Lesson 1: Learning Activity: 1. Intended Curriculum is planned by the administrators, faculty/staff. Aside to that we also have other stakeholders who will determine the best methods for teaching/learning as well as determine what is ultimately required of the student for mastery learning of concepts, skills and knowledge at each grade level and align written curriculum, horizontally and vertically with the state and national documents. 2. The teachers are basically the main curriculum implementers as they play wide role in the implementation process with their knowledge, experiences and competencies. 3. It is basically the students as they have learned from the total school setting, the books and most importantly, to the teachers. Aside to that, these are actually the curriculum outcomes in which it measures document of the student’s growth of thinking, knowledge, and abilities over a period of time, typically a year. Your Idea! A curriculum framework is an organized plan or set of standards or learning outcomes that defines the content to be learned in terms of clear, definable standards of what the students should know and be able to do. Of course, when we talk about the curriculum framework, the interrelatedness of the intended, implemented, and achieved curriculum is given. Starting with the intended curriculum since it is responsible for the plan for learning and contains the objectives, selection, and organization of the content, proceed to the implementation or the implemented curriculum as it includes the structure, organization, balance, and presentation of the content in the classroom. Then, finally, coming from its name, “achieved” curriculum, these are the student outcomes that basically measure a document of students growth in thinking, knowledge, and abilities over a period of time. Lesson 2: 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. No Your Idea! 1. If I were the principal, administrative flexibility would be exercised in such a way that I would encourage the teachers and faculty to be open to different approaches to teaching, most especially to be willing to address the needs of the students by willingly modifying their instruction and being extra creative in their teaching. In that way, they can easily adapt to what we call the principle of flexibility in terms of teaching. 2. Through reworking or revision of the flow of the curriculum that aims to provide what suits the student’s current needs. In that way, students are able to achieve continuity in their learning with those multiple teaching methodologies, which allow them to explore, adapt, influence, change, engage, and most importantly, learn. Lesson 3 1. Tools are necessary as it help to assess the curriculum as well as the teaching process which can provide the needed outcome results of the students. Through that it can now evaluate the instructions, the students, and the overall flow of the curriculum which give more chances for change or improvements. 2. Research Validated Tools is created to measure achievements, evaluate quality and chart future decisions. Since, on going evaluation should be an integral part of the educational process, this tool and materials for both child assessment and program assessment is preferred. 3. The advantages of the curriculum-based assessment is to provide an accurate score that really reflects the academic abilities of the student in the curriculum learned. This can help can also help to identify academic weaknesses of the students and provide specialized instruction as needed. What more advantageable to it is that it can present historical record of the student’s academic performance and even act as a predictor of the student’s future performance. Your idea! 1. The other tools for assessment involves child progress assessment, infant toddler child observation record (COR), early literacy skills assessment (ELSA) and program assessment. 2. The tools to assess learner’s performance in classroom can be standardized, teacher made test, demonstration, exhibition, observation, graded recitation, portfolios or journals, reporting or speeches, projects and illustration.
