Asking questions about strategies and services use could cause students and colleagues to become defensive, because they may view it as questioning their commitment or abilities. Examining one’s own teaching practices can reveal flawed ideologies and practices. This discomfort can be further complicated by the formalization and examination of techniques used to collect and assess research data. Collection concerns include access to and cooperation by the participants. The time constraints and additional workloads caused by the data collection and analysis create other potential problems.
The article states that “Teachers most often combine approaches to curriculum as they plan their week. For example, a teacher may plan a unit on magnets in the science area; a lesson on learning how to stop drop and roll during large group time and independent child choice time during which children may choose to continue their work on a project on turtles” (Harris Helm, 2008). I thought it was great that the article gave examples of curriculum and lesson plan ideas. It made connections on specific learning experiences. The article also addressed how “teachers can take the first steps to rich integration of standards and required curriculum into engaging learning experiences by making sure they have a clear understanding of what children need to learn and then anticipating how they might learn these in the learning experience” (Harris Helm, 2008).
The central focus and purpose of the content I will teach in this learning segment is to demonstrate to my students how the Constitutional Convention shaped America into what it is today.

The Civil war is one of the largest topics covered in 8th grade US history, with it’s change in America affecting us to this day. The importance of this unit may not be widely known, but the Civil war changed our country for the better. Being able to have a struggle to learn from to know how to make better decisions for our country’s future is essential to keep this country together. How we get taught about the Civil war can vary depending on the state and the books you read. I was given the chance to compare the Michigan State Curriculum on the Civil war and the book “Lincoln’s last Days” by Bill O’Reilly and Dwight Jon Zimmerman, and I must say the differences in the two are very apparent.
disciplines might bridge differences to enable curricular improvement. For your primary post, select any one theory, conceptualization, or research study and briefly describe it. How might you make a connection between what you selected and how it could be used for curricular improvement? Beth can you make this understandable and remember the question I have to answer is above ( in read)
Dewey’s philosophy of education rooted itself in the idea of learning by doing, this was in contrast to typical, traditional common schools, the curriculum did not focus on students listening to a teacher lecture while they sat attentively in the classroom. Dewey’s method was hands on and child-centered. Creativity, self-development and a push back against standardization characterized Dewey’s model of education. The progressive movement was primarily an effort to change the philosophy of teaching concerning the development of students and curriculum

(Miller & Almon, 2009). Children can learn from the different activities that the curriculum provides that fit all the students. In addition, children have the choice to choose which activity they want to do, and they have the chance to talk or share their opinion. Moreover, these curriculums are necessary conditions for ensuring optimal growth and development of young

An effective teacher is likely to switch and mix new approaches to suit the objectives of the unit of work or lesson. As objectives vary within a lesson, the effective teacher will move between different teaching approaches or methods. The teacher begins by deciding what he or she wishes to achieve and then chooses the most appropriate method of realizing those objectives. By injecting pedagogical approach to teaching, students can have a better chance and can engage to physical education and sports.
In this assignment, I will be writing on how to apply the principles of pedagogy in my area of specialism. Effective teacher uses diverse teaching strategies and universal approaches that suit situations, different strategies in different grouping of learners to improve learning outcomes, There are different teaching styles that suit different learners backgrounds and ability. Teachers are ldentified in their profession as ‘learning specialist’ , and there are five principles of good pedagogy which are Motivation, Exposition, Direction of activity and Inviting imitation. Andragogy is the best approach for effective delivery and pedagogy, both approaches must be used to ensure effective delivery. The principle is the idea of the curriculum and requirement of my subject area, I adopted pedagogy and andragogy that learners will understand The word motivation preceeds teaching at all times the teacher is preparing for delivery of effective and engaging instructional process.
Assignment 1: Curriculum Inception Angela Bass Dr. Melanie Gallman EDU 555 Strayer University January 20, 2018 Introduction Curriculum development describes how a training or teaching organization plans and guides learning. It involves planning, implementation, and monitoring of a systematic process that creates a positive learning environment. It is, therefore, important to design a pilot curriculum that ensures proper evaluation of the content, teaching materials as well as teaching methods involved in the changed curriculum (McKinn, 2008). The pilot curriculum also serves as an assessment tool for acceptance of the curriculum by the faculty and students.
Through this activity, the teachers assure that the learners are able to participate fully in the curriculum. As the supports given by the teacher the learners allow them to transfer their skills and knowledge to
The importance of good lesson planning and the benefits they have for the teacher. When considering the importance and even the significant of effective lesson planning, quite often we immediately considering the benefits that this can have on the student. Effective lesson planning certainly does benefit the student, discussed later in this essay.
I was particularly struck by the distinction between different modes of delivering curriculum and in particular the contrast between Product and Process methods, in curriculum development. At this point it might be useful to analyse the distinction between these two processes. Neary identifies the Product Model as one that “emphasises plans and intentions” whereas in the Process Model, the emphasis is on the “activities and effects” (O’Neill 2015, p27). In essence therefore the Product Model can be regarded as a more traditional and historically tested method of developing curriculum. The work of John Franklin Bobbitt and Ralph Tyler very much advocate Product curricular designs, maintaining that these designs are centred on the creation of a disciplined and “structured learning environment for students” (O’Neill 2015, p).
