| thematic interdisciplinary teaching: Interdisciplinary Strategies for English and Social Studies Classrooms Joseph John Nowicki, Kerry F. Meehan, 1997 With today's growing emphasis on creating educational situations which are collaborative and inclusive-particularly in junior and senior high schools-there is a strong push to involve students in their learning, to let them create their own understandings, to encourage critical thinking and to increase student responsibility for their schooling. And while there is much said in the literature about this point as theory, this is one of the first hands-on books to link theory with practice. This terrific new resource is written in a very inviting style and format for teachers adjusting to the effects of inclusion and heterogeneity in classrooms and for teachers and administrators looking to break the barriers erected by subject area isolation in junior and senior high schools. In it you get nearly 50 interdisciplinary strategies to link social studies and English classes around common themes to provide the highest quality educational experiences for all students. The authors identify the common strengths gained by sharing areas of study while maintaining the unique character and integrity of English and social studies classes.To aid in lesson planning, the authors identify subject and shared facts, skills and concepts between English and social studies lessons and how these relate to theme.They also identify obstacles to interdisciplinary activity because of perceived differences between English and social studies teachers and offer suggestions for overcoming those obstacles. |

| thematic interdisciplinary teaching: The Interdisciplinary Teacher's Handbook Stephen Tchudi, Stephen Lafer, 1996 No matter what you teach or how long you've been teaching, The Interdisciplinary Teacher's Handbookwill help you inspire the curiosity and motivation at the heart of students' best learning experiences. True advocates of localized, exploration-based methodology, Tchudi and Lafer present a thoughtful approach to interdisciplinary teaching with lots of advice on developing your own program and curriculum. Rather than reduce interdisciplinary education to either theory or practice, Tchudi and Lafer offer a full explanation of how the two areas can work together. They provide a rationale for interdisciplinary teaching so that you can understand the why before accepting the how. Since the teacher's attitude is as important as the student's, Tchudi and Lafer include brief exercises that ask you to reflect on your most powerful learning experiences so that you can discover ways in which interdisciplinary methods match your natural thought processes. These Intermusings enable you to introduce new methods with an experiential understanding of how underlying theories work. Tchudi and Lafer never lose sight of the day-to-day difficulties teachers and administrators face. They offer practical information on several levels. The second part of the book is filled with Interdisciplinary Jumpstarters, ideas for organizing interdisciplinary projects on a number of topics, complete with lists of additional materials. Throughout the book, Tchudi and Lafer suggest resources for interdisciplinary teaching that are commonly overlooked, such as local businesses, government agencies, and people and places with histories and stories to tell. Administrators and teachers at all levels and from all disciplines will find inspiration and practical support in The Interdisciplinary Teacher's Handbook. |
| thematic interdisciplinary teaching: Teaching World Literature David Damrosch, 2009 This is an exciting, and unsettling, time to be teaching world literature, writes David Damrosch. Because the range of works taught in world literature courses has expanded enormously, both historically and geographically, the task of selection—and of teacher preparation—has grown more challenging. Teachers of this field must grapple with such issues as coverage, cultural difference, and the role of translation in the classroom. Should one emphasize masterpieces or traditions, concepts or themes? How does one avoid making a work bear the burden of representing an entire tradition? To what extent should anthologies be used? Can a course be global in scope and yet focus on a few works, authors, moments? This collection of thirty-two essays in the MLA series Options for Teaching offers an array of solutions to these challenges, reflecting the wide variety of institutions, courses, and students described by the contributors. An annotated bibliography is provided, with a listing of useful Web sites. |

| thematic interdisciplinary teaching: Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills Patrick Griffin, Esther Care, 2014-10-21 This second volume of papers from the ATC21STM project deals with the development of an assessment and teaching system of 21st century skills. Readers are guided through a detailed description of the methods used in this process. The first volume was published by Springer in 2012 (Griffin, P., McGaw, B. & Care, E., Eds., Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills, Dordrecht: Springer). The major elements of this new volume are the identification and description of two 21st century skills that are amenable to teaching and learning: collaborative problem solving, and learning in digital networks. Features of the skills that need to be mirrored in their assessment are identified so that they can be reflected in assessment tasks. The tasks are formulated so that reporting of student performance can guide implementation in the classroom for use in teaching and learning. How simple tasks can act as platforms for development of 21st century skills is demonstrated, with the concurrent technical infrastructure required for its support. How countries with different languages and cultures participated and contributed to the development process is described. The psychometric qualities of the online tasks developed are reported, in the context of the robustness of the automated scoring processes. Finally, technical and educational issues to be resolved in global projects of this nature are outlined. |
