Scenario for the Three Assignments

Assume that you are the curriculum designer for a school district. The school board has requested that several teams develop proposals for new curricula to meet newly established state standards. You and your team must develop the first proposal as a pilot or model for the other teams. You have to first identify a specific curriculum area not currently used in the school district that would greatly benefit the students in the district.

Use the Internet or the Strayer Library, as well as your textbook to develop a pilot curriculum for a specific discipline area such as reading, math, or science or grade level (K–12) at a local school district.

(a) Describe the specific curriculum area and grade level(s) for the pilot curriculum.
(b) Describe at least four core instructional goals for the curriculum.
(c) Review the various approaches to be used for the planned curriculum as well as potential cultural influences.
(d) Review the strategy for incorporating critical thinking skills into the planned curriculum using Bloom’s Taxonomy.
