Introduction
The centrepiece of this course is a curriculum design project. Through this project, participants will develop deeper conceptual understandings of the interrelationships among the various elements of curriculum and the many factors and considerations that influence the design and enactment of a curriculum, as well as appreciate the larger ethical and practical implications of teacher interpretation and agency in classroom curriculum designing. The course culminates in an invitation to participants to synthesise and consolidate what they have learned in The Teacher and the Curriculum course and The Elements of Curriculum and Curriculum Designing course and critically review their beliefs about curriculum and curriculum designing.
