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.
