EDUC 7735 Advanced Curriculum/Interdisciplinary Instruction
Analysis and assessment of principles for planning educational programs and curriculum activities for education with an emphasis on organization, selection, presentation, evaluation, and implementation of interdisciplinary instruction through lesson and unit planning.
The purpose of this course is to provide graduate candidates with the knowledge and skills necessary to make meaningful and effective curriculum decisions. Discussions will explore curriculum problems and issues, some of which may be solved by educational restructuring. Candidates will apply theory to practice as they explore curriculum choices available in public schools. This course will focus, in part, on the skills of critical thinking and creativity, the inclusion of a multicultural/global perspective, and the use of technology in teaching.
