A framework can help ensure that this alignment occurs not only vertically across grades but horizontally within one grade as well.<\/p>\n<p>Approaching the standards through an integrated approach can only be successful if organized in a framework. A curriculum framework is basically a map for teachers to plan their students&#8217; learning journey.<\/p>\n<p>In some settings, this framework is mandatory and forced on the teachers, but in other school districts, individual schools are free to choose and\/or design their own framework.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of where the framework stems from, it is important to remember that the framework itself is a means and not an end result.<\/p>\n<p>In order for a framework to function for a standard-based integrated curriculum, it needs to include the following successful features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Concepts that promote meaningful learning and connections across the curriculum<\/li>\n<li>Well articulated objectives<\/li>\n<li>Established scope and sequences<\/li>\n<li>Explicit teaching of cross-curricular skills<\/li>\n<li>Revisiting previously taught concepts with greater complexity<\/li>\n<li>Common professional language when speaking about curriculum planning and teaching (Assessments\/Evaluation)<\/li>\n<li>Teachers with a sense of ownership<\/li>\n<li>Provision made for flexible planning time (collaborative)<\/li>\n<li>Adequate and available resources<\/li>\n<li>Roles for community members (parent support, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Gradual changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These can all be addressed by starting small. It is a giant step towards relevancy for students when even an individual teacher achieves any level of integration within their own classroom. A school-wide integration takes time, patience, some additional work and collaboration, as well as good disposition towards change on the part of the administration and teachers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn More\u2026 Take this course:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/k12teacherstaffdevelopment.com\/tlb\/integrating-standards-in-teaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Integrating Standards in Teaching<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Discuss Here:<\/strong> Share your experiences integrating standards by creating a framework within your school or classroom?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  When integrating standards school-wide, we must pay careful attention across disciplines and grade levels in order to align what is taught to the curriculum.
