What is Curriculum Improvement?
It is the process of constantly improving instruction based on the need of students. It enhances teaching and learning.
LEVELS OF CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT
1. Departmentalized
- This approach is the traditional model of separate and district disciplines taught in isolation from each other. Students travel to six or seven subjects a day, each not conceptually connected to others.
2. Reinforcement
- Skill instruction, concept or activities are rearranged and resequenced to reinforce a similar skill or concept across two or more disciplines
3. Complementary
- The level of curriculum integration on the original synthesized continuum was referred to as “complementary or shared units of the study”.
4. Webbed
- Connections and webs are made between curriculum contents and disciplines relative to a productive team, subject use them to sift out appropriate concept, topics and ideas
- Sometime called interdisciplinary units.
5. Integrated learning
- This level of curriculum integration on the original synthesized continuum was referred to as “integrated themes”
LEVEL DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Supra International -Common European Framework of Reference for Language usually “generic” in nature
- examination program; e.g. Third International Mathematics and science study of Programme for International student Assessment or Progress in International Reading Literacy study
Macro Provincial, national, regional -Intended core objective( specified in a curriculum framework and/or program of studies
- authorized learning and teaching resources
-attainment levels
-examination programs
Meso School jurisdiction, school -School program (locally developed courses)
-educational program with an emphasis on specialized school based activities( e.g, specific focus on arts, sports or academics)
- site specific learning and teaching materials developed and accessed.
Micro Classroom, teacher -instruction plan for module or course
-learning and teaching materials
Nano Student, individual -individualized learning plan
-individualized course of learning or learner pathways
APPROACHES TO CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT
1. Behavioral Approach
- This is based on the blueprint where goals and objective are specified contents and activities are also rearranged to match with the learning objectives. The learning outcome are evaluated in terms of goals and objectives set at the beginning. This approach started with the idea of Frederick Taylor which aimed to achieve efficiency

- In this approach, the principal is the curriculum leader who is supposed to be the general manager. The general manager sets the policies and priorities established th

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
