If teachers can work together, connect what they’re teaching to other subjects their students take, this can greatly benefit a student’s learning. If students can connect what they are learning in science to something in history for example they’ll not only be able to learn and develop those concepts a lot easier (partially due to being exposed to more review) but also they’ll be more interested and invested in their learning. On my practicum I used different projects to help students make these connections. To investigate this topic further, I will look to communicate with the teachers from different departments in my school; I hope that we can collaborate to develop relevant lessons, assignments, and/or projects for our students.
