Quote for this module: "More important than the curriculum is the question of the methods of teaching and the spirit in which the teaching is given" - Bertrand Russell
Hello everyone.
I will be looking forward to seeing your creativity shine for this module's blog! I have attached a web example of a health education course curriculum diagram. These diagrams will be visuals of the plans you have for your curriculum projects and activities you intend on implementing. Take this time to really think about how these activities will impact your intended population and what evaluation or assessment measures need to be in place to track your populations progress, knowledge and skill level.
Here is a good example:

Good luck and let me know if you have questions :-)

Teaching/Instructional Philosophy
Quote for this module: "A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions." - Anonymous
Developing a an instructional/teaching philosophy is an essential tool for curriculum developers and instructors. For the most part, you as the instructor present students with your expectations for assignments, exams and projects. However, your instructional philosophy is a chance for students to see how you arrived at these expectations and how you will assist them in achieving these expectations. Your instructional philosophy provides students with an overview of your experiences, beliefs, practices, and values as an instructor. For the purpose of this module, you will just be creating one for your students. Here is a solid resource on what a teaching/instructional philosophy consists of:
Faculty & Teaching Development: http://ftad.osu.edu/portfolio/philosophy/Philosophy.html;
and here are some sample philosophies:
http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/ed416/sample.html
http://www.cte.duq.edu/resources/factas/eResources/stp.html
Also, as you begin understanding the learner centered approach to curriculum development/teaching, try viewing some of the great resources at Educause:
http://www.educause.edu/ELI/Archives/LearnerCenteredConcepts/940?time=1234467262
I look forward to reading some of your philosophies this module, and please post questions if you have them! We are here to learn from one another
