Students are given the opportunity to explore a variety of tradition with their own families as well as their local and global communities. The social studies program enables students to develop “an understanding of how these traditions contribute to and enrich their own community and Canadian society.”…

Sanders, D, P. & Mccutcheon, G. (1986). Journal of Curriculum and Supervision. The Development of Practical Theories of Teaching, 2(1), 50-67. This journal suggests ways for turning practical knowledge into usable forms into teaching, and how it might be enhanced to develop learning, rather than being simply theoretical knowledge. Sanders and McCutcheon (1986) says “Unavoidably teaching is active, intentional value-laden work. It is demanding physically, emotionally and mentally.” The authors…

Heart of Darkness is a book that should still be taught in the 2017 curriculum. I say this because the book has racist tendencies, but these stem from ignorance rather than pure racism. In Heart of Darkness, Marlow talks about and interacts with the African with such animalistic terms, because he was never exposed to their actual culture and doesn’t know any better. This is a significant point in the way that in current events, because racism is still a prevalent problem in our society because…

Both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian curriculum emphasise the importance of children’s learning and note some specific outcomes for mathematics learning. Each document represents a different focus on a specific part of learning. The EYLF reflects a holistic approach to the children’s learning and development, embedded within play- based environments, and has broad learning outcomes. While the Australian Curriculum focused on the content and the proficiency strands, with…

The challenges are associated with educational reform desired at…

Common Core “Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state.” (Adolf Hitler) Common Core States Standard Initiative is a nationally known program created to set standards for the education systems. It is evident that the United States needs a solution to the education decline, but is Common Core that solution? Do the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or vice versa? These debated questions have been flaring up across the country. Looking deeper into Common Core, one must investigate…

In response to the article in The Advertiser (7/8/13) on sport in schools, I would like to say how disgusted I am that the new National Curriculum for schools will not include sport as a compulsory subject for all students. As being a student who loves sports and knows the influence it can have, I believe that if it is not in the National Curriculum students can become obese or overweight, can get stressed, and it doesn’t give students a chance to interact with one another. Firstly, students…

t begins with the knowledge that the CST standardized test stopped in 2013, and has since been replaced with a Core Curriculum Standards based assessment by Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium; in acronym's form SBAC, and for a modified version the CMA, and California Alternative Assessment (CAA), instead of CAPA.
