Weekly focus questions:
During weeks 2- 8 of the semester, students will meet with their assigned team members during planning or other appropriate times. The purpose of these meetings is two-fold: First, students will come with a focus question to think and write about related to how their team plans and functions as an interdisciplinary team. They will also use this time to communicate expectations and plans for their involvement in teaching the interdisciplinary unit during the five-week intense lab period.

Planning and teaching an interdisciplinary unit:
Students will work with their team during the five-week lab component to collaboratively plan and teach an interdisciplinary or integrated unit. They will be actively involved in teaching throughout these weeks.

Students will turn in a written overview of the unit, at least three lesson plans they have written and taught and an evaluation of how their lessons and the overall unit meet students’ needs, resulted in student learning and reflected effective teaming practices.
