SC 430 Curriculum Design for the Middle Level Learner

The focus of SC 430 is curriculum design and responsibilities for teaching the middle level learner. Because of the various content areas involved in teaching middle level learners, the course will be divided into two parts. The first half will explore the curriculum within the learning context: Who are my students? What is the context of my work? How can I best support my students? How can I involve my students' families and the communities where they live? The second half will focus on instruction. It will include developmentally and culturally appropriate strategies, planning and assessment for specific content areas of the middle level curriculum. A major component of Part II will be analyzing instructional units for the students' content area (e.g., math, social studies, language arts, history, science) as well as creating one.
