The Impact of Curriculum Design: Week 3 blog

 Introduction

My poster or infographic below was designed in Canva and illustrates the ultimate goal of a curriculum design which is to improve students' learning. In chapter 5 of "How people learn II: Learners, contexts and culture" strategies on how to support learning was highlighted by means of retrieval of prior knowledge and information to assist students develop more sophisticated understanding of learning. Gura Part II then discusses the ideal environment needed for learning where technology is used as a tool for collaboration between students and other skills are developed in the learning process such as using technology to conduct research. Both Gura's and Chapter 5 "How people learn II: Learners, contexts and culture" with the use of technology can produce students who are innovative designers that are creative and produce original ideas with the use of technology.

    Natasha,
    Great post about chapter 5, I like how you even included references (which I forgot to do). Additionally, I like how your infographic includes students in it. I think this gives greater context to the educator and allows us to see the messages that you are trying to convey more clearly. Lastly, your inclusion of technology was imaginative.

    I agree with Thomas, I think including pictures brings the poster to life, and very detailed. Good Work!

Bridging Minds and Models: Merging Naturalistic and Technological Approaches in Math Education  By Natasha Malone The poster or infographic below, designed in Canva, illustrates the benefits of combining experience-based learning with structured, goal-driven planning . As a secondary math teacher, I have found that the most effective learning occurs when naturalistic and technological approaches are combined. Below is a visual representation of how I merge both strategies to empower my students. My Teaching Philosophy As a secondary mathematics teacher with over 20 years of classroom experience, I have come to realize that real learning occurs when students are active participants in their educational journey. My teaching philosophy centers on “learning by doing,” as John Dewey described it—an approach known as experiential education, where students must connect new learning to prior experiences for it to be meaningful (Noddings, 2016). This idea aligns with my use of metacognitive...

My name is Natasha Malone. I am from and live in the British Virgin Islands. I have been teaching mathematics at Elmore Stoutt High School for 18 years.   Elmore Stoutt High School is a secondary public school from grades 7 to 12 located in the British Virgin Islands.   The British Virgin Islands currently uses a spiral approach curriculum in mathematics.   I was the Head of the Mathematics Department at Elmore Stoutt High School from grades 10 to 12 from 2018 – 2022 and head of the same department from grades 7 to 12 from 2022 to 2023.   My current professional goal is to continue to assist the British Virgin Islands Ministry of Education to restructure the Mathematics Curriculum that will be similar to the Common Core State Standard. This restructure of the curriculum will allow students to easily transfer from British Virgin Islands to United States schools. My future professional goal is to successfully complete my Master in Curriculum and Instructions – Math...

Exploring the Benefits and Challenges of Response to Intervention (RTI) in Inclusive Education

Exploring the Benefits and Challenges of Response to Intervention (RTI) in Inclusive Education Response to Intervention: A Powerful Approach to Enhancing Student Success Response to Intervention (RTI) is a structured framework that addresses students’ academic strengths and needs through a system of preventive and increasingly intensive support (Johnson, 2020). Based on a public health prevention model, RTI emphasizes the use of the least intensive but most effective interventions first. The key elements of RTI include high-quality inclusive instruction, universal screening, progress monitoring, data-driven decision-making, culturally responsive interventions, and ensuring fidelity of implementation (Johnson, 2020). The framework is designed to ensure that students, including those with special needs, receive the support they need in a way that is equitable, efficient, and accountable (Johnson, 2020). The Fundamental Concept Behind RTI RTI consists of three progressive tiers: Tier 1 i...
