EDGR 610 Dimensions of Curriculum Management & Design
This first curriculum strand was an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of historical and current influences that impact our curriculum design, structure, and management. We were able to explore what it means to create responsive curriculum now and in the future. Through researching current and up-to-date best practices in teaching and development, we work to revise and reassess curriculum that is outdated and historically inaccurate so that we can maximize student learning and understanding. We were given opportunities to examine our own teaching techniques, approaches to curriculum development, management of time, and set goals to enhance and find joy in our teaching practices.
For this course, I decided to share my summative reflection and curriculum management project. I believe that my summative reflection shows my early-on thinking at the beginning of this program and has allowed me to build a foundation that is welcomed to growth, feedback, and progressive movement forward. My management project shows an example of this thinking with my creation of a program called Stop, Drop, and Read. With wanting a focus on curriculum that is engaging and challenges students, there needs to be a simple emphasis on reading. With this program, my intention was to foster a community of readers throughout our entire school so that students can see how the adults also find reading as a joy rather than another thing they have to learn in school.
