EDUCATION 084 - Curriculum and Instruction

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

In this seminar, students examine long-term curriculum development. After discussing curriculum theory students choose a theme in an area of the curriculum which they wish to explore and develop a "curriculum project" (short course or teaching unit) which could be used to teach their specific theme over a period of several weeks. Attention is given to aligning curricula with New York State Learning Standards and developing integrated curricula as well as adapting curricula for students with special needs. Students also examine a number of models of teaching. Groups of students are assigned different models of teaching, design lesson plans illustrating those models, and present those lessons for analysis. Assessment is also discussed in terms of the curriculum projects which students develop. (Gibbon, Sherman , Spring, offered annually)
