文档介绍：Cross-Curricular
Teaching and Learning
in the Secondary School
What is the role of the individual school ‘subject’ and ‘subject teacher’ within school? Is it to
teach a set of core subject knowledge, skills and understanding in a way that remains faithful
to long-standing subject cultures and pedagogies? Or is there another way to consider how
the curriculum, and the notion of individual subjects and teachers’ pedagogy, could be
constructed?
Working from the key principle that there is no curriculum development without
teacher development, Cross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School argues
for a new, skilful pedagogy that embeds an authentic, cross-curricular approach to teaching
and learning in the work of the individual teacher. This approach respects and builds on
individual subject cultures, embracing and exploring links between subject knowledge and
subject pedagogies in an enriching way.
Drawing on examples and case studies taken from innovative practices in different schools
and subject areas, as well as summarising lessons from key pieces of research evidence, this
book includes:
 Â clear theoretical frameworks for cross-curricular processes of teaching and learning
 Â a lively account of key issues blended with engaging stories of current practice
 Â an analysis of the use of language, ICT and assessment as ponents of a skilful
pedagogical practice that affects how teaching is delivered and how pupils learn in cross-
curricular contexts
 Â practical tasks and questions for reflective practice.
This timely textbook is essential reading for all students on Initial Teacher Training
courses and PGCE courses as well as practising teachers looking to holistically introduce
cross-curricular themes and practices in their own subjects.
