Streamlining and Connecting the Primary Curriculum
In order to create a streamlined and interconnected curriculum, it is crucial to strip out extraneous content and focus on what needs to be taught. This allows for more time and space for deep learning and revisiting of concepts. By deliberately making connections between different subjects and vantage points, students can develop a deeper understanding of the content. This interconnected approach should be flexible, choosing topics that naturally align and provide opportunities for rich connections. It is important to be intentional and purposeful in making these connections, ensuring they enhance and augment academic content across subjects.
