| The Evergreen State College |
The Evergreen State College created a fully integrated program of study, the curriculum standard for the college. Two separate teams, each consisting of three faculty members, participated in the project. The 2000-02 team created a learning community with the theme, "Multiple Literacies: Working with the Kids in Front of You." The 2001-03 cohort theme was: "Teaching for Social Justice." Faculty
co-planned and co-taught each curriculum. Elementary and secondary teacher
education students moved through the curriculum together as a cohort. |

| University of Nevada, Las Vegas | UNLV
linked two undergraduate courses: Secondary Math Methods and Secondary Science
Methods. Two faculty co-planned many of the classes and co-taught one-third.
Although there were different students in the two courses, classes were
scheduled to meet at the same time in adjacent classrooms, and met together
as a combined group for about a third of their class sessions.
Faculty used numerous strategies to connect content, including a wetland field trip attended by students from both classes; common, integrated assignments; and a virtual field trip that required math and science integration. |

Both learning communities were offered within an academic term. Two faculty members co-planned and co-taught the classes. | Angela
