Integrated Learning Program

A child’s education is more than a series of disconnected lessons. We view the learning process as a tapestry where the threads of knowledge weave together to create interdependent, meaningful understanding. Inspired by the teachings of Dewey, Froebel, and Piaget, the Integrated Learning Program will help you create your own democratic classroom that draws connections between the life of the child and the life of the classroom.

Create a classroom of integrated pursuits.

We develop teachers who can design, implement, and manage a vast range of essential classroom tasks. Managing time and the classroom, evaluating students, supporting positive behaviors, facilitating stimulating lessons and activities, integrating technology, and designing thematic curriculum are just a few of the skills we help you to strengthen.

Choose from two concentrations to focus your studies.

You can focus your education at Antioch New England. We offer you the choice of an Arts and Humanities or Science and Environmental Education concentration.

Activate your learning through hands-on internships.

Gain valuable teaching experience through two semester-long classroom internships.

Students in the Integrated Learning Program make connections among developmental psychology, the elementary curriculum, their internships, art and science, and education and social policy. View course descriptions for more information about the courses offered in these areas.
