We are required to teach one integrated study per trimester next year. I have never taught an integrated study before but am looking forward to the challenge. It is amazing what children can do when held to a challenge.

Looks like the students are really getting ahead by taking and teaching them what they are interested in. Good job

its really wonderfull video on integerated studies.The issues related to integrated studies are clearly apprehended by the key sentence "succees in integrated studies requires flexibilty of schedualing and collaboration among teachers".It is really a big problem for subject teachers to take out time from very busy scheduals to impement integerated studies. It is need of time that a curriculum to be devised which promote project based integerated studies for better learning outcomes of children in and outside their schools.
