EDU-550 Curriculum: Development And Design

This course will enable master teachers to give leadership to the process of curriculum development in schools, kindergarten through high school level. Topics include the theoretical foundations, professional literature and language of curriculum, models for curriculum development, curricular processes, and the role of personnel, governments, and agencies in those processes. In this first of four core courses, special emphasis is given to four roles of the teacher who functions as a change agent. The course is designed to assist teachers in translating theory into practice through development of a Showcase Teaching Unit that will synthesize their learning. Activities will be consistent with the Teacher as World Changer conceptual framework and its corresponding five outcomes.
