Islam is the religion of victors and one day, God willing Islam will rule the world is their belief. This is what leads Sheikh Abdul Settar Jabber head of the Muslim Awareness Association; a leading Sunni group to feel that the entire role of the schools should be changed to one that trains students in Islamic law and in how to be good Muslims. (a new history of Iraq) This is the psychological reaction of a child which when frightened hides near its mother and in this case is hiding within its language. The curriculum of Arabs has to reflect what their culture tells them, and religion is a very important part of their culture along with their language.
4. Future for Curriculum Expansion:
Any effort at this is like looking into the future and these predictions cannot be proven on the basis of existing knowledge, or scientifically. The movement of curriculum expansion in America is quite clear. The situation today is that hundreds of community colleges, four-year universities and post graduate programs are now offering different level qualifications and certificates in emergency preparedness, counter-terrorism and security. The main courses of the students may be from political science or psychology or engineering or biotechnology, but they are all preparing for disasters that may happen. The interests in these subjects have certainly jumped up after the attacks of 9/11, but there had been preparations for a long time. One of the programs that are being promoted by the Department of Homeland Security is an 18-month, highly selective professional...
Here an education is being given to emergency management and public safety officials of high rank about policy analysis, advanced strategy and information technology. (Colleges embrace homeland security curriculum) This is clearly a reaction against a threat that they feel could arise from attacks by fundamentalists. Keeping in view the recent London incidents, this view is not totally unreal.
It is clear that we are coming to a stage where one nation does not trust the other - Iraq and U.S.. Both are trying to be ready for a confrontation and preparing their population for that War. They are all going through educational programs which will make them psychologically comfortable.

Curriculum Change Plan Chart Subject Area Targeted: We are targeting Social Studies as a curriculum change. This change is designed to follow through the elementary levels through high school, to be integrated not just in a factual approach, but to reflect newer ideas surrounding critical thinking, vetting of sources, use of electronic data, and events that have occurred in the era of globalization. Specific to this is the issue surrounding globalization. We must,
History of Assessment/Testing in the United States Assessment practices in the United States are not something that started yesterday. Assessment and testing in the United States began many years ago and they have taken several transformations throughout time. For over a century use of standardized testing for the assessment of aptitudes and achievement has played a major role in shaping the educational thinking in America. Today such tests are quite common
The district must then serve as the interpreter of specific and global need for the district, based on its particular composition and the state where needed.

Give examples to illustrate the ways that each function can be implemented. (I do not
Curriculum Trends in the Next 10 Years For more than 20 years, curriculum and its accompanying emphasis on standards and accountability for learning have dominated the debate over improving education. Today, the controversy over how to provide equity in achieving the curriculum, how to achieve compatibility between equity and high standards, and what comprises a meaningful curriculum are increasingly commonplace and serve to focus attention on the performance and progress of
This, in a sense, will be a return to the original set-up of education in the United States. Originally, each school district was given the responsibility of implementing the needed educational reforms to meet their individual and unique needs. However, as the nation grew and became less and less agricultural based, the need for a national protocol became necessary. Yet, today our society is less similar than it was before.
Curriculum Development Application Integration of more interaction between students As an instructor in an equipment maintenance course there are several challenges that I face. One of the challenges is the interaction between the students in my class. There is a tendency in the class for minority students keeping to themselves during class. Female students are almost invisible in class and they rarely speak or interact with others in the class. This lack
