Exploring CI
What Consititutes Negotiated Learning Environments?
This resource is an adaptation of a resource first produced by Collis
and Dalton in "Becoming Responsible Learners: Strategies for Positive
Classroom Management". Print this resource and then use it as a tool
for teachers to reflect upon their own teaching practice. Ask teachers
to identify how often they operate in each of the three different modes
of teaching and learning. Discuss what would be required to ensure
that students had control of their learning.

Where does our school fit on the curriculum integration continuum?
This resource is an adaptation of a resource first developed by Nolan
and Brown at Massey University in 1989. It provides a continuum of curriculum
integration from correlation between subjects through to student centred
inquiry. Print this resource and ask teachers to reflect upon where they
think the school currently fits in terms of its approach to curriculum
integration. Discuss what would be required to ensure that student centred
inquiry occurs more offten in the school.

Where Are We Now?
This resource was provided by Chris Harwood from Massey University. It
involves a set of four activities that can be undertaken as a staff to
reflect upon the current approach to curriculum integration used within
the school. The activities aim to answer the questions:
- What does integration mean to your school?
- What does it look like?
- How does it work?
- What is working well?
- What is not working?
- What would you like to do more of?
- The first resource is designed to get your teachers thinking about what
constitutes
reflection. view
- The second activity is designed to explore where the school is at currently
with curriculum integration and where teachers would like it to go with
curriculum integration.

and learning.
