Curriculum
Development
(Continued from page 21)
How do we measure the
growth and developmental
progress of our children? We use
various methods of informal as
sessments and portfolios to help
the teachers gauge learning styles,
strengths and weaknesses of each
student. Portfolios are perform
ance based, and are an instruction-
ally appropriate method of
documenting and exhibiting stu
dent progress, achievement, and
development in one or more areas
over time. Our teachers can utilize
this tool to communicate student
progress to parents in an organ
ized manner touching on content
knowledge, skill, and overall de
velopment. When students are
involved in their portfolio devel
opment they are taking ownership
for their learning, reflection and
thinking.
As previously stated, the
process to create and implement a
meaningful curriculum begins
with theory, then planning, fol
lowed by implementing/execu
tion, and lastly assessment and
reflection. Curriculum is a piece
of what it takes to educate and
raise a child. Our parents, teachers
and members of our community
together provide our children with
opportunities to learn, grow, and
connect. ^
