Teaching with Valor Podcast: A Veteran Teachers Perspective

Send us a text

Welcome back to another episode of the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re diving into a topic that has the potential to transform your teaching practice and ignite student learning in new and exciting ways: cross-curricular teaching approaches.
Imagine a classroom where math and science come alive through storytelling, where history lessons are enriched with literature, and where art enhances understanding in subjects like geography or physics. This is what cross-curricular teaching is all about—integrating different subject areas to create a more cohesive and meaningful learning experience for our students.
