Edina Public Schools Curriculum Curriculum Development Curriculum Development Curriculum Decision Making A new curriculum cycle for each content area begins every four years. During the cycle, the content area is studied and evaluated; a new curriculum plan is implemented; updated materials are purchased; staff members are trained; and new assessments are established. The goal of the process is to maintain quality of instruction and promote successful student performance with the best materials and practices available. The cycle starts with a study of Trends and Issues in the area being evaluated. This study involves meeting with experts, reviewing research, reading literature reviews, visiting sites, attending conferences, participating in study groups, etc. Concurrently, a Needs Assessment is developed by a committee of teachers, parents, administrators, students, and community members. A district Beliefs and Direction Statement is then written, based on the implications of the Trends and Issues study, the Needs Assessment, and information collected about what practices should start, stop, and stay in the areas of curriculum and instruction, assessment, materials and technology. Actual implementation of the new curriculum plan takes place in the third year of the cycle.

Indeed, TV news and the Internet aside, those famous words spoken by humorist Will Rogers ring truer today than ever. Rogers wouldn't recognize the newspaper of the 1990s - the variety of news it offers; the abundance of photos; the text peppered with charts, graphs, and maps. Today more than ever, the newspaper is a source for all one needs to know. And, more than ever, teachers recognize the usefulness and importance of "using the news" and of developing students who have good newsreading skills and an awareness of current events. Among the benefits students often cite, "current events" programs

Ordering Information Sidebars: Essential Questions to Shape a School's Curriculum A Botany Unit Designed Around Essential Questions A Project in Factoring for First-Year Algebra Students Asking Essential Questions about AIDS ... Information and Resources What are the aims of a high school curriculum? Getting to a clear answer is the necessary first step in rethinking a school's curriculum. But to commit oneself, as Essential Schools do, to the idea that the goal of education is to get students to use their minds well is to take the deceptively simple first step in rethinking our entire system of education. Evidence of how difficult this proves is apparent even among the Coalition of Essential Schools. The governing metaphor of student as worker is accepted among all Essential Schools. But few are taking the necessary and frightening next stepto redesign the entire curriculum around thorough coverage of fewer areas, rather than offering an array of courses aimed to attract students for whom vastly different expectations are held. Why this should be so is a fascinating and deeply political question, best explored by looking, in theory and in practice, at what that student-worker is doing in the Essential School classroom. Authentic Work What, for instance, does it mean for a student to "work" in such a class? Clearly it does not mean to take assiduous notes as a teacher delivers instruction from the front of the room. The fifth of the common principles Coalition schools embrace suggests that teachers, instead, act as coaches"to provoke students to learn how to learn, and thus to teach themselves." This kind of "authentic" student work is active and collaborative; it has evident value and clear goals, and it generates more ideas, connections, and challenges the more it is pursued.

Hansen The University of Western Ontario Curriculum development is a local, regional, or state/provincial level process that student teachers often have difficulty comprehending ( ). In their eyes, it is something undertaken by authorities (e.g., regional advisory committee members or school board writing teams) with years of experience in the school system. The expectation of the teacher candidates, often enough, is that they will learn how to teach and thereby become effective at transmitting the knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with a particular subject or program. Education practitioners with years in the profession know differently. Successful practice in the classroom is inextricably linked to curriculum development-the everyday decisions about both what to teach and how to teach. Choosing technological education as the unit of analysis in this paper is intentional. Technological education is in the midst of an unprecedented curriculum reform in the schools. The origin of the reform, in pragmatic terms, is multifaceted. First, technology itself has changed (

Curriculum Development The course outline of record plays a central role in the curriculum of the California Community Colleges. Standards for the course outline appear in Title 5, in the Curriculum Standards Handbook, in accreditation standards, in intersegmental general education agreements with the California State University and the University of California (IGETC and CSU-GE), and serve as the basis for transfer articulation agreements with individual CSU and UC campuses. As a consequence, discipline faculty and curriculum committee members are faced with the daunting task of writing and approving course outlines which will meet this array of updated standards. Below are the documents meant to assist Curriculum developers in the system: Program and Course Approval Handbook CAN System: Toward Increased Faculty Participation The paper explores the background and purpose of CAN, examines the CAN-ing process, describes the criteria to qualify courses, discusses faculty participation and identifies systemwide issues in the evaluation and funding of the project.

However, effective use of prerequisites requires a balance of several countervailing factors. (Used in this general sense the term prerequisites applies also to corequisites and other limitations on enrollment.) Properly set prerequisites benefit all: students, faculty, and the college. Students know what is expected of them without being denied access, faculty teach prepared students and have a positive classroom environment, and the college has efficient educational programs.

A "pillar" of this challenge is, "Modern computers and learning devices will be accessible to every student." With computers accessible to every student, most teachers and experts in education say the teaching of keyboarding is a given. But when is the best age to teach students proper keyboarding technique?

How Sustainable Development fits into the National Curriculum In the UK The national curriculum for England and Wales recognises the importance of sustainable development and the need for education to promote it. The introductory section states: Education is... a route to equality of opportunity for all, a healthy and just democracy, a productive economy and sustainable development. (The curriculum) should develop (pupils') awareness and understanding of, and respect for, the environments in which they live, and secure their commitment to sustainable development at a personal, local, national and global level. It also gives a definition of education for sustainable development (ESD): Education for sustainable development enables pupils to develop the knowledge, skills, understanding and values to participate in decisions about the way we do things individually and collectively, both locally and globally, that will improve the quality of life now without damaging the planet for the future.

What is the Learning for Sustainable Cities Project? Why should we teach about Sustainable Development? What is Sustainable Development? How can I get involved? ... What is a Sustainable City? Why should we teach about sustainable development? The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was organised by the UN Commission on Environment and Development in recognition that the world needed to start to address global inequalities and promote sustainable development. Agenda 21 (the agenda for the 21st century) was signed by 160 world leaders as the action plan for sustainable development. It calls for all communities to be consulted on what sort of community they want to have in the 21st century and to work out ways of making it sustainable. Agenda 21 also recognised the importance of education in helping to move towards a more sustainable society. 'Education, including formal education, public awareness and training, should be recognised as a process by which human beings and societies can reach their fullest potential. Education is critical for promoting sustainable development and improving the capacity of the people to address environment and development issues.' (Agenda 21, Chapter 36, UNCED 1992)
