The
Six Degrees of Preparation: Interdisciplinary
Design and the Built Environment
Dr.
Leonisa Ardizzone
Executive Director, Salvadori
Center |
Using
the Salvadori Center's Interdisciplinary
Planning Template, Dr. Ardizzone will
demonstrate how the built environment
can be used to create lesson plans
in many subjects.
"Six Degrees of Preparation" uses
the Salvadori Interdisciplinary Planning
Template to help teachers integrate project-based
activities anchored in the built environment
into their teaching of math, science,
social studies, art, language arts, and
technology in ways that enable students
to make cognitive "cross-overs" between
subject areas.
