Effective Education: Curriculum Development vs. Instructional Strategies
When comes to teaching students effectively, both curriculum development and instructional strategies are very important. Without curriculum development, students would not learn new skills and ideas that keep up with technology and other issues that continue to change as the world evolves. Without these new skills and ideas, students would not be ready to move out of the school environment and into a work environment where they can be useful and productive.
Without proper instructional strategies, students would not get the full benefit of the curriculum being offered. Students must be able to learn at their own pace and discover new thoughts and ideas in relation to the curriculum that they are being taught. A teacher who has good instructional strategies for helping students learn can teach every student what they need to know,...
This is because any curriculum, no matter how well developed and up-to-date it is, will not be any good to students if the teacher is not able to get the information across to them properly. This is where instructional strategies come in. The teacher must be good at instructing students, and must have several different strategies in place to help the students that need it most. Without proper instruction, many students would fail, even if the curriculum that they were being taught was very advanced.
Many schools are trying a comprehensive approach to teaching, which works on both curriculum development and instructional strategies (Ogbu, 1992). This is a good idea because both areas of effective teaching are being worked on together. However, it is important to make sure that not all of the emphasis is put on the curriculum alone. The best curriculum in the world will not endure over poor teaching skills and an inability on the teacher's part to get to the information across to the students.
Another reason that instructional strategies are so important is because they must change based on the demographics, background, and…
Curriculum and Instructional Leadership: A commitment to life-long and self-directed learning is essential for effective learning-centered curriculum and instructional leaders. These leaders need to have a deeper understanding of the way students learn and their level of learning. In most cases, effective instructional leaders are extremely committed and involved in both curricular and instructional issues that have a direct impact on student accomplishment ("What is Instructional Leadership?" 2005). Currently, efficient school
Teachers will need professional development to integrate curricula with technology. Strudler (1994, cited in Professional development overview) suggested the need for a technology coordinator who can serve as a mentor or "translator" of technology applications and instructional integration for teachers. Teachers who engage in collaborative planning and sharing of instructional strategies with other teachers most frequently demonstrate effective use of computers in the classroom (Becker & Riel, 2000, cited
Professional Development Seminar Curriculum development as an industry consists of curriculum concept, development, application (that is, direction), and assessment. Conventional, conceptual-empiricist, and reconceptualise are theoretical structures that regulate particular strategies to curriculum problems. Each of these structures can be distinguished by the dominant and subordinate presumptions that regulate the understanding and values which underscore their particular modes of questions. In this paper, we will construct content for professional development seminar where

Introduction An educational institution’s curriculum comprises every experience encountered by a pupil under the institution’s direction. All academic systems’ curricula are designed based on societal needs. Thus, owing to society’s dynamic nature, curricula are dynamic as well; educational institutions normally alter their curricula every once in a while. In this paper, the process of math and English as a Second Language (ESL) curriculum development will be addressed, with the following curricular
curriculum is one of the hardest tasks that educators are faced with. This is because it must be made in a manner that is accommodative of all students. Due to the swift change of events and ways of living in our contemporary society, it becomes mandatory for adults to be taught using a variety of methods and styles. Such a change would be mandatory so as to ensure that the
