Curriculum+Management+Course+Reflection

Curriculum Management was a class in which I was able to build on prior knowledge. Coming into the class as a teacher, I had an idea of what a proper curriculum entails. There must be a goal to whatever it is a school or rather a district wants its teachers to teach during instruction. Curriculum to me must be planned so that it prepares students for the world that they are in today and for the issues that they will face tomorrow. If curriculum isn't designed accordingly then it will be in my opinion, faulty and ineffective. As I went through this course I have learned that my ideals were founded and how important it was to develop a relevant and effective instructional program that is based on curriculum that has been approved by the state. I have learned the meaning of what curriculum truly is and how to maintain its relevancy. Curriculum is the guide that all educators must us as they develop instructional programs. These programs require solid resources if they are to be successful and must be dynamic enough to equip the students we teach with the knowledge that they need as they embark on their journey to find a place in society. As a teacher leader, it is my responsibility to make sure that resources are managed correctly and effcicently so that they aren’t only available to me today but also in the future as well. Teachers under my leadership must seek Professional Development programs that will teach them how to be not only teachers but informed, and effective teachers.
