Talk:Curriculum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- In K9, the curriculum's scope and sequence must be "mapped" against the scope and sequence of previous and subsequent years as well as against other subjects.
What on earth? I've worked in education fro a long time and this statement makes absolutely no sense to me? What is meant by K9 the rest of the statement is quite convoluted. --Brideshead 17:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not taking a position on whether this "must" be done, but just to clarify what somebody wrote there: By "K9" I expect they meant "Kindergarten through 9th grade," which would typically be about ages 5-14 in the United States. In the US system, often all the students in a school at each of these grade levels will be studying the same subjects, so "mapping" could be possible; after that (in "senior high school") diverse course schedules could make it unrealistic or unfeasible. The person who wrote about "mapping" here might have something more specific in mind; but in general it would mean coordinating what is studied with a plan that makes curriculum coherent across years and across different subjects. jawhitzn 19:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the information James, That makes much more sense. I question wether this is useful information in the article, wether it adds anything. Thanks --Brideshead 20:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also note, it was originally K12, usually expressed as "K-12", but changed to K9 in an edit rife with vandalism. --John Owens | (talk) 05:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bad intro
The start of this page should define curriculum or something. In normal English. Eg "A curriculum is...". Not some nonsensical thing that takes 10 minutes to decipher.
