Integrating all 3 Integrations Into the classroom
What's a teacher to do?
These topics all have shown a significant shift in student thinking. Each have been proven to show a deeper thinking from each student, but why is that? How do you make a lesson that involves all of the integrations? Is there such a thing as too deep of a thought process? There are a lot of questions still needing to be answered by simply trying them all more, but there are some answers. Teachers will find their own niche when they begin trying all of them out, and not every task will work out the same for every teacher. It is a trial and error. Every class is different, so taking that into consideration is a huge step in understanding what will be good for everyone, and what would possibly fail everyone. The key to remember is, "educators who actually implement integrated approaches are the same educators who are interested in the most effective ways to teach." If you want to be an effective teacher, you have to branch out from the everyday lecturing and have the students work hands on too. Combine subjects when teaching (example math and science = chemistry) and don't be afraid to go away from the normal setting. Teachers who try different things are more likely to find what works best for them, and in return, it will work well for the students.
