William Blake: An Integrated Teaching Approach, Shawn C. Gaspaire
All Graduate Projects
The purpose of this project was to explore the usefulness of providing integrated curricula in today's contemporary classroom. The literature review illustrates that integrated approaches to teaching improve classroom engagement rates, retention, and skill level across grade levels when compared to non-integrated environments.
