Reflecting on Your Personal Experiences in Curriculum Design


 * Due to the nature of my classroom, I have always developed my own curriculum. I have developed lessons to address my students’ individual goals and objective as per their Individual Education Plan (IEP) set for by myself and the IEP team. I have always tried to develop my lessons with the content and skills as the driving force behind my actions. However, I have not always developed my lesson plans to include concrete assessment tools.


 * However, after learning about the importance of cohesively addressing the content, skills, and assessments when creating my lessons, I will be sure to take account of all three in the future. I believe that by not including assessments in the planning stages of my lesson I have been neglecting an important aspect of student learning. I have always struggled with assessment and have relied on observation and record keeping. I now understand that observation and record keeping does not give a clear and accurate view of how students understand the content and what they are learning.
