What things do you keep in mind when looking at curriculum? en-us 2018-01-18 00:34:24 UTC 2018-02-01 22:44:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mgreene22/ixoljp5mvm7l/wish/226282274 Curriculum is the pathway to information.  It provides a blueprint for my instruction and I decide the tools, or determine how to build my students' knowledge.   Curriculum means that someone has set a goal for basic knowledge and it needs to expanded upon.

I try to maintain a level of independent thought when viewing curriculum so that I can put my own pedagogical spin on it.

It guides my instructional decisions throughout the year. I look at the curriculum provided and expand on it as much as I can to broaden my kids' knowledge. When looking at the curriculum, I keep on mind what my students should already know and also what they will be required to know the following school year so I can thigh it all together.

I use the curriculum to guide my instruction when planning a variety of learning opportunities. I keep in mind the vertical curriculum standards to ensure that I am aware of the knowledge students are exposed to from previous years and what they are expected to understand for future grade levels. Knowing vertical alignment allows me to close any gaps that may be present in curriculum.

Regardless of grade level or content area, a rich curriculum is needed in order for students to reach a desired outcome. How am I going to get from point A to point B in my instruction? The strategies implemented in my classroom will allow students to navigate that path. While our curriculum is often dictated by specific standards I have the flexibility of choosing my teaching methods. The standards (SOL's) serve as my foundation then I will build upon those within my instructional planning.
