Curriculum Class Essay
Overview:
Curriculum Class Essay. This essay should relate to the following essential questions: What are the historical foundations of the four primary philosophies? What evidence of these historical foundations can be found incurrent education policy and practice? The focus of this essay is up to you, but your analysis should be academic and reflect reaching new understandings, NOT summarize the readings.
It should contain your reactions, analyses, connections you see between the readings, or questions and contradictions/problems that arise for you. Responses should illustrate your evolving thinking about the topic, and, as the semester progresses, provide evidence of reflection and integration of ideas addressed in the class working towards the 3 overarching course goals. The response should be academic in nature but the format in which you communicate your analysis is up to you. You may present your analysis in writing (written responses should be 750-1,000 words).
In your analysis, you must reference at least 2 citations from the course syllabus (readings attached) and find at least 1 additional reference that connects this topic to your personal practice (e.g. grade level or discipline taught.) I am a middle school math teacher currently and have taught middle school science in the past.
APA style for references and in-text citation
Answers with the course’s readings and at least wo scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. Sources ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite them in-line. Also, only use sources within the five-year range.
