...Discuss the factors influencing the emergence of the curriculum, models of curriculum design and the implication of curriculum evaluation. 1.1 Concept of curriculum There is no single definition of the curriculum .The most common definition of curriculum that most teachers give is that it is a syllabus or a program of study but this is an erroneous definition. For Taba (1962), it is a ‘plan for learning’, while Lawton describes the curriculum as “a selection from the culture of a society” (Lawton, 1975, p6). It has also been described as “a social and political construct that changes over time in response to a range of factors and influences” (Mc Cullock, 1992, p9). Hence, the term curriculum means different things for different people. While it is obvious that the curriculum is not neutral, its content and how it is transmitted depends on the kinds of interaction between curriculum developers, teachers and students. Stated differently, curricula emerges depending on the various ways curriculum developers, teachers and students interact with each other. In this essay, I will outline the internal and external factors that shape the interaction between the official curriculum, what is taught in secondary schools and learning that takes place in classrooms. Internal factors include the influences of philosophy, psychology and sociology, whereas external factors include the social, economic and political aspects that shape curriculum design. Two curriculum models, namely the rational...

...Eastman Kodak At one time, Eastman Kodak dominated the film industry. Unfortunately for them, Eastman Kodak did not respond to the fast paced growth in the tech industry. The innovative staff at Fuji introduced a new product that decreased Eastman Kodak’s market share by a large margin for the first time. Their market share went from $85 per share to $71 per share, which resulted in a 16% decline. Eastman Kodak’s market share continued to decrease while the technology market as a whole was increasing tremendously. The obligatory changing of the organizational architecture for Eastman Kodak was in response to the immediate decline in market share, earnings per share, and lack of response to advances in modern technology. Eastman Kodak realized that they needed to restructure and respond very quickly but they were unsuccessful. Ultimately, Eastman Kodak was left in the dust. Before the distinct advances in technology, Eastman Kodak had a centralized decision method. This requires lower level management decisions to go through top management before any changes could be decided or implemented. Although the top down decision-making can control the company in positive ways, this method requires a tremendous amount of time because of the amount of approvals required. Eastman Kodak realized that they needed more opinions and ideas flowing around the company in order to stay competitive in the tech market, so they...

...Evaluating Football Players Essay by D. Cummings It may seem overly simplified and obvious to state that player evaluation is critical in generating success and wins on the football field. A coach may have the greatest “system” and an amazing game plan laid out but, without the right players in the right positions the only thing a coach will collect are losses. This is true of coaching recreational and youth football through the professional ranks. Player evaluation is not only about addressing the physical skills needed for specific positions but, it is also about plugging in the right players who posses the temperament and character to lead the team in all critical situations on the field. Coach Trimble has a very encompassing player evaluation process that fits his program and situation. His evaluation cycle is a constant year round model that allows him to track his players over long periods of time. Even with that being the case, many of his methods can be translated to youth football, middle school/ junior high school , and smaller high school programs. Coach Trimble uses off season conditioning routines, preseason, practice, and game situations to evaluate his players as well as his players evaluating themselves to make sure they are properly used on the field. Many of these evaluation techniques can be used, with some adjustments, just as effectively at lower levels of competition as they are for larger programs like the one at Jenks High School. ...

...employees are not performing up to a certain standard or at an expected level of performance. The difference between actual the actual level of job performance and the expected level of job performance indicates a need for training. A training analysis is conducted ultimately to identify what areas of knowledge or behaviors that training needs to accomplish with learners. The analysis considers what results the organization needs from the learner, what knowledge and skills the learner presently has and usually concludes with identifying what knowledge and skills the learner must gain. Usually this phase also includes identifying when training should occur and who should attend as learners. Ideally, criteria are established for the final evaluation of training to conclude if training goals were met or not. Depending on the resources and needs of the organization, a training analysis can range from a very detailed inventory of skills to a general review of performance results. The more complete the training analysis, the more likely that the employee's training will ultimately contribute results to the organization.

...Kristal Charles November 11, 2013 EDU 225 Christy Faux Software to Support Assessment Using assessments can be very a very difficult part of teaching. Evaluating a child’s performance in school can be very hard, but a necessary part of the educational process. For many, assessments mean test. Students and parents view these assessments as a way to out-do their classmates and compete to see who is able to get the highest grade. They don’t view these assessments as a way to know if they understand the things being taught. Assessments are created to serve a purpose. They help diagnose learning disabilities, identify a student in need, and help the district meet their yearly goals Technology to Facilitate Ongoing Efforts to Assess Student Learning Teachers are able to use technology in many different ways. Teachers us observation, making adjustments when needed in a lesson, communication, written assignments, and giving tests to help each student know their strengths, and weaknesses. To make sure no child is left behind a teacher needs to evaluate the child’s daily, monthly, and quarterly progress. This will help the teacher understand what is each child still needs help on. By modifying the curriculum for some of the children this will help each one individually. Students should have the opportunity to use assessments in their class to help understand all the tasks that are being assigned during. The software being used can include many things.

...Self- Assessment Orlando Polite Juanita Murrell BUS 520 – Leadership and Organizational October 21, 2013 The Johari Window is for improving self-awareness, and mutual understanding between individuals. It can also be used to assess and improve relationships with others. Recognizing what others see in us is something that we may not be aware of and accept. One must believe and trust an individual before sharing personal information ("Johari Window," 2010). This paper will discuss some profiles of my personality characteristics and evaluation results. Also summarize assessment results. Then analyze how the scores play a part with relationships and career choices. The profile of my features displays my personal preference and is consistently decisive. I tend to get work done under stressful conditions. I show a lot of positive feedback as a manager. I am extremely confident with my work and decisions. Managers are not perfect, so we tend to make mistakes and learn from them. Being able to take criticism makes an individual a better person and a good manager. Being able to work long hours and with standing prejudices and biases situation is one of my strong points (Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien & Hunt, 2012). My primary mission as a leader is change.

This discussion will compare the ways that each association defines, addresses, and approaches an educational institution’s learning assessments program during the accreditation process. Higher Learning Commission Defining Learning Assessments HLC defines learning assessment structure in terms of their stated criteria and core standards. Evidence listed for these core components provides a more detailed definition of learning assessments. As of 1 January 2013, HLC’s accreditation process will be built on 5 criteria. HLC directly addresses learning assessments in 2 of its 5 accreditation criteria. Criteria #3- Teaching & Learning: Quality, Resources & Support Criteria #4- Teaching & Learning: Evaluation & Improvement Because Criteria 3 and 4 have specific learning assessment applications they alone will be discussed further. HLC derives Core Components for each of the Criteria. Two Core Components for criteria 3 are specific to student learning assessment: A) The institution demonstrates that the exercise of intellectual inquiry and the acquisition, application, and integration of broad learning and skills are integral to its educational programs. B) The institution provides support for student learning and effective teaching. For purposes of illustration, evidence examples for these two Core Components (A and B) are: A1. The institution...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Axia College Program Planning and Evaluation Paper The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is an organization which supports young people who love music, encourages quality musicianship, and advanced leadership skills through their program. Local elementary and middle schools have had to cut the music programs from their curriculum; parents, students, and community members are concerned that this lack of support from the education community will discourage talented individuals. SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians. Their program planning and evaluation techniques are established, but always open to change as the students and musical tastes vary from year to year. Program planning and evaluation are two different processes in any human services agency, but are related to each other in many ways. Program planning is a process through activities or interventions which address and facilitate changes in a specific problem or problems. (Terao & Yuen, 2003) Through this planning, new programs can be implemented which can more appropriately address the problem or add new aspects to an existing program. Program evaluation provides information about how well a program is meeting the needs of its clientele, staff, the community, and its mission. Ongoing assessments allow for changes which need to be made as participants change, needs change, or there are better ways...
