Describes Seattle Central Community College's Coordinated Studies Program (CSP)--a thematic, team-taught, and interdisciplinary set of humanities and social science courses taught as a single course. Compares CSP students' outcomes with the academic performance and persistence of other students, revealing the benefits of CSP's peer and teacher…

Describes three integrated development cycles for a series of software packages for teaching mathematics: (1) development of a software package, including rationale and didactics; (2) cognitive studies leading to a more effective interaction between student, software, and teacher; and (3) organization of pedagogical knowledge for software…

The development of computer application practices integrated into a science teachers' professional development program was examined. Results from a workshop for 14 teachers demonstrated that, although computer applications were not explicitly taught, the integration of their use into the goal-oriented environment resulted in an optimal solution…

The counseling process is presented both conceptually and visually as a collection of activities occurring simultaneously in varying degrees. Argues that this concurrent model better represents actual counselor-client interactions than traditional discrete, sequential-stage representations because it is more inclusive and integrated, yet flexible.…

Describes how a children's book on counting was used in integrated mathematics-literature lessons in first-grade classrooms and how students created their own texts. (11 references) (MKR)

Presents an activity to integrate mathematics, science, and technology by using a computer spreadsheet to examine relationships between data collected about popcorn. (11 references) (Author/MKR)

Future organizations must integrate their human-resource development requirements with organizational development requirements to survive and prosper. A totally integrated systems model will feature 10 crucial elements. Leaders must understand that their organizations pass through developmental stages (from infancy to maturity); at each stage,…

Discusses the use of children's literature to combine social studies and mathematics to study patchwork quilts. (MKR)

Integrating children's weather-related family folklore with scientific investigation can be an effective way to involve elementary and middle level students in lessons spanning the disciplines of science, geography, history, anthropology, and language arts. Describes weather folklore studies and examples of weather investigations performed with…

Explores the learning opportunities that might be created in mathematics instruction if reading were reconceptualized as described in the NCTM statement on communication. Develops the notion of "reading to learn mathematics" by enunciating and illustrating its key components. (44 references) (MDH)

Describes an instructional unit on ancient Egypt that incorporates math, science, art, music, language arts, social studies, reading, and children's literature. (RS)

Explores the nature of language from a linguistic viewpoint and describes how mathematics can be seen to be a foreign language by students. Describes how natural language reading strategies provide language-specific problems to mathematics teachers. (MDH)

Presents a method blending ideas from logic, algebra, and operators to devise discrete functions that yield the same truth values as the truth tables associated with specific logic statements. Introduces mechanisms that encourage students to discover examples of discrete functions, approximately represent logic statements, and provides examples of…

Proposes lessons for algebra students using the context of tax calculations to learn about the concepts of slope, split functions, averages, rates, marginal rates, and percents. Students explore ramifications of possible tax revisions. (MDH)
