837-1902)

Curriculum integration

defined

“A curriculum approach that

purposefully draws together

knowledge, perspectives and

methods of inquiry from more than

one discipline to develop a more

powerful understanding of a central

idea, issue, person or event. The

purpose is not to eliminate the

individual disciplines, but to use

them in combination. --2005

Walter Parker,

University of Washington

Common Manifestations of

Curriculum IntegrationElizabeth R. Hinde, Metropolitan State University of Denver

Non-Existent Fractured

Stealthy Healthy

Non-Existent

• Each content area has its

own knowledge,

perspectives and methods of

inquiry

• Easily identified, scheduled,

quantified

• Most common approach in

teachers’ own schooling and

professional preparation

ELA September: Unit I Poetry

October: Unit II Short Stories

November: Unit III Narrative Writing

December: Unit IV Advanced Narrative writing

Social Studies

• September: Chpt.1 Geography

• October: Chpt. 2 Native Americans

• November: Chpt. 3 European Arrival

• December: Chpt. 4 American Revolution

Art

• September: Drawing

• October: Painting

• November: Printing

• December: Collage

• Chunks of info from more than one

content area, but no depth

• Content is disjointed with no

disciplinary modes of thinking inspired

• Little connection to curriculum,

standards, or student’s life

• Assessment focused at recall or

comprehension levels

• Learn Letter S: talk about shapes, watch a video on

Sacagawea and read about snakes (Art, SS, ELA)

• In November: Read about First Thanksgiving and talk about

fall colors (ELA, Social Studies and Art)

• Assessment:

Look at the pictures and circle the words which start with S

Students re-tell the plot of the First Thanksgiving

Stealthy

• Disguises content area as something

else

• Main objectives and assessments

revolve around single content area

• Critical thinking and in-depth

analysis of single content area

Stealthy

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, 1931, Grant Wood (American, 1892–1942),

Assessment:• Identify the rhyming pattern and circle the uses of imagery in this poem.

• Write a poem about a modern day hero which uses the same rhyming pattern

as Longfellow’s poem. Circle the places you use imagery in your poem.

Paul Revere’s RideHenry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807 - 1882

Listen, my children, and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,

On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-

Five:

Hardly a man is now alive

Who remembers that famous day and

year.

Healthy

• Connections between content

areas are explicit and clear

• Students and their

understandings are the focus of

learning and assessment

• Objectives and assessments

focus on multiple content areas

• Learning and assessment focus

on depth of understanding and

application of appropriate

skills from multiple content

areas

Key ELA Concepts Describe the interaction of characters, including relationships and how they

change

Compare and contrast the adventures or exploits of characters and their

roles

Healthy….

• Instruction and assessment tied to standards

from all three content areas

• Multiple integrated activities

--read MPP from a spatial perspective

--examine the illustrations for light and dark, and

positive and negative space as techniques for

visual communication

--use of maps to find own home and Antarctica

--compare and contrast home climate to Antarctic

--discuss how locations in the story reflect real world

locations and the impact of location on the Mr.

Popper’s decisions

Key Geography concepts: Use geography to interpret the past and predict future consequences as appropriate to topics or eras discussed. Location

Place

Region

Key Art

Concepts

Identify light

sources and

explain

depiction of

light and

shadow

Explain the

ideas of

positive and

negative space.

ELA—use specific and accurate words that are related

to the topic, audience, and purpose3.W.2.A.c

Arts/Dance—replicate body shapes, movement

characteristics, and movement patterns in a dance

sequence with awareness of body alignment and core

Social Studies—define taxes and explain sources of tax

Content Integration

• How can “disengaged” students benefit from integration

of content areas?

• How can “gifted” students benefit from integration of

content areas?

• How can the arts be brought into this classroom?
