Why and how am I applying interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, strategies and processes?
Six Language Arts
Students develop knowledge of and skill in their use of the language arts as they listen, speak, read, write, view, and represent in a wide variety of contexts and for a range of purposes -- expressive, aesthetic, and pragmatic. Students study the language arts in order to function in their communities and cultures: to appreciate, enjoy, communicate, interact, solve problems, think critically, and make informed choices that will enhance the quality of their lives. Many language elements (e.g., patterns, mood, symbolism, symmetry, transitions, focus, tone, and emphasis) are similar in oral, print, and visual texts.
Although the six language arts are sometimes considered and discussed as separate and distinct, they are, in reality, interrelated and interdependent.
ISTE Technology Standards for Students
Today’s students must be prepared to thrive in a constantly evolving technological landscape. The ISTE Standards for Students are designed to empower student voice and ensure that learning is a student-driven process.
Digital citizenship shouldn’t be a long list of don’ts. It should be about the do’s that help create thoughtful, empathetic digital citizens who can wrestle with the important ethical questions at the intersection of technology and humanity. Those do’s include:
Using technology to make your community better.
Engaging respectfully online with people who have different beliefs than you.
Using technology to make your voice heard by public leaders and shape public policy.
Determining the validity of online sources of information.
Digital citizenship goes beyond conversations about personal responsibility. It’s about being active citizens who see possibilities instead of problems, and opportunities instead of risks as they curate a positive and effective digital footprint.

Interdisciplinary Knowledge, Skills, Strategies, and Processes
Interdisciplinary learning is one of many ways to learn over the course of a curriculum. When educators consider their curricular objectives and students' needs, they may choose interdisciplinary learning to deliver part or all of the content they will present. This method can help bring students to a new awareness of the meaningful connections that exist among the disciplines.
