Connecting the Curriculum

Planning a Connected Curriculum is the newest in a series of guides published by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Many best practices are included as well as ideas for connecting curriculum.

Chapter 15: Practical suggesting on using this guide starts with the following paragraph that provides an overview of the book: "Throughout this guide we have suggested numerous reasons why connections and meaning are necessary ingredients in improving learning and achievement. We have also provided capsule and extended strategies that can be adapted and used in your instructional delivery to make your classroom more brain compatible, connected, and invigorating. Our suggestions on how to align what you teach with how you assess learning are based on best practices in Wisconsin schools. Commentary on the importance of technology and the visual and performing arts reinforces the necessity to employ divergent tools and perspectives in developing the range of choices we make in keeping students to construct knowledge."

This guide is available through Publication Sales.
