Curriculum Theory in a Diverse Society

Catalog description

Curriculum Theory in a Diverse Society is designed to assist students in developing the knowledge, skills and dispositions concerning information about curriculum as it relates to theory, history, philosophy and contemporary issues within a broad educational context. The concept of the teacher as curricular-instructional gatekeeper will be evaluated within the context of five curricular frameworks. The course content will prepare students to understand multiple perspectives as they relate to theory and practice and as a result prepare students to make sound curricular decisions when teaching diverse student groups in middle and high school.
