Integrating Academics, CTE, the Arts, and Health/Physical Education

Creating an interdisciplinary curriculum that offers instruction in applying a wide range of skills and knowledge is central to the success of many high performing schools. This presentation focuses on integrating workplace skills (taught in CTE courses), the arts, health, and physical education into academic instruction and on integrating academics in all classes. Dr. Daggett describes why curriculum integration is so important, how to do it, and the positive results. He also introduces the Institute for 21st Century Leadership, created jointly by ACTE, Successful Practices Network, and International Center to assist leaders in addressing curriculum integration.
