Integration sets SBS apart


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.kind of like...

Project-Based Learning + Cross Curricular + Technology = CCI



WHAT IT TAKESRequires 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-to-moment 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.

"Where Roman Infrastructure is From"

By:Grayson Kim

Roman Infrastructure is from the Colosseum, from aqueducts, from The

Grand Pantheon.

Roman Infrastructure is from soil from a Roman Road, from gravel from a

Roman Road, from clay mixed in with sand and gravel.

Roman Infrastructure is from a hammer building an aqueduct, from people

cheering in the Colosseum, from the sound of a Gladiator's sword.

Roman Infrastructure is from water from an aqueduct, from soil from a

new Roman Road, from stone pieces.

Roman Infrastructure is from fresh water from an aqueduct, from blood

from a gladiator, from soil from a new road.

Roman Infrastructure has made me see how we use Roman Infrastructure

for building.

The entertainment in the

Colosseum was mostly

people killing animals, or

people killing each other.

Roman

Infrastructure

A dome is

an arch

that is

turned

around.

Aqueducts are channels

that carry water from

distant springs.

The Romans

were extremely

good at building

things, roads,

buildings,

bridges, and

walls

This is the Tiberus

bridge that is made

of stone and has 5

arches.It is gray

and white.

Roman

Christianity

The Romans

worshiped

many gods.

Christians were killed and

persecuted for their beliefs in God.

Christians were killed in the

Colosseum by lions.

This is a church in Rome

called the Villa d'este.

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 love, and from the pain that Jesus. Christianity has made me a believer of Christ.

If you were a

Christian, it was likely

that you wold die for

your beliefs in Jesus.

Christians came from every

walk of life in ancient Rome,

but Christianity became a

great approval to Rome's

poor.

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.

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.

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.
