INTEGRATING ACADEMIC UNITS trains teachers to develop effective integrated and interdisciplinary units in order to afford their students with a meaningful learning experience. The text further provides teachers with the tools to develop long term plans, to utilize teaching team approaches, to involve parents, and to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated and interdisciplinary unit. Using real classroom examples, the authors give clear steps that can be adapted to diverse settings in order to teach critical thinking skills to their students.
