Ralph Tyler’s Basic Principles of Curriculum & Instruction
• What educational purposes are considered • What educational experiences are used to
attain these purposes • How these experiences are organized • How attainment of purposes is assessed

What is Curriculum? • “A curriculum reflects not only the nature of
knowledge itself but also the nature of the knower and the knowledge-getting process. It is an enterprise par excellence where the line between subject matter and methods grows necessarily indistinct…Knowledge is a process, not a product” (Bruner, 1966, p. 72)

experiences • Who is designing them and why/why not • Linearity vs. non-linearity of topics and experiences • Relevant resources (including textbooks) • Depth vs. breadth • Differentiation • Student experience of the curriculum • Curriculum enactment vs. implementation

As teachers, we are creators and bearers of meaning. Our work is to empower students to find their own personal meaning. But, we cannot do that year after year without attending to our own meaning-making and empowerment. –Frances Bolin
