Discussion 3: Models of Curriculum Development

As school districts across the nation address societal demands and legislative mandates to prepare a workforce for the 2lst century, school leaders find themselves working to change curriculum within their schools. To achieve this challenging, sometimes controversial task of curriculum alignment and revision, school leaders must work with diverse constituencies to achieve the best balance of needs, desires, appropriate assessment, and instruction.Achieving effective curriculum revision, therefore, requires a thorough understanding of the processes and principles of the changing paradigms affecting curriculum development.

Curriculum development is viewed as occurring on a variety of levels beginning with the classroom and moving through a spectrum to include national and international sectors. Each level in ascending order exercises authority over preceding levels. Sectors are distinguished from levels because sectors have no or limited power over the five levels. Forces outside of schools also influence curriculum decision making.

Discussion:

Identify & describe a curriculum revision that has taken place in your organization/school/district in the last 5 years. Based on your readings regarding the curriculum change process, address the following questions in your discussion.

  • Reference against the 5 levels mentioned in the Gordon, et al pp.50-60.
  • 1. What determined the “success” of the curriculum revision processes?
  • 2. Were there specific factors that had a significant impact on whether or not the revision project was successful?
  • 3. What views did teachers have on the process of curriculum revision processes?
  • 4. How did teacher attitudes and/or backgrounds have an impact on the success or failure of curriculum revision procedures?
  • 5. How did the revision procedures have an influence on its success or failure?
  • 6. What effect, if any, did pre-service training have on the revision process?
  • 7. What is your opinion about the effectiveness of the process? What would you have done differently ( if anything) to influence the outcome?

My research is 2003 war in Iraq.

My research is 2003 war in Iraq.

explore the process of a U.S. foreign policy decision, e.g. How did the Bush Administration make the decision to attack Iraq in 2003?

The format of the paper should be as follows:

Part one introduces the research question, provides the argument/thesis/hypothesis, and lays out the logic of the model of foreign policy analysis used in the paper.

  • What is the main question that you would like to examine? I would like to know if the students know and can convey clearly what it is that they are trying to explain.
  • The hypothesis should be a concise, clear, and effective summary of the main argument of the paper. Since your paper is designed to respond to a specific question, your hypothesis should contain the succinct but complete answer to that question. If I have to wonder what the thesis is, or where the thesis is, then the thesis is not strong and clear.

Part two provides the context or a brief history of the case-study explored in the paper.

Part three provides the evidence to support the assumptions and claims of the model used in the paper. Does the evidence (you claim supports your argument), in fact, support your argument?

Part four concludes. In this section you effectively sum up all different elements of the paper from part one to part three.

Sources: You need to draw on at least 10 outside sources to write your paper. I encourage you to use the readings assigned for the class. However, those will not count toward the 10 outside sources.

 

Grammar: Please proofread your paper before submitting it.

Page limit: The paper should be 5 pages in length, double spaced, font 12, Times New Roman, Standard Margins (1” top and bottom; 1.25’’ left and right). Papers that exceed or are significantly below the page limit will be penalized. Please use page number.

CA451Communication and Leadership in Groups and TeamsWeek5Discussion – Evaluation and Argument

Guidelines: Research shows that students who are engaged in their courses learn more and stay in school. The traditional undergraduate classroom where lecture rules can get in the way of student learning— this class is full of discussion to help you remain engaged with the material and your peers. You must post a research-based, thoughtful, and substantive initial posting for each weekly topic. You must also provide a quality research-based response to two fellow students’ initial postings by Sunday. There is no word limit here but the contributions should be quality contributions, meaning they promote active discussion. Scholarly arguing– discussing differences of opinion and supporting those opinions with evidence and reason without getting emotionally involved in the argument– is a key skill that is developed in school and will serve you as you work in groups or continue your education. Play devil’s advocate. Periodically argue for the side you disagree with– you’ll be better at seeing arguments and better able to take other people’s perspectives– a key communication skill. Ensure all writing is error-free and have correct APA citations and references.

Directions:

Write Two Paragraphs:

  1. Find a piece of information on a controversial topic on the web. Do not use traditional news sources.
    1. For your initial post, give us that piece of information and include a link (citation/reference appropriately) to the source where you obtained the content.
    2. For additional posts, argue in support of a peer’s evaluation.

Requirements: Looking for a more in-depth guide with all the details.
