ELP 681SEM - Curriculum and Instructional Leadership

ELP 681 is intended to provide a critical overview of current curriculum issues and prepare participants to assume an instructional leadership role in this area. Readings, oral and written presentations, guest speakers, and critical reflection activities will be used to develop understandings of learning theory, curriculum development, instructional strategies, and assessments. Class readings will provide various lenses through which to view the curriculum development process and class presentations will explore a wide range of curriculum “types”–each of which implies a different, often contradictory, way of viewing the purpose of education, the selection of content, and the teaching/learning process.
