As educators, we know the importance of providing students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in the real world. We also want them excited and engaged along the way. One sure way to achieve this is through cross-curricular integration. Cross-curricular integration is the practice of connecting a topic which is traditionally taught as a stand-alone subject - such as ELA, math, science, social studies, engineering, or computer science - to a different subject area.

Looking ahead at the new year, we’re excited to be launching new cybersecurity lessons, professional development cycles on climate change and new, free resources for families. To give you a preview, we spoke to one of our expert curriculum developers at EiE^®, Derek Butterton, who shared insights with us into the things educators have been asking for and the resources we are creating in response to those needs.
