1. A curriculum is a general term used to refer to a subject or discipline. It is also defined as the totality
of students experiences that occur in the educational process.

The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course
or program. In dictionaries, curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely
used in such a general sense in schools. Depending on how broadly educators define or employ the
term, curriculum typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which
includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons
that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos,
presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to
evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for example, would be the
specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular
course.

As we all know curriculum plays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. Its components are deemed
significant in maintaining the harmony of the educational system. While its types name the essential
foundation of learning.

2. Although all these types of curricula are important, for me curriculum leaders should focus on the
learned curriculum, emphasizing the importance of implementing the written curriculum and helping
teachers close the gap between the taught and the learned curricula.

Curriculum should deliver on what a learning community really needs to help and support its vision for
learning. While it’s often in the hands of teachers, it should drive learning in the hands of students, as
well. It should be transparent and accessible to all. Curriculum should still ensure that you’re meeting
the unique learning styles of every child. Curriculum should empower and motivate learners to acquire
knowledge in ways that are meaningful for them, and it should provide educators a framework for what
the outcomes are and how they can be met by every child, honoring their learning style and the pace at
which they learn. However, everybody should do his or her part with regard to students' development.
No matter how much we want to connect with the curriculum, if a student doesn't want to learn, it's not
going to work.

4. Yes because all curriculums share one goal: to help students learn. No matter what country or district
your school is in, student outcomes start with a solid plan. But a curriculum does much, much more than
guide lessons in math, reading and history. It can benefit schools just as much as students, from
teachers to administration. And it can help schools connect with parents and the community around
them. The goals for each subject area aren't just for students — they're also for teachers. ... Beyond
creating shared goals between teachers and students, curriculum also standardizes the learning goals
for an entire school and provides a clear path for students to progress from one grade to another.

Not just any curriculum, though. A good curriculum. Curriculum Conception can be used to look at a
curriculum through various viewpoints. It's simply a way to see how a curriculum is defined. When
you're looking at a curriculum is it focusing on social and culture needs, the individuals needs or subject
matter, Curriculum Conception aims or goals relate to educational aims and philosophy.

5. It gives teachers tangible resources and goals, stimulates creativity, and enables self-reflection. And,
most importantly, documenting curriculum improves student outcomes. While the pitfalls are
numerous. The main one that springs to mind, of course, is that not everyone is the same. A curriculum
that is that widespread means that it’s essentially public school standards on a macro scale. Even
disregarding the fact that even on that relatively small level, students still fall through the cracks
because the way it’s being taught doesn’t work for them. So when you expand the curriculum, it
becomes exponentially more inflexible. That’s a problem.

Similarly, not every school is the same. Also, not every place is the same. Finding ways to engage the
students in learning is important. Those ways vary massively from school to school, and student to
student. Similarly, if they were learning about, They could be taught in different ways, relating to their
specific areas.
