JoinEditor’s Roundtable: Weaving a web of learning
Teachers of all content areas, the arts included, must collaboratively plan meaningful instructional units around themes, issues, or problems that can be investigated and assessed using a cohesive, interdisciplinary approach. Instruction should actively engage students in their learning, and present lessons that are woven around a central core but span the entire curriculum, so that students no longer see concepts as belonging in isolated, discipline-specific boxes.
