Cross Curricular Teaching

Teachers in every discipline are being asked to teach across the curriculum.  What does that mean?  It means that even if you teach Art, Music, Gym, Social Studies, or Science, you are being asked to teach Reading and Language Arts and Math.  Wow!  That seems like a lot to ask.  Well, maybe not.  Perhaps you already teach many concepts in those subject areas and don't even realize it.

Take a look at Reading and Language Arts and Math standards, and see if you already teach some of those items.  Most likely...you do.  Next, just write those standards down in your lesson plans.  That's it.  Now, there may be times that you can make a point to teach RLA and Math standards within your subject area, and that's great, too!

Here's a product I made to help with teaching across the curriculum, while teaching music:
