Planning Integrated Curriculum: The Call to Adventure

by Susan M. Drake

The idea of implementing interdisciplinary curriculum is, to many educators, tantamount to a too few resources, too little time, too many disparate issues to deal with. In Planning Integrated The Call to Adventure, Susan Drake sets out to redefine the implementation of an integrated course of it is not, she contends, an impossible battle, but rather an epic journey, with the curriculum planner as a modern-day Ulysses. Apart from offering guidance and encouragement to curriculum integrators, this book functions as a framework of sorts for interdisciplinary curriculum development. By documenting the experiences of several North American school districts, Drake provides her readers with clear-cut analyses of specific data and with suggestions for using the data as a blueprint for action.
