Overview

During this course adults learn how to create cross curricular lessons to engage students in the classroom. It is split into two sessions, the first they learn to use a tool that helps design cross curricular lessons and in the second part they create a lesson using the tool.

Challenge

• Each building was tasked with having an innovation initiative. Our administration chose the goal of implementing cross curricular lessons with our student body.

Solution

• After speaking with our leadership team, we determined these lessons needed to have consistent elements across different contents/instructors. To accomplish this goal our adult learners needed training on what a cross curricular lesson looks like and how to create one.

• The instructional coach and I decided to create a protocol tool that adult learners could use to create and vet cross curricular lessons.

• This course requires two learning sessions. During the first session learners review the tool and use it to vet a cross curricular lesson to make edits. The second session they work in small groups to use the tool to create their own cross curricular lesson.

Results

• Students receive high quality cross curricular lessons.

• Student can learn how content relates to their life in a real world context. This improves engagement in the classroom.

• Teachers create engaging cross curricular lessons.
