It is certainly tempting to unthinkingly agree that it’s best for all students to study the same curriculum prior to more career focused training in college‚ but there are many reasons to support diversity in early education. National curriculums are by necessity unchallenging‚ uncustomized and sacrifice for conformity. The first task that a national curriculum fails to address is that of differing student ability. The large variation in general learning ability means that gifted students will

The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood Our Philosophy The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn’t just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. In their early years‚ children explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching‚ tasting‚ listening‚ smelling‚ and looking). In using real materials such as blocks

Science plays an important part in the National Curriculum and providing pupils with valuable knowledge‚ understanding and the skills to investigate scientific theories in their continued education.

reason that the teachers should use developmentally appropriate practice in the classroom is to create an appropriate curriculum.

According to John Dewey in his book on The Child and the Curriculum (1902)‚ a child might not have a mental framework in which to classify and assimilate all the information that he is receiving in school. The child is still in the process of developing the context to process all the information about the world that he is absorbing. As part of a child’s survival and human development‚ he tends to focus more on the surrounding people and relationships as opposed to new concrete facts presented in

In regards to the newly state-mandated‚ textbook-based curriculum for Kindergarten‚ I am apprehensive to the benefits of such said curriculum for children so young. Although textbooks cover lots of information in a given subject they aren’t nearly as effective as age-appropriate literature in their ability to interest children in the area of topic and getting them excited about learning. Kindergarten aged children will most likely see typical textbooks as boring and/or overwhelming. At this age
