  1. Curriculum Development MST 2009

  2. Why it's necessary.... Day….. to.....Day…..

  3. The day to day planning is like…..

  4. The day to day planning is like…..

  5. Need a solid foundation  curriculum

  6. What’s the difference????

  7. Theory - Understanding by Design [Backwards Design] • Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe • “covering the curriculum” vs. “creating curriculum”

  8. Establish Curricular Priorities

  9. See example Also note, there are more examples in the ‘Backwards Design Folder’ of this session’s MST Give-away folder

  10. Pinoy vs. VA

  11. The root cause of MOST of our issues is a faulty curriculum…..

  12. Curriculum – How? A relatively simple step by step guide to creating a weekly curriculum using focused macro skills

  13. Identify areas to target Macro skill focus Determine where to go Determine essential understanding Assess efficacy of lessons Break down of elements Integrate other macro skills in product of “focused macro skill” Prioritize new information Implement

  14. Step 1 – Identify target areas for needed practice. In short, identify what skills need improvement no matter the macro skill. For Example: Spelling, Vocabulary Building, Speaking/Pronunciation, Listening, etc.

  15. Step 2 – Identify the Macro Skill Focus Reading Writing Listening Speaking (Grammar) For this example we will choose “Reading”

  16. Step 3 – Determine where to go. What will your students learn? What will they know how to do? Example: We want our students to be able to comprehend short stories.

  17. Step 4 – Determine the essential understanding points. These points are based on the Standards supplied by DepEd (or for our example, the Commonwealth of Virginia). They are the “big concept” points or the critical thinking points. Example: Understanding the relationship between plot elements

  18. Step 5 – Breakdown of Elements These learning elements are the smaller topics that when added together will lead into the Essential Understanding Point. Example: Essential Understanding – Understanding the relationship between plot elements Breakdown of Elements – Setting, Characters, Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Denouement

  19. Step 5 – Prioritize Breakdown of Elements At this stage, the teacher (you) will decide which elements should be taught first and what should be given the most focus

  20. Step 6 - Integration of other Macro Skills and Target Skills

  21. Step 6 - Integration of other Macro Skills and Target Skills[make a routine]

  22. Step 7 – Implement Lessons Things to consider while implementing a lesson: - Assessment - Differentiation - Using material that matches student level

  23. Step 8 – Assessment Did everything work out? Are students ‘getting’ it? How do you (the teacher) know the students are learning? How can it be improved for the future? Are students understanding the material in the classroom – i.e. right now Are students retaining the information – i.e. in the future

  24. Identify areas to target Macro skill focus Determine where to go Determine essential understanding Assess efficacy of lessons Break down of elements Integrate other macro skills in product of “focused macro skill” Prioritize new information Implement

  25. Ways to Squeeze this in… • English month • Journalism • DepEd or Ched protocol • No Student Left Behind • NAT testing • DOST– occupational test for the 4th years • INSET – teacher trainings • Brigada Eskwela • Masters and PHD • Certificates • First year reading assessment • THEIR REPUATION!!!

  26. IF YOU ARE TO GET ONE THING FROM THIS LAST HOUR… Introduce the “Enhanced Scope and Sequence” to your counterpart. It is an excellent resource for teachers to align the course content with the essential learning and course standards. Although it is a lot of work to completely align a curriculum, it makes creating lessons much easier.

  27. step 1 Materials to make this super-hip hat, you only need one thing: A piece of paper! An 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, but if you want bigger, than tape four pieces together to make one big paper . step 2 Fold the Paper. Fold it in half horizontally. step 3 Folding the corners. Fold the 2 corners to the center, And this is important, leave some space at the bottom, you'll need it. step 4 Almost there....Fold the two "flaps" at the bottom. step 5 Trick it out! Add some cool designs. step 6 Enjoy! Now be cool in your awesomely simple paper hat! How to Make a Paper Hat
