Sometimes we forget that teachers are quite human, too, and susceptible to all of the "loose screws," as Senge calls them, different modes of communication, different philosophies of life, and so on. As such, using the methodology of the Fifth Discipline will not only empower greater cooperation, but plant the seeds of innovation and appropriate evolution into the classroom experience.
Choose one or more of the article that synthesized your understanding of curriculum development. Provide a rational for your selection.
For my own style in the classroom, which tends to be more Socratic in nature, the article "Better Teaching with Deming and Bloom," (2004), provided a more robust and approachable synthesis of what is needed within the modern curriculum. Generally speaking, most instruction, according...
Instead, it is in the best interest of pedagogy and the student to teach higher levels of critical thinking so that it is less important that the right answer be regurgitated, and more important that a thinking and analytical process occur. Education is not just about memorization, it is about finding information, making judgments about that information, and then, using previous experience and knowledge, synthesizing that information into a new (at least for the learner) mode. If one cannot apply principles of mathematics, analyze what an author is saying, synthesize disparate information into a personal evaluation, then one is not well equipped to deal with the emerging global society and/or the tremendous amount of information one must digest in
Systems thinking is Senge's way of synthesizing the universe in a macro and micro manner in order to discipline the organization to build a more unique and shared value. It requires team learning, shared vision, mental paradigms, and the ability to think past the here and now, the individual, and project into what is best overall for the organization. Within the educational setting almost everyone agrees that the principle ethos is providing a high quality educational experience with expected mastery of certain core areas to all children regardless of race, age, diversity, or ability. For that to happen, however, teachers and administrators must work together to balance the curriculum, to find adequate means of instruction for diverse learners, and to remove their own ego from the mix as much as possible in order to establish a template for what is best for the students. Sometimes we forget that teachers are quite human, too, and susceptible to all of the "loose screws," as Senge calls them, different modes of communication, different philosophies of life, and so on.

Generally speaking, most instruction, according to the article, at the lowest level of cognition -- rote facts.

There is no right or wrong way in curriculum development from a constructivist approach because knowledge is individually constructed by the learner herself on the foundation of what she already knows, so therefore it is impossible to come up with uniform learning outcomes for all students. 4. Devise five to seven criteria for judging the articles. (for example, ease of reading, application to curriculum development, author proved main points, and
Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization The following will be a review of a book known as The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization by Peter M. Senge. It is a book that describes how a company can become successful by adapting learning organization practices. In the long run the book explains that one has to learn faster than the competition in order
organization "that is able to change its behaviors and mind-sets as a result of experience" is referred to as a learning organization (Milton-Kelly, n.d.). The concept of learning is, in reality, not as easy as it sounds, and organizations often find themselves having to grapple with the negative consequences of repetitive dysfunctional behaviors brought about by the refusal to accept and acknowledge certain truths (Milton-Kelly, n.d.). The tendency to
Leadership is defined as the procedures that individuals use as authority over others to achieve an objective. The action also provides direction in a manner that makes an organization more coherent and cohesive. Three-Skill Approach This approach refers to three skills including human, technical, and conceptual, which form the fundamental personal skills required in leadership. Technical skills involve proficiency in and knowledge about some defined activities or work. It includes analytical ability,
Management There are a number of different definitions of management. The dictionary definition from Google is "the process of dealing with or controlling things or people." The Merriam-Webster definition adds that the process must be done "with a degree of skill." Management, therefore, is a professional discipline, one that can be studied, theorized about, and for which techniques can be developed and studied. Management literature generally agrees with this core, but elaborates.
Indeed, effective problem solving in these circumstances often requires high levels of creative collaboration (Richards, 2007a, p. 34). In recognition of this reality, employers consistently name the ability to work together creatively as a primary and crucial skill -- even though many organizations have created cultures that undercut individual and collective creativity. In order to solve this problem there is a need of a comprehensive review of the facility management
