Education is not the answer to the question.
Education is the means to the answer to all questions.

This ED 661 course will help us give the students a closer look at the vital role of curriculum development in teaching language to students of other languages.  In the world of education, any curriculum is dependent on the understanding of the teaching concepts, effective teaching, careful planning of instruction in order to meet the needs of the learners.   

 

 

An prime example would be at my school's recent parent's "Peek In" session with our first grade parents.  My first grade team of teachers explained to the parents that although the 1st grade teachers have the same curriculum and standards, our delivery of instruction will be differentiated and is the driving tool to meet the needs of the students of the class.  As effective teachers, we need to use a curriculum as tool to provide the support for the language skills of the English Language Learners.
