GED 547 - Middle and Secondary Curriculum Planning

This course offers current and prospective middle and secondary educators the opportunity to increase their knowledge of content area curriculum design.  We will critically examine and apply learning theory, instructional strategies, content knowledge, and Vermont’s Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities while constructing lesson plans and content area units.  Together, in an interactive learning environment emphasizing reflective thinking, writing, dialogue, and collaboration, we will explore the integral role of curriculum in fostering student learning and growth.
