3.7 Finding Cross-Curriculum Priorities
How to identify connections to broader learning themes.
CurricuLLM can help you see how your lessons or assessments link to bigger themes that are part of many subjects, like sustainability or intercultural understanding.
Why this matters
Cross-curriculum priorities are meant to show up in lots of subjects, not just one. With CurricuLLM you can:
- Show how your teaching connects to wider important ideas.
- Give students richer learning experiences.
- Make sure you're covering areas schools often value.
How to use it
- Type your lesson or task into CurricuLLM in simple language.
- Example: "Students will investigate renewable energy sources and present their findings."
- Ask about cross-curriculum priorities.
- Example: "Which cross-curriculum priorities could this task include?"
- Check the suggestions and decide how to highlight those links in your teaching.
- Example: A science task on renewable energy could link to sustainability. A history task could link to intercultural understanding.
Teacher tips
- Use this when planning new units. It's easier to include priorities from the start than to add them later.
- Even if your subject doesn't clearly connect, CurricuLLM can suggest creative ideas.
- Not every lesson has to include every priority. Aim for balance across the term or year.
Easy way to think about it
Cross-curriculum priorities are like threads in a piece of fabric. CurricuLLM helps you see which threads are already in your lesson and which ones you could add.
