Cross-Curricular Integration Activities
NAF Curriculum WBL ties: An Example
From Health Careers Exploration, Lesson 16
Collaboration between several or all Academy teachers
Instruction is centered around a concept, theme, topic, and/or skills
Standards and learning objectives from different subject areas are met simultaneously
Defining Integrated Curriculum
Principles of Finance
“How can we, as Academy of Finance students, educate our families and fellow students about issues critical to a person’s
financial literacy?”
Financial Services
“How can we, as company representatives, develop two profitable financial services products that respond to the needs
of our community?”

History
Curriculum maps help teachers find overlap.
The beginning of a great curriculum integration project lies in the overlaps and connections teachers find by comparing their curricula. Here is a simplified example of potential connections:
History Science PE Art
Ancient Japan Minerals and rocks Fitness goals Wood Block prints
Effects of trade on Japan
Carbon dating Nutrition Still Life
Japanese society today
Composition of fossils
Prevention of disease
Exploration of color
