share thoughts and ideas in real-time.

Instruct in real time: Create presentations that move at the modern
speed of learning. Use video, notation, and audio recording to bring your
instruction to life.
Students as teachers
Strengthen leadership and collaboration skills by giving students the tools
to create and share their own tutorials, animated stories, and
presentations.

3. Teaching that sticks.
• Make every activity compelling with easy-to-create videos and interactive
experiences. Start from a blank canvas or prepare materials in advance,
with the option to provide verbal or visual feedback and adjust content
on-the-fly.
• Explain Everything in action.
• See how others are using Explain Everything to create engaging learning
experiences.

4. • Whether you are a curriculum specialist, teacher in the classroom or an
educator at a non-traditional institution, it’s important to know the eight
most common types of curriculum and how they interact with one another.
• There is no single curriculum used in the United States. Instead, different
types of curriculum are layered together. Most people often assume that
curriculum refers to a simple and straightforward lesson plan or course
outline, but in reality, it is much more complicated and dynamic. Mastering
these complexities is critical for an educator who wants to make an impact
in students’ lives. Learn more about the eight types of curriculum below.
Written Curriculum
• A written curriculum is what is formally put down in writing and
documented for teaching. These materials can include an educator’s
instruction documents, films, text and other materials they need. These
materials come from the larger school district or the school itself. Often,
they contract or employ a curriculum specialist to develop a plan that
meets specific goals and objectives.

5. Supported Curriculum
• A supported curriculum involves the additional tools, resources and
learning experiences found in and outside a classroom. These include
textbooks, field trips, software and technology, in addition to other
innovative new techniques to engage students. Teachers and other
individuals involved with the course are also a component of the
supported curriculum.
Assessed Curriculum
• An assessed curriculum is also known as a tested curriculum. It refers
to quizzes, tests and other kinds of methods to measure students’
success. This can encompass a number of different assessment
techniques, including presentations, a portfolio, a demonstration as
well as state and federal standardized tests.

6. Taught Curriculum
• This type of curriculum refers to how teachers actually teach. This is a less predictable
and less standardized type of curriculum because how an educator delivers material can
vary from one to the next. It can also change based on the types of tools a teacher has at
their disposal. This can include experiments, demonstrations and other types of
engagement through group work and hands-on activities. Taught curriculum is extremely
critical for students in special education or those who require another kind of specialized
support.
Assessed Curriculum
• An assessed curriculum is also known as a tested curriculum. It refers to quizzes, tests
and other kinds of methods to measure students’ success. This can encompass a number
of different assessment techniques, including presentations, a portfolio, a demonstration
as well as state and federal standardized tests.
Recommended Curriculum
• This type of curriculum stems from what experts in education suggest. Recommended
curriculum can come from a variety of different sources, including nationally recognized
researchers, policy makers and legislators, and others. It focuses on the content, skill sets
and tools educators should prioritize in the classroom.

7. Hidden Curriculum
• A hidden curriculum is not planned, but it has a significant impact on what students learn.
This type of curriculum is not always communicated or formally written down and includes
implicit rules, unmentioned expectations, and the norms and values of a culture.
• A hidden curriculum is often challenging for students from different backgrounds or cultures,
who can struggle to adjust or feel negatively judged. A hidden curriculum can also be
influenced by how money, time and resources are allocated within a school or school district.
For example if students are taught French as part of their coursework, instead of Spanish or
Arabic, their takeaway may be that French is a more valuable language to learn.
Excluded Curriculum
• The excluded curriculum is also known as the null curriculum. It refers to what content is not
taught in a course. Often an educator or curriculum specialist believes that a certain skill or
concept is less important or does not need to be covered. Sometimes what is left out,
intentionally or unintentionally, can shape students as much as what is included. For
example, students might not be taught about an ongoing debate among experts in the field
or not encouraged to think critically about a text.

8. Learned Curriculum
• A learned curriculum refers to what students walk away with from a course. This
includes the subject matter and knowledge they learned from a course, but it can also
include additional changes in attitude and emotional wellbeing. Teachers need to shrink
the gap between what they expect students to learn and what students actually do
learn.
Mastering Curriculum and Instruction
• For an educator or someone involved with the field, it’s critical to understand how
these types of curriculum work together, complement each other and overlap. Blending
these approaches and adopting a wide range of tools, resources and kinds of
experiential learning is critical. This is especially true for teachers who want to better
reach more students in their classrooms.
• For example, on its own, the assessed curriculum can seem one-dimensional. However,
this is a critical layer to add to the written and taught curriculum because it evaluates
how successful those curriculums are. Without an assessed curriculum, a teacher might
not realize what concepts students are struggling with. In addition to giving teachers,
administrators and parents insights, it also lets the student understand how well they
are understanding what is being taught and how they are progressing and growing.
