EDU 5686 Curriculum and Instruction: Design for Learning
Curriculum theory, as well as current national and local trends in curriculum development and design, will be investigated and analyzed to understand why and how curriculum is shaped. Using data driven research reporting, students needs analysis and assessment of pupil achievement, an accountability system will help to design a curriculum path for school-wide improvement. In our diverse learning communities, an understanding of the different strategies for learning and the importance of designing curriculum for all learners will be explored. Students support services and the provisions of these services to the learner will be identified in order to address the curriculum needs of all. A field experience may be a component of this course. Field experience hours will be tallied throughout the SBL course of study. Cumulative field experience hours from courses (other than the internship) may not exceed 100 hours. The difference will be added to the internship experience requirement for a program total of 250 hours. The field experience includes experiences in districts serving students at different developmental levels and with a variety of characteristics and socioeconomic backgrounds. Along with a 2-page summary outlining the field experience, candidates must complete the portfolio which is a Chalk & Wire benchmark and Advanced Certificate requirement.
