Integration sets SBS apart


CREATIVE CONTENT
INTEGRATION
Creative Content Integration is the process of
taking a subject-area theme or skill and
incorporating it into all classes the child
experiences throughout the day.

Project-Based Learning + Cross Curricular +
Technology = CCI

WHAT IT TAKES
Requires a team of ﬂexible, willing teachers-as-leaders.
“Teachers have a level of immersion with the students that frequently sets teachers-as-leaders apart
from leaders in other settings.
To accomplish this level of immersion, strong teachers-as-leaders tend to be supportively
confrontational, continuously engaged, not self-conscious, and morally courageous on a moment-tomoment basis.
Good teachers ...devote themselves to converting nonsuccesses in to successes.
We want teachers to cross-pollinate, teacher to teacher, to build a collective sense of career-long
professional growth and development without which few individual teachers can sustain themselves
as leaders of students. “

APPLICATION
•

Integration can be done in two ways:
•

•

•

Portion of content is taught in each class with each class giving its own
separate assessment
Portion of content is taught in each class which enables the child to
complete a single assessment which will be graded by multiple teachers/
courses.

Technology allows this to happen seamlessly.

Religion played a very important role in Ancient Rome

Roman Religion

At first the Romans
believed in many gods.
These gods were like

Romans built
special temples
for their gods

Aqueducts are channels
that carry water from
distant springs.

Where Christianity is from
By: Elise Long
Christianity is from Christians telling others about Jesus, from gospels dying for Christ,
and from soldiers killing them.
Christianity is from the blood of Jesus, from the metal of the soldiers swords, and from
the lions scent.
Christianity is from the lions roar, from the people cheering, and the birds chirping.
Christianity is from bloody clothes, from people's bones, and from family's moans.
Christianity is from the taste that Christians have in Christ, from the sweet air of Gods

This is a church in Rome
called the Villa d'este.

Christianity has made me a believer of Christ.

Roman
Christianity

Christians were
killed and
persecuted for their
beliefs in God.

Christians were killed in the
Colosseum by lions.

The Romans
worshiped
many gods.


Christians came from every
walk of life in ancient Rome,
but Christianity became a
great approval to Rome's
poor.

Aqueduct

If you were a
Christian, it was likely
that you wold die for
your beliefs in Jesus.

A Day in the Life of a Troubadour
By: Anni Shewmake.
A day in the life of a troubadour is
interesting. A troubadour sings and plays
drums, bagpipes, and harps on the streets.
Their job is very low paying which makes it
hard to be a troubadour.
A troubadour doesn't have a home since
they spend their life on the streets. Most
of them became troubadours by singing on the
streets when they were little. They do go to
church only because it doesn't cost
anything.

This is a picture of a
troubadour playing an
instrument.

If you were a troubadour you would have
made manners! And maybe the people in the
2,000s will still use them! I think it would
be cool to be a troubadour you should fond
out more someday.

EXECUTION
• What

is the goal of the project...why integrate to this extent?

• Where
• How

is the foundation of this content taught?

often should this in-depth integration take place?


EXECUTION
• Who

will be the “teacher-as-leader” heading up the
integration?
•

School Curriculum Specialist?

•

Tech Specialist?

•

Course Teacher?

• What
• How

will the ﬁnal assessment look like?

will you determine the grading criteria?


PLANNING

• Course

Integration Template

• Meeting Agendas
• Rubrics

- Middle Ages PDF

• Standards


ASSESSMENT IDEAS
• Look

at the topic from another
teacher’s room

• Talk

to the activity teachers they want to be involved!

• Don’t

be afraid to do things
differently


ASSESSMENT IDEAS
• Don’t

just look at the end result, each piece of the process is
important.

• Have

students assess themselves and group members if
applicable.

• Dioramas, solar

system models, and book reports can ﬁt in
this model-just think bigger.
