Curriculum design and development seeks to develop educational content, experiences, and environments that meet the schools’ objectives, goals, and standards. Read the case study, Therese Carmen. Reflect on the following questions: What responsibility does Therese have with her lessons not running smoothly? Give specific examples. Why do you think she blames the curriculum? Why do you think the other teachers were quiet to Therese’s concerns/complaints during their grade level meeting? Do you think Marie Sharp gave Therese good advice? What type of lesson do you think Therese will teach when her principal comes to observe her? You are to write a 2 page critical application paper that focuses on your role as a curriculum designer and developer. Pretend you are the new science coordinator, Carol Miller. You observed Therese, and she was not teaching the science curriculum. How would you respond? Therese also shared her concerns with the curriculum with you. Knowing that you designed and developed the curriculum, how would you respond? I have also included some pictures from the text to reflect on the case study.
