Historical Foundations of Curriculum, Modern Theorists and Practice in Curriculum

Q: Review the historical foundations of curriculum and then discuss two movements that had a significant impact on high school curriculum in the 1800s and continue to have an impact today. Speculate on the reasons the movements had and continue to have an impact. Review Table 3.4 “Overview of Curriculum Theorists, 1918—present.” Considering that the textbook claimed that Tyler “…summed up the best principles of curriculum making for the first half of the 20th century,” discuss two theorists that you believe have made a significant contribution to curriculum development. Provide reasons and examples to support your response.

Q: From the e-Activity, discuss at least three current areas of focus in curriculum development in either your specific subject area or an area of interest, or K-12 (include grade or age level). Then, discuss how those areas could impact curriculum design in your teaching area or school. Provide the Website(s) you referenced in your discussion, using APA format.
