What professional development materials currently exist for helping math and science teachers integrate other subjects into their subject?
Elementary Science Integration Projects (ESIP) http://www.esiponline.org/ The ESIP promote connections between language arts instruction and inquiry-based science in grades K–8. Project activities include: • research on science-related reading and writing • for-credit-classes • workshops • conferences • professional books and articles Project staff also maintain a library of science trade books that serve as the basis for an online readers’ advisory called Search It! Science. ESIP programs evidence an appreciation of content knowledge, a regard for student-centered practices, and a respect for teachers’ need to negotiate the complexities of classroom life.
