Designing Multidisciplinary Integrated Curriculum Units.

Acknowledgments The authors want to thank the many people who contributed to this publication. Matt Perry, formerly Principal of the Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School (HPHS) in Sacramento, California, enthusiastically encouraged interdis-ciplinary curriculum integration throughout the school and supported our creation of this manual. For five years, teachers at HPHS have used this approach to develop integrated curriculum units and have participated in exciting conversations about how to advance student learning. This manual reflects their dedication and hard work. Beverly Campbell of BECGroup Consulting and the National Consortium on Health Science Education (NCHSE) carefully read the original manuscript and provided helpful comments. She was instrumental in guiding the successful curriculum integration work at HPHS. Carole Stacy, Executive Director of NCHSE, provided support throughout the original curriculum development effort. We wish to extend our special thanks to Kathleen Harris, Director of Coaching for ConnectEd, who helped us refine and expand our work on curriculum mapping. Director at the James Irvine Foundation, for their ongoing support and vision to improve students' education and career outcomes through career-focused pathways that incorporate interdisciplinary curriculum integration.
