Understandings
Teaching Strategies are ways and means by which you implement a method. These are
used to help students to achieve the desired learning outcomes by learning the desired course
content.
Integrative Learning helps the student make connections and relevance between and
among subjects. It allows the learners to engage in purposeful, relevant learning. It encourages
the learners to see the interconnectedness and interrelationships between the curriculum areas
rather than focusing in isolated curriculum areas.

contain opportunities for learners to learn more about content through purposeful activities.
