EDL 605 Advanced Curriculum
This course engages prospective administrators in investigating and applying theories, concepts, and principles of K-12 curriculum design that emphasize the development of K-12 students' conceptual understandings and their capacity to transfer learning to solve novel and not-yet-known problems and questions. Aspiring school leaders will extend their understanding and analysis of curriculum through application of a systems approach that focuses on processes to ensure relevant, equitable, authentic, and future-focused educational and learning opportunities. Critically, future leaders will apply learning to transform mission, vision, and intentions and aspirations to standards-aligned purposeful actions, while inclusively engaging stakeholders in dialogue about curriculum, teaching and learning, and reporting. Online/technological/digital advances in curriculum will be explored.
