EDCL 5183 Curriculum and Instruction with Practicum 3 credits

This course is designed to develop teachers as instructional leaders in the planning, implementation and evaluation of school-wide curriculum and instructional initiatives. As teachers continue to expand their expertise beyond the classroom, new roles in teacher leadership have emerged specific to the monitoring and assessment of school-based instructional programs. Teachers function as members of leadership teams, chair data committees and coordinate school-wide teaching and learning activities. This course examines the concepts, theory, and practices in curriculum development and prepares teacher leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to research, refine, and implement curriculum and instructional practices that increase student achievement. The course includes a 12 hour field experience.
