Providing an Equitable Education Through Curriculum Transformation
| Title: | Providing an Equitable Education Through Curriculum Transformation |
| Author: | Cook, Shereen |
| Abstract: | The purpose of this essay is to identify criteria within curricula that contribute to providing equitable education and to analyze and evaluate one curriculum based on these criteria. I first describe school-based factors that contribute to the achievement gap, in order to demonstrate the need for curricular change. Then I describe the criteria used to create the curriculum evaluation tool, which addresses four categories: learners and learning, the learning environment, curriculum materials and instructional strategies, and assessment. Finally, I use the evaluation tool to analyze and evaluate a sixth grade language arts curriculum to determine the degree to which the curriculum provides an equitable education. |
