Connections Between Curriculum Design and Student Learning 


 * The connection between curriculum design and student learning seems to be clear. By focusing on the basic elements of curriculum design (content, skills, and assessments) we can increase student learning. If we are designing lessons that specifically meet all three elements of curriculum and are practicing differentiating instruction, in order to best meet the needs of all learners, we will be successful. By success I do not mean everyone will have all A’s and be on target. I take success in small step while still reaching and pushing my students to high learning targets. Therefore, as long as students are progressing and moving closer to achieving the desired goal or objective we are being successful; we are connecting student learning to curriculum design.
