Integrated Curriculum Assumptions:

There is a connectedness of things.

Students achieve more with a learner centered environment.

Schools are mission driven.

Learning is contextual.

Powerful learning focuses on relevant questions and contextual relationships between facts, concepts, and generalizations associated with those questions.

Learning is framed by facts, concepts, and universal principles that are bridges to generalizations.

Assumptions, principles, visions, missions, and procedures are shared by a community of learners.

Shared purposes energize a learning community.
