C102: Going from a Content Standard to a Local Issue

In the last episode, we ended with the idea of connecting our local issue to our curriculum and standards. So, I’d like to dedicate this episode to examining possible ways to explore this. I am providing some tips, but you and your team must decide what best fits for your school and learners. I love challenging myself in creating curriculum connections that are not so blatant or that we haven’t seen. Isn’t this the purpose of inquiry? See, you are making deeper connections already!
Oftentimes, we create curriculum that is segmented by subject areas, even if we are not intentional about it. It just happens. Here’s something to consider when looking at your curriculum. We will examine one content standard, so you can truly examine how it’s being explored deeper and where you can connect to other content that you must teach.
