It is becoming increasingly clear from educational research and work done in the cognitive sciences that learning becomes more meaningful when skills and concepts from various disciplines are connected. The traditional approach - having subjects taught in separate 40-50 minute time blocks - is giving way to a variety of structures designed to improve the quality of learning experiences for students.

The process of integrating curriculum, however, must not be forced. There are plenty of ways to make ånatural connections which will enhance the quality and efficiency of both teaching and learning.

Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, thematic and team teaching have been around a long time. This workshop will explore strategies schools can use to promote curriculum integration.
