Curricular Connections
Elements of Integration in the Classroom
Introduction
Curricular Connections provides Manitoba educators with the background they need to support curricular integration in Kindergarten through Senior 4. This document articulates the guiding principles of integration to support both teachers currently using integration approaches and those who are new to the concept and need direction. It is also designed to encourage teachers to provide a learning environment that both challenges students and reflects the continuing evolution of our community and our world. This document provides a theoretical basis for integration in curriculum planning; it is not intended as a guide to implementation. It contains
- a rationale for curricular integration
- definitions of integration
- types of curricular connections
- characteristics (Table 1)
- implementation issues (Table 2)
- summary
