Curriculum Philosophy: Administration
Curriculum Philosophy Tim Colgate
Grand Canyon University: EDA561

Curriculum Philosophy This exercise was very affirming to what I already new about myself and the direction my administrative career has taken me. The results put me as a “realist” followed closely by a “experimentalist”. I do believe that as I have been in administration I have seen more issues that face the real world of administration that has geared my philosophy to be based more on facts and data. However, I do believe that had I taken this test 10 years ago when I was teaching I believe I would have been stronger in “experimentalist” and even closer to an “existentialist”. I do see this as a move to be more centered in my

    Color Orange Weaknesses

    I feel this test gave us a better understanding of ourselves and gives us a little more perspective of who we are as a person. This could also reminds us of some things we didn't really think about but feel they do apply to ourselves as well as help us define what we would like to change such as become more tolerant of people or not let criticism get the best of us. This test showed us a little of what other people applied to themselves and how we can accept people more and their strengths along with their…

    I on the other hand was one of Trustee, decisive in practical affairs, and a guardian of time honored institutions. My interviewee felt as if the test was somewhat accurate and that it lacked accuracy on how she believed she should of scored, she had a hard time believing that only a little over 13% of the population was indeed similar to her. She felt that with Christianity being as high as it was in the U.S. that more people should have been scored as to have the desire to help others in need and to mentor to them. I thought that the test was fairly accurate for me as I am very traditional in my thinking and decisive, but felt similar as I thought that more than 11% should be like…

    Education and Curriculum

    The word ‘curriculum’ originates from the chariot tracks in Greece. In Latin ‘curriculum’ was a racing chariot; and ‘currere’ was to run. Therefore it was a course. ‘Curriculum is a body of knowledge-content and/or subjects. Education in this sense is the process by which these are transmitted or 'delivered' to students by the most effective methods that can be devised.’ (Blenkin et al 1992, pg 23). And so, curriculum is the activities that learners will undertake to achieve certain learning achievements and goals. The planning, learners experience and order in which it occurs are all part of the curriculum. There are a vast amount of elements that help shape a curriculum and there are many different strategies and approaches to the design and implementation of a curriculum. In both day opportunities and the training department of South Tyneside Council for whom I work, the curriculum is designed around the objectives set by my employer.…

    Real Age Assesment

    As I completed this assignment I couldn’t grasp on how this realage test has made an impact in my life. I was overwhelmed by all the questions they were asking me. Why because to some questions I had a hard time answering, not because I didn’t know the answer but because I didn’t think they had an effect on my health. This test has allowed me to see what made me happy, what made me Mad., Other ways to learn how to control my emotions and learn how to maintain a healthy life. It wasn’t until now that I realized that i was not on the right track. For example there was a question that I was asked which was do I stay in touch with my friends.…

    Philosophy Of Classroom Management

    I believe that my classroom management plan will work to provide my students with a safe and supportive learning environment in many different ways. My classroom management plan is supportive because it includes outside resources that not all classrooms might have. I have implemented a technology/digital center so the students are able to work on assignments in the class. I also have stations where the students are able to work in a group of four or a group of five with the teacher instructing them. My class room is safe for all students because there is enough space to get throughout the entire classroom without having things in the way. There is a nice flow of space.…

    History of Special Education Assessment Reflection

    David Perkins once said, “Assessment in this spirit does not concern assignment of grades or evaluation of whether instruction was effective. It’s assessment designed squarely to feed into the learning process and make the learning stronger” (Perkins, 2009, p. 83). I believe this quote fits in well with the week at hand. We discussed the types of assessments, the need, and the results. I have mixed emotions when it comes to testing, but definitely see the need for it to be done.…

    Personal Philosophy of Education

    In life there are several times that we make a set of guidelines that we want to live by. These are goal in which we hope to achieve. On the other hand, teachers live by a philosophy. We call this our personal guide to living and teaching. Philosophy is defined as a pursuit of wisdom of a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational mean. In the essay I will describe my personal philosophy of education. What I believe is the purpose of education, the student teacher relationship, and the philosophy in which my views are expressed. A teacher’s philosophy is written according to their values, beliefs, actions, and knowledge. My paper will be answering this question “Why do I teach?”…

    Educational Administration

    With the introduction of market socialism, rural migrants are growing in China’s urban areas, like Bei Jing, Shang Hai and Guang Zhou. Due to frequent moves, poverty, pressures on parents, and related factors, children from these rural families are not achieving in China’s urban schools. While this problem is distinctive in many ways to the Chinese context, it also shares some “family-resembling” characteristics with the education of poor and minority students in American urban schools. In this essay, I first set forth similarities and differences between these two populations of student. Next, I indicate and analyze the leadership practices that are commonly advocated in the US context for helping these students to achieve in urban education, and finally, I discuss the some of the implication of such practices for the Chinese context.…
