Wednesday 5:30 - 9:20
INSTRUCTOR: Dr. David Hopkins
LOCATION: on campus
The course will assist the student:
- to develop competencies related to curriculum development, evaluation
and implementation;
- to gain theoretical and practical understanding of curriculum and its
implication for education and society;
- to develop curriculum related to his/her own subject area age group
and professional needs; and
- to internalize a model of self-education applicable to both institutional
and non-institutional settings and life long learning.
These goals will be developed through the following activities:
- class presentations and workshops;
- individual and group negotiated contracts on competencies related to
curriculum development;
- critical discussion of related readings; and
- consultations with community resources, experts in the field and other
members of the teaching profession.
Requirements for the course will be met through contracts, negotiated
with the instructor, which focus on the acquisition of competencies
relevant to curriculum development. These negotiated contracts will
also form the basis of the letter grade assigned at the end of the course.
