Content CurriculumMichael S. Gullett

Notes

Entire program is Integrated Curriculum and Implementation of CTE Content/Curriculum with Core Content/Curriculum.

Specific Unit for Assignment 1 of CTE 655 Teacher In-Service prior to the Start of School 2 Day In-Service with Teachers and Principals at a

High School

Phase 1

The entire implementation process through the Understanding by Design Framework will be to answer the Five Essential Questions.

The Five Essential Questions addresses the Five Main Educational Topics in Educational Leadership.

The Five Essential Questions and the answers to these Questions will drive the Desired Result per unit of the Understanding by Design.

Phase 1

Each specific Question of the Five Essential Questions will drive a specific unit within the project of Integrated CTE Content/Curriculum and Core Content/Curriculum School Wide.

Understanding by Design will drive the development, creation, and framework of each unit.

The Understanding by Design is a Framework, and it will provide the process of Implementation.

Five Essential Questions

What do students need to know and do?  (Effective Curriculum)

How will they learn it?  (Effective Instruction) How will we know if they've learned it?  (Effective

Assessment) What will we do if they don't learn it?  (Effective

Interventions) What will we do if they already know it?  (Effective

Enrichment)

Unit 1 Notes

Frist Essential Question of the Five

What students need to know and do? Effective Curriculum

Due to this program training teachers we will keep this essential question, because it will drive the professional development training and implementation of Integrated Curriculum.

Student focus and the question being driven towards students is at the heart of the unit.

However, the First Unit focuses on Teachers, Implementation, and Integration of Curriculum.

Two Tracks: Effective Curriculum for Students and Effective Curriculum of Integration for Teachers to Implementation School Wide.

Unit 1: Effective Curriculum

Unit 1 Focus around Effective Curriculum of Integration

Our goal and objective is to focus on teacher training for the implementation of effective integrated curriculum

Therefore, Unit 1 is the development of Integrated, Innovative, Creative Curriculum that Aligns CTE with Core Content through Teacher Professional Development Training and Collaboration for the Purpose of Implementation.

Implementation of a school model-school wide: Integrated CTE Content/Curriculum with Core Content

A model of educational excellence and success

CTE and Core Content Class Integrate Curriculum

Teacher Collaboration, Training, and Implementation

Desired Results Understandings:

Teachers will understand that:

Through collaboration time and shared opportunities to work with other content areas that students will be exposed to the same content in more ways. More exposure means more ability to move from understanding to critical thinking.

Integration and Implementation is Organic and Natural.

Is model carried out and implemented through creative and innovative shared content can prepare students for career and college readiness.

Stage 1

Essential Questions What CTE and Core Content align? What CTE and Core Content

Curriculum concepts overlap? What type of curriculum overlaps

and aligns for different ways of learning and exposure for students?

How might creative and innovative instruction assist in implementing integrated curriculum?

Teachers Will Know How CTE and Core Content Align, Overlap,

and Naturally fit within both courses?

How to us collaboration time to work with another CTE or Content Teacher to develop integrated curriculum, innovative instruction, and implementation for more education exposure?

How to create a school wide vision of integration, and to utilize collaboration to develop creative, innovative, and meaningful integration and implementation of duel CTE and Core Content?
