Journey North: Rockledge Elementary School Edutopia The George Lucas Educational Foundation Integrated Studies
The challenges of today's workplace and modern social life require a new kind of educated citizenry -- people who not only have mastered the academic basics but can also apply their knowledge across disciplines. In an integrated curriculum, subjects are not dissected and separated into discrete chunks. Instead, teachers and students work together in making curricular connections around a theme or topic. Traditional schedules and use of classroom spaces are altered to allow team planning and shared collaborative class time.
Edutopia is a vision of a new world of learning -- a place where innovation is the rule, not the exception. Through the Edutopia videos ideal, interactive learning environments are explored enabling others to adapt these successes in their own schools and communities. Edutopia contains a deep archive of continually updated best practices, from classroom tips to recommendations for district wide change.
