The term “curriculum”

Locate your written assignment from last week where you had to ask someone the following question: “What does the word curriculum mean to you?”.
Using the information from last week’s assignment, a few course readings and your own understanding of curriculum, create your personal and professional definition of curriculum.
Use the following prompts to inform your writing:
• When was the first time you encountered the term “curriculum” and what did you think it meant?
• Have you identified the level, the sector, the grade, the school board and so on involved in your personal and professional definition? If not, try to make it as specific as possible.
• If your definition comes from a personal narrative, then share the details of dates, names, years and such. Perhaps a moment in your teacher timeline contributes to your understanding of curriculum.
• How did the interview participant’s definition from last week inform your understanding of the term? You might want to go back to that person and probe a bit further in terms of his/her understanding versus your own.
• Who are the stakeholders involved in determining/creating/constructing your definition? If you can specify, distinguish their roles.
• Name a few of the researchers/theorists/thinkers we have read so far that would contribute to your curriculum reform?
