      As an educator, one of your goals is to help students gain knowledge that will help them become thoughtful and well informed citizens.  Reflect on how philosophy can be a positive foundation for curriculum and student learning.

      Philosophy helps educators analyze and shape their position on the goal of education, and make decisions based on values that shape their beliefs and behaviors. This will shape their choices of teaching strategies and guide them in developing relationships with students and embracing their career.

      A curriculum describes not only what the student should know, but how it can be taught, and in what sequence. The curricula that is based on standards may be adopted at the state level or by a local school district. The resources required to teach the content, include textbooks, workbooks, computer programs, and tests are made available by publishers, non-profit agencies, states and districts. The teachers develop unit and lesson plans with goals, objectives, and activities for their classrooms. McTighe (2012) describes it this way:

      At the end of a long and vital process intended to reach the student, we find the teachers developing unit and lesson plans and activities. They are at the stage of learning experience, and their role is crucial to the success of the students. Whether they are seen as facilitators, guides, or coaches, so much depends on the way they approach their work, their values, and professionalism.

      A common misconception is that standards are the same as curricula

      Another misconception is that instructional design is the same as curriculum development. They are not.
