An overview of the curriculum

If language is learned more easily and when it is integral and is their logical context, integration is a fundamental principle for the language development. In fact, development of language and content learning becomes a curriculum double. From the point, of view is curriculum students only focuses on what is learned and takes into account the objective tends to use of language. The teacher is always a twofold task: hand, provide greatest opportunities for students to facts involved in authentic speech and literacy, and the other community must investigate, study a literary theme, to conduct an empirical study on mice or with fractions and decimals familiarize. The teacher assesses both the cognitive and linguistic development.

The processes of speaking, listening, reading and writing take place in the context of explorations of the world: things, events, ideas and experiences. The content of the curriculum takes the interests and experiences children are out of school, and thus incorporate the full range of oral and written language functions. It becomes a curriculum broad and rich begins with the language and knowledge that students owns and builds on them. The goal is individual growth and achievement of acceptable levels. The masters of the "whole language" accept the differences between students. Linguistic processes are integrated: the children speak, listen, written or read according to their needs (Connolly, 1989).

The need for a Curriculum guide

Higher learning has taken on new importance in today's knowledge society. To succeed in the contemporary workplace, today's students must prepare for jobs that are rapidly changing, use technologies that are still emerging and work with colleagues from (and often in) all parts of the globe. The challenges that graduate face as citizens during their lives are similarly complex also are affected by developments around the world. Recognizing the economic and societal importance of higher levels of learning, national leaders, policymakers, analysts and leading philanthropies have called for a dramatic increase in the number of high-quality degrees awarded in the United States. The press toward helping many more students earn degrees has not been grounded in any consistent public understanding of what these degrees ought to mean.

Even as colleges and universities have defined their own expected student learning outcomes — typically to meet accreditation requirements — their discussions have been largely invisible to policy leaders, the public and many students. Similarly, while higher education institutions have been to be accountable for the quality of their degrees, institutions have often responded by testing samples of students in ways that say too little about learning and even less about what all students should attain as they progress through college (Connolly, 1989).

Use of the Curriculum guide over time should yield several positive results, including:

• A common vocabulary for sharing acceptable practice.

• A foundation for better public understanding of what institutions of higher education do.

• Reference points for accountability that are far stronger than test scores or ...
