Description

This course provides a continued in-depth study of the major ideologies and theories that have shaped curriculum and in-struction and design that have shaped curriculum theory and thought. A specific field component, involving a critique of tone of the curriculum areas outside of the major disciplines (e.g., fine arts, music, physical education, reading in the second-ary schools, etc.), or of support services (e.g., special education, counseling, library, nursing, etc.), will be required. The course will emphasize goal-setting, decision-making and the role of the leader in the planning and implementation of curricular de-sign with special attention to student learning styles and strengths for the diverse school population.
