Curriculum
A. Standards: They will be able to define curriculum, list the four different types of curriculum, what
they mean and give an example of each.
Learner Development- The teacher understands how learners grow and develop,
recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across
the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas, and designs and implements
developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences.
Instructional Strategies-The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional
strategies to encourage learners to develop deep understanding of content areas and their
connections,
and to build skills to apply knowledge in meaningful ways.
1. Objectives Students will be able to define what Curriculum means. Students will be able to
describe the four types of curriculum. Students will also be able to give examples of the four types
of curriculum.
We will be using visual learning styles by viewing the teacher and the power point, we will also be
using aural learning style because we will be listen to the teacher and the power point, we will be
using verbal learning because I will be asking questions and students will be answering them, we
will be using solitary learning style because each student will be answering a worksheet on their
own we will be using physical learning still because they will be feeling out a work sheet.

Example 1: I was in your 10 English class. I sure felt safe to take a
risk in your class. I actually tried hard, knowing I might fail, but

Example 3: The teacher just put [material] on the board and if you
don’t know how, the teacher get angry. I try to get help but when I
come after school, they gotta go somewhere and can’t help…like
when I ask somebody to help me, just because some other kid
won’t need help, then they think others won’t either; some kids are
smarter. (Wilson & Corbett, 2001, p. 38)
