Curriculum Terms and Concepts:

Now that you are getting some web design skills under your belt, we will begin to shift focus to curriculum development. We'll start with the Curriculum Terms and Concepts module.

Aim:

This module introduces WIT participants to the steps in curriculum development and supports them as they examine preexisting curriculum webs.

Rationale:

Planning is facilitated by a structure in which important issues are dealt with as a plan is developed. WIT provides this structure, through the elements of the teaching guide to the lesson or curriculum web. It is possible to treat the elements of the teaching guide as just a worksheet to be "filled in" so the instructor is happy. But we hope WIT participants will take the planning process seriously, treating it as a professional, rather than perfunctory, task. We hope that participants will be interested in why the elements are helpful, and that they will explore the optional resources provided, but we're "okay with it" if participants just follow the steps.
