Writing daily lesson plans can be quite consuming for a new teacher, but developing curriculum can be even more cumbersome.
Meaningful Integration Across Curriculum: A Collaborative Approach will enlighten pre-service teachers and seasoned teachers alike to not only prepare for their specific content, but create lessons that integrate other content areas as well. By developing curriculum for an entire school year, teachers will be able to emphasize the various contents, technology, and diversity that are necessary in 21st-century learners.
