Curricular Foundations

Curricular Foundations: Read Chapters 13 & 14 The Changing Purposes of American Education & Curriculum and Instruction

Glance over chapter 13, but read 14 in detail. In chapter 14, tell us  about your philosophical leanings on curriculum. Are you  subject-centered or student-centered curriculum based? Do you believe in  the back to basics approach or making curriculum relevant to the lives  of students? Page 431 provides a chart delineating the beliefs.

You may also discuss the role of technology in the classroom and various pedagogical strategies you connect with.
