Curriculum

Curriculum is similar to a blueprint for a construction of a home. It is a well written plan of what students are expected to know and be able to perform at the conclusion of the academic year. Each educational year, students are expected to know various subjects, facts, and/or methods; therefore, there is cohesiveness from one year to the next. Although teachers use different teaching styles, the subject should relatively stay the same when following a similar curriculum. I believe there needs to be many players involved when designing a curriculum. Teachers, parents, administrators, and the board of education should be involved at some level when developing a particular curriculum. In result, the responsibility of implementing a curriculum falls on the teacher's shoulder.
