“Curriculum”

Curriculum is a set of rules and guidelines that is being implemented in the school.
It may include the subject and instruction for facilitating the learners. This
curriculum is anchored to the needs of the students. It helps the teaching to be
more meaningful because it considers the diversity of every individuals inside the
classroom wherein students can relate because it is based on the day-to-day
experiences of the learners.

“Ideal Curriculum”

1. Computer-Using Educators (CUE)

It is a nonprofit educational corporation founded in 1978. CUE's goal is to
inspire innovative learners in all disciplines.
CUE has a written strategic plan to “inspire innovative learners” and has
encouraged relationships between educators within various stages of their
careers. They work to engage educators as speakers, volunteers, attendees,
and leaders within its organization. A few goals include promoting educational
backing, thinking about the future, and supporting student success.
Conferences, professional development and providing connection to a
community are all good reasons to join this professional community.
Technology is growing faster than ever and some schools and classrooms are
promoting technology as a medium of learning. CUE transforms teaching by
connecting educators with ideas, resources, and each other to use technology
to prepare all students to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
2. American Federation of Teachers
Democracy and political activism is a major part of the American Federation
of Teachers, which was founded in Chicago in 1916. This professional
organization engages in collective bargaining and has professional interests in
mind when working for human and civil rights within schools. Historically, AFT
has led the way in educational reform and are dedicated to taking action.
3. Learning Forward is the national organization on professional development. It
has played a leading role in helping school districts develop better support for
teachers. In recent years it has offered support directly to professional
learning communities in schools.
4. National Science Teachers Association
This website contains a good deal of free content from the preeminent
association for science teachers.
The National Council for the Social Studies – Another K-12 organization. Its
journals, Social Education and Social Studies for the Young Learner are chock-
full of ideas, sources of materials, and information about contemporary topics.
Middle and High School teachers of any subject will find the ideas and
materials useful. Think about using the study of maps and globes to teach
algebra and the study of public utilities to teach chemistry, physics, and
biology. For many years, NCSS has worked to improve the quality and range of
tradebooks and multimedia resources for students.
5. BSCS — The Biological Curriculum Study provides curriculum development,
extensive professional development opportunities, and excellent networking
opportunities. This organization has had a major impact on research on science
teaching and curriculum. Its high standards and models of teaching improved
teaching and curriculum for decades before the CCSS were developed. In our
view, BSCS is always ahead of the curve.
