For this project I worked with classmates from Ed 335 to integrate Science, Art, and Mathematics into one Interdisciplinary Unit.  We combined our knowledge to create a unit on the Properties of Matter.  We gave rationale for our choice in activity, included objectives, standards, and assessment.  This artifact is found under Standard 8 because it illustrates my abilities to work with other teachers/colleagues in a manner that will better the quality of education for students.  Performance indicator 8L says that, "a competent teacher initiates collaboration with others to create opportunities that enhance student learning."  I believe that the students' will be impacted more in several disciplines because of my collaboration with my colleagues. 

Integrated Unti For this project I worked with classmate Caitlin Malski to combine both of our areas of expertise.  Caitlin and I combined my Special Education knowledge with her English knowledge and our combined Spanish knowledge to create a creative unit. 

This unit was created for my Reading in the Content Areas class.  It serves as a review unit for a first year Spanish class.  It also allows students to practice research and writing skills as well as review Spanish vocabulary used throughout the year.  The final result is a project that all students will enjoy and hopefully become engaged in.
