	Overview
	This bilingual module further develops students� understanding and deployment of relevant theories for the effective linkage, integration and differentiation of learning introduced in Year 1 and 2. Students� competence in adopting an integrated approach to teaching by using literacy, numeracy and scientific enquiry across all curriculum areas will be enhanced. �They will examine, select and apply a wide range of relevant literacy, numeracy and scientific enquiry strategies to support learning across the curriculum. Students will be enabled to employ project-based, interdisciplinary teaching and learning approaches. �They will enhance their competence in coordinating children�s learning through the use of enquiry, research, investigation, recording/reporting and presentation of work, supported by a range of relevant ICT tools and media. Story and relevant texts in both languages will be studied and analysed as important media and learning stimuli across all subject areas. Assessment for and assessment of learning is a key component of this module.

	Learning Outcomes
	On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Critically examine theories underpinning the integration of mathematical and scientific enquiry across the curriculum and the integration of other subject areas into mathematics and science learning. � Demonstrate a working knowledge of the principles and strategies of integration within the context of the Primary School Curriculum Develop, implement and review cross-curricular planning for teaching mathematics and scientific enquiry and for the integration of other subjects into mathematics and science learning. � Review, select and use appropriate methodologies, including ICT and collaborative learning, resources and materials for the integration of mathematical and scientific enquiry across the curriculum (including use of ICT) Explore, facilitate and support the use of play in integrating mathematical and scientific learning across the curriculum. � Link and integrate mathematics and science across the curriculum using the project approach. Facilitate the use of a variety of methods of children recording their mathematics and science learning using a cross-curricular approach � Document and assess children�s cross-curricular work including self and peer evaluation and utilize the information gathered for differentiation purposes Facilitate the use of a variety of methods of children recording their mathematics and science learning using a cross-curricular approach � Document and assess children�s cross-curricular work including self and peer evaluation and utilize the information gathered for differentiation purposes Develop strategies to communicate, collaborate and co-operate with parents/families to facilitate teaching, learning and assessment in this area � Demonstrate an increased knowledge of age-appropriate linkages between reading, writing, speaking, listening, thinking and viewing (visual literacy) and their application across the curriculum Demonstrate a knowledge of relevant theories, terminology and concepts around language learning and teaching and evaluate the applicability of these systems for informing their own practice � Independently select, use and evaluate a wide range of literary and information texts and resources in English and Irish from a wide range of genres and media in different subject areas and at different class levels Reflect on how the skills, concepts and attitudes involved in language, literature and communication can support children�s learning and their active and creative experiences across all curriculum areas � Identify, plan and apply appropriate classroom methodologies for the teaching of reading, writing, speaking and listening in English and Irish from the junior classes to sixth class
