Cross-Curricular Strategies for K-12 Educators

Cross-curricular instruction is an instructional strategy that offers a way for teachers to plan lessons that incorporate more than one disciplinary area. This allows students to broaden their lens of understanding and apply skills and strategies they learn in lessons to deepen their overall understanding and make authentic, real-world connections. As an educator interested in doing this, how can you foster and support these environments? And, if this environment has not yet been cultivated, you can you begin to brainstorm on cross-curricular opportunities? In this session we'll dive deep into how to get started with cross-curricular opportunities as an educator, learn more about the benefits of cross-curricular instruction, and discuss how to showcase cross-curricular student work.
