  • The Neighborhood School Curriculum Outline
    The Neighborhood School Curriculum Outline 2008-2009 Curriculum is at the heart of our school. It is born of the interests and developmental capacity of the children and the goals and knowledge of the teachers. We understand that children are learning to make sense of the world. They need to be equipped to live in the world. We work with each child to further that child’s academic and social development. The curriculum provides opportunities for children to find new areas of interest and strength as they grow, to present their ideas and be well spoken and self assured in public presentations. Children develop a sense of responsibility towards the community through their group work, as well as towards their own individual learning. We provide children with work that is real. We look at what real writers do, what good readers to in order to build curriculum that is important and relevant to the lives of the children. We teach children to be researchers from pre- kindergarten up through 5th grade and to reflect on their experiences to ask questions and learn. We assess children through looking at collections of their work, through observing them work and participate in class activities, by keeping notes on their progress and through conferencing with them about their work. Every spring, each grade level and the administration meet to decide the curriculum for the following year. Our mixed age classes are on a two year cycle of curriculum, to match the two years the children are in the classes. We choose topics and areas of study that are important and worthwhile, that spark the ideas of children, that provide a platform for later learning.

  • Chapter 4: Putting It Into Practice: Curriculum and Pedagogy
    3XWWLQJLWLQWRSUDFWLFH 4 &XUULFXOXPDQGSHGDJRJ\ 4.1 Curriculum, from the Latin for ‘course’, is the content or subject matter that is taught. Pedagogy, from the Greek words for ‘boy’ and ‘guide’, refers to the art or science of teaching or the techniques used to teach students. The notion of a teacher guiding students through a course of study has more contemporary relevance than the content driven, ‘drill and skill’, approaches that characterised schooling until the last few decades of the 1900s. 4.2 Good teachers have always, through sound and supportive teacher/student relationships, guided students through what they need and want to learn. This chapter considers the importance of relevant curricula and engaging pedagogy in promoting learning as well as the methods used to assess student achievement. Curriculum and pedagogy 4.3 If the definitions of curriculum and pedagogy are clear, the separation of the two in classrooms is not. While the curriculum is the content that education departments mandate must be taught, classroom teachers have significant responsibility for, and control over, how the curriculum is presented and delivered. In practice, an inspired and talented teacher can energise dull content and find ways to link it to real life while a mediocre or unmotivated teacher can compromise the appeal of the most relevant and imaginative curriculum by poor delivery. 4.4 The research at Flinders University by Slade and Trent indicates that boys are aware of and reactive to what they view to be irrelevant curriculum and poor teaching. Boys see curriculum and pedagogy as inseparable from each other and from other aspects of schooling.

  • Middle School Curriculum Guide 2017-2018
    MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM GUIDE 2017-2018 As a member of the Princeton Day School community, I will pursue excellence in scholarship and character. I will try to be trustworthy, kind, honest, and fair; give my best in and out of the classroom and on the playing field; be respectful of myself, of property, and of all members of our community; take responsibility for my actions; maintain a sense of humor. Welcome to the Middle School at Princeton Day School, a lively and engaging place for students in grades 5 through 8. Our goal is to create a culture where students feel safe, valued, celebrated and known. The quote above is on a plaque in the Middle School, and it truly captures what we strive for here at Princeton Day School. In the Middle School at PDS, we encourage our students to be involved in activities both in and out of the classroom. We encourage them to take risks and value their own voice in the classroom. We believe in giving students opportunities to make mistakes, and then learn from them in a caring and supportive environment. In addition, we place great emphasis on keeping a growth mindset. We want students to view effort as the key to success; to keep focused on continued—life-long—growth; and to keep trying even though they may experience setbacks. Class sizes are kept small, and teachers, students, and parents work very closely together. Dedicated and talented faculty foster clear, thoughtful communication between home and school, forming a partnership that values educational excellence. At Princeton Day School, we teach skills and knowledge, but also, more critically, we teach our students how to think and learn.

Our dual mission is to: Build exceptional, world-class public schools that prove children from all backgrounds can succeed in college and life; and advocate to change public policies that prevent so many children from having access to educational excellence and opportunity. School Design At Success Academy, we constantly ask ourselves: “Would our scholars choose to come to school, even if they didn’t have to?” The answer — a resounding “Yes!” — results from setting the bar high while providing endless opportunities for scholars to explore, engage, and laugh in our classrooms. From elementary school through high school, we commit ourselves to the long-term development of our scholars, supporting their ultimate success in college and in life. We tailor our engaging and rigorous approach to meet the specific needs of elementary, middle, and high school, teaching the core knowledge, critical thinking, independence, and self-advocacy skills that are essential for scholars to excel. 2 Elementary School Curriculum We designed our elementary school curriculum to help children fall in love with learning through reading voluminously, solving complex math problems, and engaging in scientific inquiry.

  • Problem-Based Learning Pedagogies: Psychological Processes and Enhancement of Intelligences
    APERA Conference 2006 28 – 30 November 2006 Hong Kong Problem-based learning pedagogies: Psychological processes and enhancement of intelligences TAN, Oon-Seng National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Introduction: Some Reflections on “Problems” Since ancient times whether it be Greek civilisation during the time of Aristotle (1926), Roman civilization during the time of Cicero (1942) or Chinese civilization in the period of the 100 schools (Loewe & Shaughnessy, 1999), there was recognition of some sort that good teaching and helping people to learn involves the employment of a spectrum of rhetoric and pictorial representation of scenarios. Art, music, role play, parables, real and fictitious stories and the use of problem scenarios were often employed. Fast forward to today. We see problems as really problematic today. Some things are implicit when we talk about a problem: (1) we recognize that there is a problem, (2) we do not know how to resolve the problem, (3) we want to resolve it, and (4) we perceive that we are able to find a solution. Examples of the types of problem triggers and stimuli include the following (Tan, 2003): (i) failure to perform, (ii) situations in need of immediate attention or improvement, (iii) finding better and new ways to do things, (iv) unexplained phenomena or observations (v) gaps in information and knowledge, (v) decision-making problems, (vi) need for new designs or inventions. The 21st century calls for the increasing ability to cope with change and to adapt. The problems confronting the world and individuals will come with increasing rapidity, complexity and diversity.

Ph.D. Department of Educational Psychology, Faculty of Education, University of Buea, Cameroon Research Consultant: Foundation of Scientific Research, Community Based Rehabilitation and Advocacy on Inclusive Education‖ (FORCAIE-Cameroon) [email protected] Abstract: This quasi-experimental study focused on the pedagogical knowledge base of teachers that promotes inclusive practices in ordinary schools in Buea Sub-Division of the South West Region of Cameroon. The study was based on the framework that teacher quality is an important factor in determining gains in learner achievement in inclusive settings, even after accounting for prior learner learning and family background characteristics. Theoretically, the present study was based on six theories: Bloom’s 1956 Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, B.F. Skinner’s 1938 Theory of Operant Conditioning, Jerome Bruner’s 1966 Theory of Instruction, Bernstein’s 1990 Theory of Pedagogic Discourse, Lee Shulman’s 1987 Theory of Pedagogical Reasoning and Action and The theory of planned behavior (TPB), outlined by Icek Ajzen in 1988.The sample of this study consisted of two ordinary primary schools and forty (40) ordinary primary school teachers selected from Government Practicing Primary School Buea Town (20) and Kingston Memorial Nursery and Primary Bilingual School Buea (20).
