Assessing curriculum is not an exact science. There is no one specific clear cut way to assess curriculum and determine its effectiveness. During this week's class I learned a lot about investigating curriculum:
The state of NJ requires that curriculum includes a pacing guide, core instructional materials (different text levels), benchmark assessments, and modifications (Special ed, ELL, gifted).
I also learned that Marzano states in Classroom Instruction that Works curriculum has to be viable and guaranteed.
A few questions remain: Will we ever have a universal assessment for curriculum? How can schools create a viable and guaranteed curriculum? Who should be in charge of creating and implementing curriculum assessment?
