This course emphasizes both teaching as a specialist in a subject area and understanding
a more global approach to academic curricula. The course includes the structures
and curriculum approaches students have already experienced and how to foster
a smooth transition for students into a full teaming structure. Course work focuses
on the philosophy and practice of interdisciplinary and thematic integrated curriculum
and the skills that need to be taught and infused into all subjects taught on
these levels within the K-12 scope and sequence to provide continuity and articulation.
The interdisciplinary nature of the New York State standards and assessments is
stressed.
