Subject: [NIFL-FAMILY:498] What is curriculum?
Now that we realize that so many people are hungry for family literacy
curriculum, perhaps we could have more discussion like Cathy Lindsley's
report in which she says,
In Oregon, a group of instructors worked with this challenge last year and
developed a curriculum framework, using Equipped for the Future and CASAS
and
what the learners say they want. The result was the above
curriculum framework. You can copy it for free for your own use. Again, it
is
a framework. There are about 8 lessons as examples and we hope to add more.
What does curriculum mean to all of you who are asking for copies of
materials? Does it come in a box with instructions on how to move from one
step to the next? Does it have one piece or several pieces that fit
together? Does it claim to meet universal needs, or does it show you ways
that you (as the skilled facilitator) can meet the distinct needs of your
students?
Obviously, the need is there, particularly for staff members who are new to
family literacy programming and new to this list. Don't give up on those of
us who have been around for a while and who could use a good refresher
course
ourselves. We are a pretty generous group when given a chance to respond
specifically.
And Happy Holidays, doggone it!
