Educational Challenges


Challenge


Solution

Struggle to find time to

address all of the required

standards adequately.

Provide opportunities for

students to meet standards

in different subjects at the

same time.

Challenge


Solution

“Silo” teaching results in

un“intentional”

duplication of instruction.

Expansion of time by

reducing duplication

allowing for more efficient

teaching.

Challenge


Solution

Students

need to and seek to be

motivated and engaged but

many are not.

Students engage through

real world application of

material with meaningful

connections.

Challenge


Solution

Students do not see a

connection between school

and life outside the

classroom.

Students develop relevant

conditions for learning by

applying their knowledge

and skills becoming life-

long learners.

Challenge


Solution

Satisfying the expanded

range of student needs in

today’s diverse classroom.

Allows for increased

differentiated instruction

and varied instructional

modalities.

Challenge


Solution

Consequence of

“silo” teaching can be

teacher isolation and

disconnection.

Increased opportunities for

teachers to become an

integral part of a

collaborative, professional

learning community.

Challenge


Solution

Belief that non-Core courses

are not required to meet

specific standards and

therefore not RIGOROUS.

Belief that Core courses only

teach to standards and

therefore not RELEVANT.

Provides an opportunity for

integrating standards-based

teaching, learning, and

assessing while meeting

standards and competencies

with RIGOR, RELEVANCE,

and RELATIONSHIPS.

NOTS

Not all the time.

Not meant to replace direct instruction.

Not always the most effective.


“ Come on, get real! ”

Developing and teaching an integrated and aligned unit can seem

overwhelming.
