Part III: Making Curricula and Performing Assessments

Curricula and assessments are the most important framework facilitate the class. The following are some of important insights to create curriculum:

1. John Goodlad's Five Levels of Curriculum

Making curriculum has several aspects to indicate what you, school or policy wants to do.

• Ideal Curriculum

This is the curriculum espoused by government agencies, the secretary of education and academic groups.

• Formal Curriculum

This curriculum is the ideal proposals that have been approved by governing/power broking groups such as school boards, and legislative bodies. Once the ideal curriculum is written down in syllabi, curriculum guides, and sanctioned texts it becomes a formal curriculum.

• Perceived Curriculum

This is the curriculum that teachers perceive was mandated by governing bodies.

• Operational Curriculum

This is what actually happens in classroom.

• Experimental Curriculum

This is the curriculum that students experience. This is the level at which students make meaning.

Most people seem to have a preconception that there is only one curriculum for a class, but one can create multiple time-dependent curricula. The instructor should be able to manage the above different curricula during a semester.
