Overview
Read Chapters 6 to 9 in the textbook. For this assignment you will take on the role of the director in a developmental education program at a community college. Recently, your program is reforming its developmental mathematics curriculum. As the director, you would like to draw a blueprint and distribute it for discussion in the program. In this session, you will develop a brief blueprint for the curriculum reform collaborative as a class. You will be responsible for presenting your plan of the curriculum development stages: Design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In your plan, please make sure you discuss in detail the activities you will be doing in the stage. When planning the activities, please consider the foundations we discuss in the last two modules. How will your activities be influenced by those foundations? What are the things you will take into consideration when planning the activities?
Module 4: Curriculum Design, Development, Implementation, &
In DEED 544 Curriculum Design, you have learned the steps in curriculum development. This module is not only a revisit of the curriculum development steps, but also builds on our understanding of the foundations of curriculum. As a practice, we will take on the role of the director of a developmental education program. We will spend some time to discuss the reform of curriculum within the hypothetical program. This practice will allow us to practice developing curriculum for a program, as well as reflecting the curriculum development process by considering a variety of influencing sources.
Module Objectives By the end of this module, you will be able to: 1. Describe the curriculum development process. 2. Apply the curriculum development process in reforming
