Curriculum & Instruction - Conceptual Integration Concentration Requirements

C&I: Teaching for Conceptual Integration Concentration

This unique concentration focuses on how student learning can be enhanced when a teacher uses instructional methods to help students integrate concepts and processes from several subject areas of the curriculum. Intended for teachers who teach multiple subjects to the same group of students in grades K-6, the program helps teachers: examine curricular activities and units that exemplify the power of integrating concepts and processes across subject areas; explore the creation of such activities and units; become knowledgeable about principles of designing and modifying curricular materials to promote conceptual integration for all students; develop understanding of and competence in instructional methods that foster conceptual integration; and develop conceptual understanding of Reading/Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science by deliberately integrating them two at a time.
