Appendix C - Cross-Curricular Outlines

There are a number of cross-curricular areas that have been incorporated into the Science Integrated Resource Package (K-7). These cross-curricular areas are represented in the prescribed learning outcomes or in one or more of the other components of the IRP.

The three principles of learning described in the introduction of this IRP support the foundation of the K-12 Education Plan. They have guided all aspects of the development of this document, including the curriculum outcomes, instructional strategies, assessment strategies, and learning resource evaluations. In addition to the three principles, it is recognized that British Columbia's schools include young people of varied backgrounds, interests, abilities, and needs. In order to meet these needs and ensure equity and access for all learners, the development of each component of this document has also been guided by a series of cross-curricular outlines. It is expected that these principles and cross-curricular outlines will guide the users of this document as they engage in school and classroom organization and instructional planning and practice.

The following cross-curricular outlines have been used to focus the development and evaluation of the components of the IRP:
