Designing for a Knowledge Rich Curriculum

What makes a curriculum ‘knowledge rich’? I use the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model) to show that a claim for ‘richness’ requires design methods which integrate  concepts, content and competencies in a logically cohering way.

The presentation includes an overview of the CDC Model with a description of each of its four Elements.  The Elements’ connections are the mechanism for achieving coherence within a school topic and for students to progress in their understanding from one school year to the next. I use examples from several school subjects, including Science, History, English, and Physical Education at various year levels.

Finally I discuss how the Model’s design protects against the limitations of both content-list and competency-based approaches.

In het kort: Ik ga in deze sessie aan de slag met 'powerful knowledge' voor het geschiedenis- en burgerschapsonderwijs. Ik toon welke keuzes docenten moeten maken in functie van een krachtige kennis.

In het kort: Duurzaam en gezond onderwijs als aanvulling op het reguliere lesaanbod, hoe werkt dat? Welk effect heeft dat op de sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling van kinderen? En wat zijn de lessons learned uit dit wetenschappelijk onderzoek?
In het kort: Een van de dominante resultaten van onderzoek naar lesgeven in superdiverse klassen is het ongemak dat leraren voelen bij het onderwerp, de angst en het gebrek aan lef om het onderwerp te bespreken. In deze lezing bespreek ik recente inzichten uit onderzoek naar lesgeven in superdiverse klassen.
