Assignment:
A well-rounded curriculum is created when collaboration occurs. The various perspectives on each discipline, and how they connect to one another, empower educators to connect relevance and interrelationships of disciplines when planning for instruction.
For this benchmark, revise the UbD presentation from Topic 4 based on your readings on interdisciplinary collaboration. This revision will continue to focus on how to build curriculum using curriculum development theories and practices within the UbD structure.
Add the following questions and answers into your revised presentation:
- How are the learning theories used in UbD identified?
- How are cross-curricular topics to be used in UbD identified?
- How important is it to plan collaboratively with colleagues and other professionals who have specialized expertise (e.g., general education teachers, special educators, related service providers, librarians, and media specialists) to design effective cross-curricular learning experiences? What would this collaboration look like?
- How can differentiated instruction be incorporated in UbD?
- How would you wrap up or summarize UbD for your staff?
Your presentation would act as a professional development to staff and administration. Obtain feedback on your presentation from a peer/or colleague.
Write a 250 to 500 word reflection on your perception of the effectiveness of the presentation as well as any feedback you received from your peer/colleague.
Include 3 to 5 scholarly articles to support your rationale for selecting theories to guide the development of a cross-curricular curriculum.
