Artifact Description
This work sample was completed as a requirement for EDSE 5003. Another student and I vertically aligned the 8th grade science curriculum with 8th grade art standards. We examined our alignment and discussed our finding and further questions that arose from the alignment.
Background of Artifact
Being able to vertically align curriculum from grade-level to grade-level or subject-to-subject allows the teacher to fully understand their students learning. With this particular artifact, we aligned curriculum form the same grade level to see if we could rearrange the order we taught to benefit student learning. We determined there was a better way to arrange the curriculum to benefit student learning. However, the district has a particular way they want each subject taught, and the opportunity to make connections and maximize student learning would be lost with the current approach to the curriculum.
