Subject centered vs Integrated Curriculum
• Subject centered Curriculum
• Disciplines are taught separately from each other.
• Subject based • Traditional
• Integrated Curriculum• Disciplines are
combined to educate about a common topic or theme.
• Student based• Constructivist• Developed in 60’s.

Topic vs a Theme• Topic• One concept studied.• Less dynamic • Example: Alaska
• Theme• Question or problem
that can structure a study.
• More dynamic• Example: the
significance of petroleum in Alaska.

5 Stages of Curriculum Integration
• 1. Subject specific topic--No student planning, solo teaching
• 2. Subject Specific with Theme--Possible student involvement, thematic subject approach, teams
3. Multidisciplinary– Two or more disciplines sharing a theme. Possible student involement
4. Interdisciplinary Thematic– students and teachers collaborate on theme and content of curriculum.
5. Integrated Thematic– students and teachers collaborate across grades.

Example
• Goal: students will be able to use road maps. • Objective: students will be taught to use a map of
Wisconsin to understand driving directions and travel time from various locations using a combination of physical maps and technology like MapQuest.
• Assessment: Students will be given a map of Wisconsin with instructions to figure out driving directions and travel time from various locations.
