ACADEMIC/CTE INTEGRATION
NCLB requires integration to provide rigorous curriculum to raise student achievement New Perkins legislation requires academic integration and rigor Enables students to know why they need to know this and how they can use it
WHY INTEGRATE?
INSTRUCTIONAL INTEGRATION
Proven strategy for helping students see connections between
Academic skills required to learn and
World of work where required to apply them
Motivation to learn is improved Better prepared for employment
DEFINING RIGOR AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Barbara Blackburn defined rigor as creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels, each student is supported so that he or she can learn at high levels, and each student demonstrates learning at high levels (Blackburn, 2008).
Rigor includes our basic philosophy of learning – we expect our students to demonstrate not only content mastery, but applied skills and critical thinking about the disciplines being taught.
Rigor + Motivation + Engagement = SUCCESS!

COMPONENTS OF RIGOR
Assists students in fulfilling predetermined outcomes and competencies by challenging them with high expectations. Essential components of rigor in the classroom: Content acquisition Critical thinking Relevance Integration Application of concepts Long term retention Responsibility
TEACHER ACTIVITIES TO INCREASE RIGOR CURRICULUM MAPPING
Curriculum maps document the topics and skills that have been planned, taught, and learned, helping teachers determine interventions and next steps. Curriculum maps help groups of teachers compare what has been covered in other grades, revealing repetition and gaps in the curriculum across disciplines, and highlighting strengths and weaknesses in aligning curriculum with district and state standards. Curriculum mapping fosters and supports collaboration among teachers, and promotes more effective instruction.
AUTHENTIC PROBLEM SOLVING
When instruction is academically rigorous, students actively explore, research and solve complex problems to develop a deep understanding of core academic concepts. Increasing rigor does not mean more and longer assignments, rather, it means time and opportunity for students to develop and apply habits of mind as they navigate sophisticated and reflective learning experiences. Students weigh evidence, consider varying viewpoints, see connections, identify patterns, evaluate outcomes, speculate on possibilities and assess value. Students demonstrate what they know
Curriculum maps cover a wide range of important curricular activities. Organizes information into an easily accessed visual that presents a timeline of instruction by teacher and course. Curricular maps can be simple or elaborate
CURRICULUM MAPS
Curriculum maps help to answer the questions regarding what is taught in the classroom. Curriculum maps provide the educational community with a look into the curriculum to understand what specific information will be taught A curriculum map provides insight into the big picture, and responsible use of the information contained by a curriculum map can strengthen instruction school wide.
WHY CREATE A CURRICULUM MAP?
