Module 2 DB
My experience with developing curriculum has been totally for my undergrad and graduate level courses that I've taken in the past. To date, I have not had any experience with accreditation. Although, my experience is limited to the classroom, there are several lessons and challenges that I have learned while developing curriculum. Lessons learned: 1) One must be precise with what you would like to cover in your lesson, and 2) make sure that the lesson is detailed enough so that any instructor can follow easily. Challenges: 1) It is very easy to get off task and ramble about a subject; you must stay focused, and 2) It is also very easy to provide too much information in a short time period; you must not overwhelm your students by giving them too much information to learn at once.

DeAundre, I just wanted to say that I completely agree with you regarding the challenges of curriculum development. When I teach, I often want to say way more than is needed and I end feeling as though I have overwhelmed my clients. I know you said you have only had exposure to curriculum development within your classes but how have you had to (or what would you do in the future) to overcome that challenge?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lessons learned. You made some great points. It is very easy to get off subject and is important for the instructor/teacher to get back on track. I have been in classes where the teacher gets very off track and we don't cover half the things we are suppose to cover but yet we are still held accountable for the topics we never got to. It can become frustrating. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I like your profile picture!
