All assignments need to demonstrate your understanding of the readings and videos in
this course. If you use outside materials or try and research the content on the web, your assignment will not be accepted and will not be able to be re-submitted. Do not look up course terms on the web. Make real connections between the texts and videos to your writing, and if you use direct quotes, use quotation marks and keep the quotes short (no more than 20 words that you then explain in
your own words). Your work
must reflect course concepts as they are taught through the content guides, texts, articles, and videos. For this written assignment, you will have read two chapters by
Picower (2021),
Estes & Mintz (2016), and Simpson & Jackson (2003) and watched the following videos:
·
Wayne Au on High Stakes Testing (2015)
(31 min)
·
HumberEDU (2017) The Hidden Curriculum, Part 1 of 2: Norms, Values and Procedures
(3.5 min)
·
Humber EDU (2017) The Hidden Curriculum, Part 2 of 2: Sociological Perspectives
(4.5 min)
Please reflect on the readings, and the course introduction video as a whole and consider these questions (always include a brief introduction of 3-4 sentences and a conclusion of 3-4 sentences):
·
Introduction – 3-5 sentences introducing the content of your paper (introductions ‘announce’ what the paper will be about)
·
Reflection:
· What stood out to you? (you are expected to name and cite all readings and videos)
· Reflect here as well, your thoughts on Picower’s chapters in particular.
·
Curriculum and Learning (all questions here will cite course texts and readings)
:
· What did you learn and/or confirm about curriculum and learning?
· How was curriculum defined and what were the issues with curriculum according to your readings and video?
· According to the readings and video, who benefits from the typical curriculum in schools today?
·
High Stakes Testing:
· How has high stakes testing impacted curriculum and what is the hidden curriculum? (You are expected to cite the Au video and the HumberEDU videos)
·
Incorporation
· Of the terms listed in the discussion (racial literacy, culturally responsive pedagogy, culturally sustaining pedagogy, critical literacy theory, project based learning), answer the following:
· which ones would you like to know more about?
· which do you think you could implement the easiest?
· what does a classroom and the instruction within it, look like with a teacher who believes in these concepts?
·
Conclusion: 3-5 sentences summarizing the information your paper presented (different points than the introduction – the conclusion draws your reader’s attention to the things learned from one having read your paper)
