This document summarizes four educational philosophies - perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, and reconstructivism - and how they influence curriculum development. It describes the key aspects of each philosophy, including their aims of education, the role of teachers, curriculum focus, and trends. Additionally, it discusses how theories from philosophers like Piaget, Vygotsky, and influences from Reggio Emilia shape the curriculum at a child development center to be developmentally appropriate, child-centered, and focused on active learning through exploration and social interaction. Philosophy guides the overall goals and approaches to education, while curriculum implements these philosophically-driven ideas into specific learning experiences.

Implementing Developmentally Appropriate Learning Experiences for Secondary S...iosrjce
Teacher preparation emphasizes application of foundational issues anchored in psychological,
sociological and philosophical underpinnings. With such knowledge, teachers are expected to effectively
organise the learning experiences of children accordingly. This study, therefore, sought to find out to what
extend in-service teachers were able to organise learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate.
The mixed methods approach guided this study, as it was informed by both the positivist and interpretivist
paradigms which acted as lenses through which we viewed this study. Questionnaires, interviews and class
observations were the methods used as data collecting tools. Twenty participants (13 females, 7 males), were
purposively selected from Gweru urban secondary schools of Zimbabwe. It was noted that teachers are not able
to implement Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) for various reasons ranging from heavy teaching
loads, big classes, low teaching motivation, inadequate DAP knowledge among others. In the midst of other
recommendations, it was highlighted that parents were to meaningfully interact with schools to bridge the gap
between the home and the school, notwithstanding challenges facing the teacher which require the urgency
which cannot be gainsaid.
The content in the slide mainly focuses on what a curriculum is
and the development of the curriculum. it will help you to gain a better understanding of the curriculum development.

2.1 DEVELOPING A STATEMENT OF YOUR PROGRAM’S CORE VALUES
The core values of a program of early care and education express the foundational, essential beliefs thatguide every aspect of its operation. They should reflect the knowledge base, history, and traditions thathave shaped the field of early childhood education as well as the philosophy of teaching and learningand beliefs about the purposes of education embraced by the program’s sponsor, leadership, and staff.They must also respond to the needs and values of the community that the program serves.Core Values of Early Childhood Education
The process of developing a statement of the program’s core values begins by considering theprofessional core values of the field of early childhood education that are part of the National Associationfor the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct (NAEYC, 2011). They provide afoundation for the commitments all early childhood educators make to the children and families theyserve, to each other, and to their communities:
· Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle
· Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn
· Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family
· Recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture,1community, and society
· Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague)
· Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues
· Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships thatare based on trust and respect.
A center working to identify the particular core values upon which its programming is based shouldbegin by affirming its commitment to these core values. It may then, after careful consideration, decide ifit is appropriate to add to, expand upon, or elaborate on them to reflect their particular center’sphilosophy of teaching and learning, their views about the purposes of education, and the needs andvalues of their community.Theories of Teaching and Learning
A center’s approach to teaching and learning is based on theories of child development. This knowledgebase guides teachers’ day-to-day interactions with children, families, and colleagues; its curriculum; andeach classroom’s layout, daily schedule, materials, and equipment.
While not all early childhood educators agree about which theories are most accurate, the field is unifiedin its belief, as expressed in the core values in the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct that teachers of youngchildren must be familiar with theories of child development and must understand how these theoriesinform their work.A Brief Review of Developmental Theories That Have Influenced Early Childhood Education

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

6. How does philosophy influence curriculum
Philosophy
"It is important that we learn, because we learn things and it makes us know a lot.
It is good to know things because people are counting on us.”
~ child, 4 years
The overarching philosophy of the Mentor Graphics Child Development Center is to provide a developmentally
appropriate program for young children that fosters the development of emotionally healthy children and
stimulates children’s natural interest in, and enjoyment of, learning. Our program philosophy and practice has
roots in a social constructivist theory of learning.
Our broad, long-term program goals include helping children:
• To become creative, independent thinkers
• To feel competent and productive, with good self-esteem and a sense of self-worth
• To develop a sense of responsibility for their own mental and physical health
• To understand that they are a part of a diverse, multicultural global community and that their actions
influence the quality of that community
• To recognize the riches human differences bring to our world
• To understand the various kinds of intelligences – linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, physical, spatial
and personal -- that are valuable and important to our communities
• To develop higher moral reasoning and to develop into adults with an internalized code of ethics and
principles
7. How does philosophy influence curriculum
Curriculum
“All children have preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their learning;
negotiating with everything their environment brings to them.”
~Lella Gandini
The curriculum in each classroom is negotiated as a conversation between children, teachers, and parents
and is further supported by the design of the environment. There have been many theoretical influences on
our curriculum work that have helped us to continue to learn and develop best practice.
Some of the best known contributors to our work are Piaget, Vygotsky, Magda Gerber’s RIE philosophy and the
municipal preschools and infant-toddler centers of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Piaget’s work reminds us that open
ended activities and questions support the cognitive development of children because they ask the child to
do their own thinking. Through this type of learning teachers support inquiry and finding out what the
possibilities are in any given experience rather than strictly teaching correct or incorrect fact based
information. Vygotsky’s theories support teachers being keen observers so that they can provide supportive
information to help children to get to the next step in their learning process. Vygotsky referred to this
support as “scaffolding”. His work contributed to an increased understanding in field about how social and
cognitive growth influence one another.
8. How does philosophy influence curriculum
Our work is strongly influenced by our developing understandings of the municipal preschools in
Reggio Emilia, Italy. The infant/toddler and preschool programs of Reggio have been hailed as
exemplary models of early childhood education (Newsweek, 1991). The Reggio Emilia approach
to education is committed to the creation of conditions for learning that will enhance and
facilitate children's construction of "his or her own powers of thinking through the synthesis of
all the expressive, communicative and cognitive languages" (Edwards and Forman, 1993). As a
Center staff, we continuously research the ideas about excellence in education for young
children that the schools in Reggio offer to improve our practices within the classroom.
In the CDC infant and toddler rooms, our methods of care giving are strongly impacted by the
RIE philosophy. RIE stands for Resources for Infant Educators. As taught by RIE founder
Magda Gerber, this approach models and promotes mutually respectful relationships between
infants and their caregivers. Infants and Toddlers are seen as unique individuals with a
surprising capacity to participate in relationships and in their own learning.
To offer an overview of the RIE Philosophy the cornerstones of the practice are:
• Respecting the child
• Fostering his/her independence
• Allowing for natural gross motor development
• Developing a reciprocal trusting relationship
9. How does philosophy influence curriculum
In summary curriculum is a plan for learning that is:
• Developmentally and individually based
• Concerned with process, and having the child be an active participant in learning- a constructivist approach
supported by Jean Piaget’s theories
• Sensitive to the child, each child's ability to set his/her own learning pace
• Based on the child’s interests and abilities
• Designed to help the child solve problems, question, experiment and hypothesize- based on Vygotsky’s work that
demonstrates the importance of a social community
• Culturally relevant to children and their families
Philosophical bases of curriculum: Philosophy is the end and education is the means to achieve that end. Philosophy
determines the goal of life and education tries to achieve the goal Curriculum is positively correlated with the needs
and requirements of the society. The contents of curriculum change to suit the prevalent ideologies and social ways of
thinking Philosophy provides curriculum specialists with a framework for broad issues and tasks, in general what
experiences and activities to stress in schools and classrooms. Relationship between Education and Philosophy in the
modern world. The basic relationship between philosophy and education. It is philosophy, that provides the purpose or
the aim and it is education which makes it practical. Philosophy shows the way and education moves on in that
direction. Education is the modification of behavior, the direction in which, modification to be carried out is
determined by philosophy. Education is a laboratory where philosophic theories and speculations are tested and made
concrete. Education may, therefore, be rightly called applied philosophy. Philosophy is wisdom; education transmits
that wisdom from one generation to the other. Philosophy is in reality the theory of education. Philosophy formulates
the method, education its process.
