Cross curricular approaches can be extremely effective ways to inspire student interest in a subject, demonstrate real world connections between subjects being studied, and build on a student’s own interests and strengths to demonstrate their understanding and/or point of view on a subject.

Since Educate.Today videos are “first person, real world, and expert-driven,” they frequently demonstrate cross curricular real world approaches that experts and others are using. They give students the opportunity to see cross curricular approaches in action and can form the basis for activities you create giving students the opportunity to make cross curricular connections as they learn.

The resources below are designed to give you some ideas on how to use cross curricular approaches in your classroom, provide you sample lesson plans and templates to build from, and link you to additional resources on the topic.  Additional cross curricular activity ideas can be found with hundreds of videos throughout the Educate.Today website.
