    You have been offered the opportunity to apply for a leadership position in your organization. As a part of the application process, your potential employer uses the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency model of leadership development (NCHL, 2016), which includes a 360-degree evaluation. The evaluation is an assessment that includes anonymous, confidential feedback from those around you, such as your peers, supervisor, direct reports, and stakeholders, as well as a self-assessment on behavior (relational), technical and operational skills, and strategic ability. As a part of this 360-degree evaluation, you will complete the self-assessment component. This information will be shared with the interview committee for the position, so it is important that you demonstrate your knowledge and experience in each of the areas outlined in the self-assessment requirements below.Note: Remember, you can submit all or a portion of your draft to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of your work for this assessment. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback if you plan on using this free service.Reference

What is Integrated Curriculum? Integration is a philosophy of teaching in which content is drawn from several subject areas to focus on a particular theme or concept. Rather than studying math or social studies in isolation, for example, a class might study a unit called The Sea, using math to calculate pressure at certain depths and social studies to understand why coastal and inland populations have different livelihoods. Effective interdisciplinary studies include the following elements:

• A topic that lends itself to study from several points of view.

• 2–5 or essential questions the teacher wants the students to explore.

• An approach and activities to further students’ understanding more than is possible in a traditional, single-discipline lesson.

Adapted from: McBrien, J. L., & Brandt, R. S. (1997). The language of learning: A guide to education terms. p. 55. Alexandria, VA: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.

To understand when to integrate, the following questions can be asked:

• Can I teach the goals and objectives of each particular content area being considered with this topic? (Define the SCS objectives and the criteria for achievement).

• Will my efforts to integrate most likely increase student learning and understanding? (Is it relevant)?

• How will what I do affect students’ learning? (Identify the outcomes).

Integrated lessons should integrate concepts across content areas, utilize concept maps focusing on all subject areas in planning integrated instruction, identify natural integrated skills within areas (such as science process skills with math skills and communication skills), and use identified children’s literature that will connect language arts and other content area objectives.

You are to develop one extensive and complete lesson planthat would be part of a unit teaching science to children at the appropriate grade level. The lesson plan will be based on the 5 E’s Learning Cycle, must involve the entire class, and must be developed using the template provided. You must integrate a minimum of two subject areas. Use science content as the base and then include other subjects, such as reading, language arts, math and/or writing.
