Cross-Curricular Instruction
Cross-curricular instruction integrates content and skills from multiple content areas into one cohesive learning experience. When using this model, students are able to experience their school subjects as connected and interrelated, rather than isolated and fragmented. This approach allows students to build on their current knowledge base and connect what they know with what they are learning; and it promotes higher level thinking and collaborative skills needed for lifelong success. Currently, VDOE offers one second grade cross-curricular unit.
