Subject Centered Design Subject matter is focused on more than student. Most common curriculum
found in most public
K-12 schools. Students focus on repeating the same skill but the concepts difficulty changes. Known as a “spiral curriculum” it allows for student exposure to a variety of ideas over and over rather
than having a specific time limit.
Students can read certain sections of an approved textbook and answer teacher made questions or chapter questions on what material was covered. State requirements are
being followed and m
There is specific predetermined curriculum for teache
to follow. Textbooks a
used for all students, s
the same material is covered. Learner Centered Design Individual students’ needs are considered, and material can be adjusted. There can be variations on assignments to fit a student needs. Having student understanding strengthened and have variations or different options for
assignments available for students. Breaking down a lesson into several parts so the students can understand and retain more of the information. Incorporating graphic
elements into lessons such as pictures and videos. Variations of workshe
for students to have a choice of how to learn
the material.
Grouping together an “expert” student with student who may requ
additional assistance with certain assignments. (Expert student understands th
content and can help other students grasp th
concept).
Reflection:
The key theme that runs through all three TASC standards (6-8) is that the teacher should
not be limited to one method to help the students successfully attain the given standard. In standard 6, the teacher is called upon to use multiple methods of assessment to engage learners in
their own growth, to monitor learner progress, and to guide the teacher’s and learner’s decision making. In standard seven, the teacher is directed to not just draw upon knowledge of content areas, but to use outside content, such as the curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, and pedagogy to help the students to meet their learning goals. In standard 8, the teacher is directed to use a variety of instructional strategies to encourage learners to develop deep understanding of content areas.
Another set of themes that runs through the standards are that the standards are grouped into three main categories. The first of these categories is Performances, which are standards that
apply to how the teacher does her job and that can be observed and assessed. The second theme, Essential Knowledge, defines how the teacher ensures that the students meet the standards. The third theme, critical dispositions, defines the teacher’s personal responsibilities and moral commitments to the students. These key themes are reflective of effective teaching practices because they were designed to serve as a resource for states, districts, professional organizations, teacher education programs, teachers, and others as they develop policies and programs to prepare, license, support, evaluate, and reward today’s teachers (TASC, 2013).
The subject centered model aligns with the elements of the TASC standards in that it focuses on the Essential Knowledge aspects of the standards. The model defines the subject matter to be learned and the student’s and teacher’s performance can be directly assessed. The Lerner Centered model aligns with the elements of the TACS standards in that focuses on the Performance aspects of the standards. This model focuses on the individual student and how the teacher relates to their individual learning experience.
