Important Concepts

Curriculum: It is the outline of concepts to be taught to students to help them meet the content standards. Curriculum is what is taught in a given course or subject. Curriculum refers to an interactive system of instruction and learning with specific goals, contents, strategies, measurement, and resources.

It is a framework that identifies: learning goals for children, concepts and skills to taught, teaching strategies, and instructional methods.


Curriculum Design: Curriculum design is seeing the big picture. When designing a unit, teachers think in terms of what they wants students to be able to know and do after the entire unit is over. It is to check why these pieces of knowledge or skills are important. Skips straight to the end of the unit, instead of thinking about what students will learn that day helps. The day-to-day planning falls into place much more easily once teachers have sketched out the big picture. Some people call this method backward design, where you start at the end and work backwards to think about what particular activities and experiences will start moving your students toward where you hope they will be. If you don't have a big picture or end goal in mind, you might lose track of your own purpose. If you don't know where you're going, it's really hard to help your students get there!
