    In regards to the newly state-mandated, textbook-based curriculum for Kindergarten, I am apprehensive to the benefits of such said curriculum for children so young. Although textbooks cover lots of information in a given subject they aren’t nearly as effective as age-appropriate literature in their ability to interest children in the area of topic and getting them excited about learning. Kindergarten aged children will most likely see typical textbooks as boring and/or overwhelming. At this age children are at the beginner stage of reading, some may not have any prior reading skills, which advises that textbooks are too far-fetched for their age group.…

    In order to be an effective middle school educator, it is imperative to understand the developmental complexity of young adolescents. Students aged ten to fifteen experience irregular personal changes that call for certain needs. Not only are students at this age diverse in their backgrounds, but also they are also diverse in their development. During the middle school years, young adolescents experience a number of intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral changes. Middle schools need to be developmentally responsive meaning that they need to consider the particular nature of students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade while making school decisions. As a middle level professional, it is my responsibility to accommodate…

    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.…

    Before Common Core Curriculum the Arts known as music, theater, dance and visual art were considered beneficial subjects and not essential to the learning process (Jacobs, 1999). During the research analysis of Critical Links in 2002: Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social Development “provided evidence for enhancing learning and achievement as well as positive social outcomes when the arts were integral to students’ learning experiences” lawmakers started looking at the Arts in education more seriously (Burns, 2003, p. 5). Writer Victoria Jacobs explains, “Arts in elementary schools have often been separated from the core curriculum and instead, offered as enrichment activities that are considered beneficial but not essential”…

    Armitage, et al (1999) looks at exploring the curriculum and asks why our courses look the way they look, how they may have developed and how we can understand our courses better in order to help improve the quality of our student’s learning. It also covers definitions of ‘curriculum’ “The curriculum is a formal course of study as at a college, university or training provider” This is a definition with which I agree, or it is “... the public form of attempting to put an educational idea into practice” which shows just a few diverse set of definitions. The definitions range from showing and making an impact to the teacher and training planning and also with the planning across my college. Key issues in defining ‘curriculum’ include statements of what is to be learned, pointers as to the outcomes of this learning and explanations about the vision behind the curriculum. It has begun to expose and consider our own ideas about curriculum. Goodson (1994, quoted in Armitage, et al 1999) makes the interesting point that, while curriculum development and implementation have been written about by so many people, the more fundamental issues of curriculum definition, who constructs it, why and for who have been more neglected. This is something which I have often questioned myself.…
