Week 2- Incorporating Curriculum in the Classroom

As you complete the assigned readings for the first section of the course (Weeks 1 and 2), you have become familiar with teachers and learners in PK-12 classrooms.

For this week’s assignment, select a content area that you are interested in and with which you are familiar. Imagine that after completing your doctoral degree, you have become a consultant for a school district. New teachers in the content area you selected need advice regarding best teaching practices for the unique learners in their classrooms. They have to write and implement curriculum in their classrooms and need your guidance.

You are having your first meeting with the new teachers and need to prepare a presentation. Be sure to address the following in your presentation:

1. Describe your chosen content area, grade range, and background on student learning needs for which the teachers are writing their curriculum
2. How will you use homework to help support and deliver the curriculum?
3. How will you differentiate instruction?
4. How will you address different learning styles?
5. Include any additional information you deem relevant to the presentation.

For your presentation, you can use PowerPoint or Prezi.

If your presentation is audio-based and there are no notes slides, include a document which includes all of your speaking points and content. Tip: Think of the presentation as something you are physically presenting to a group.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes are comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Length: 7-10 slides (with a separate reference slide)

References: Support your presentation with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
