GED 547 - Middle and Secondary Curriculum and Assessment

This course offers current and prospective middle and secondary educators the opportunity to increase their knowledge of content area curriculum and assessment design.  We will critically examine and apply curriculum theory, instructional and assessment strategies, content knowledge, and Vermont’s Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities while constructing lesson plans, assessment tasks and tools, 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 and assessment in fostering student learning and growth.
