Description
The theories and application of curriculum development, design, alignment and evaluation are examined with practical application of federal, state and district curriculum guidelines for early childhood, middle childhood, adolescent and young adult students. Students understand major curriculum design models, interpret school district curricula, initiate needs analysis, adjust content as needs and conditions change, and understand the articulation of an entire school district curriculum. The relationship of curriculum to the school philosophy, personnel, outside agencies, research and school community resources are discussed and applied.
