How are curriculums organized (elementary schools for example)?

It depends.  Usually the states department of education designs an essential document that lists all of the topics and specific objectives that students at each grade level are expected to understand and know at the end of that grade level.\n\nMy states essential document is called the VSC = voluntary state curriculum.\n\nThere is nothing voluntary about it really! Anyhoo Once the individual districts or counties get their hands on the VSC or essential document then they have the responsibility of adapting it into a curriculum that hit the target objectives.\n\nSo with the VSC as the scaffolding the curriculum is built. Most often the Indicators that will be tested on a state wide test are highlighted and are the main things that school districts should focus on to ensure their student population is meeting those standards and goals.

Are you talking about classroom management, district policies, or government regulation?

School Assignments are like miniskirts. They have to be long enough to cover everything but short enough to keep things interesting.

It's spelled structure.  It's how data are organized.

Critical thinking skills, communication skills (interacting/socialization), reading and writing, and movement. All of these things need to be covered in the context of the topics covered and at the level of the student. \n\nAll states have standards that have been defined by stake-holders as to what is suppose to be covered in each grade.

So you know what you have to teach. Physics also develops on itself a lot, so having a structured order of topics makes learning easier for the students.

There are many different public school and private school  early educational curricula.  \n\nA new type of student driven plans are called the Highscope Approach and Tools of the Mind.  Children actually "plan" with the teacher and paraprofessionals as to what they will work on for the day during free and small group time.  The teacher is responsible for setting up specific learning centers (art, writing, dramatic play, housekeeping, science eyes, everyday math, etc.) where the children will spend plenty of time learning through play.\n\nOf course there is also the traditionally run program when the program is more teacher driven.  The teacher is responsible for planning all the learning activities for the students and the students are expected to follow them.  \n\nI have been teaching preschool for many years and have found using the McGraw-Hill Land of the Letter People, coupled with free choice time for centers is wonderful for teaching young children.\n\nCheck out this website for more info on different models of curricula:  http://ceep.crc.uiuc.edu/eecearchive/digests/2000/goffin00.html\n\nI hope this has been helpful!

From my homeschooling days, I did not remember hearing the term AEC, so I googled it.  You've got the letters transposed.  It should be ACE Homeschool Curriculum.  Google that and see everything that comes up.  Good Luck.

As a preschool teacher I work with the Creative Curriculum.  It is based on observing what children are interested in and areas they need to work on. You then guide them through hands on interactive activities that build on what they know and introduce to them what they need. Children learn by exploring and discovery.  You also do ongoing assessments to see what is being learned and any areas of growth you still need to work on.\nIf you put Creative Curriculum into your search engine they do have a web-site.....for some reason my computer wouldn't let me add it here.

I'm currently in a Curriculum and Instruction class at the graduate level and from what I know, a top-down approach is the starting point for a district's curriculum design.  It must be based on goals/mission/strategic plan of the district derived from analysis of what is needed as a "whole." Of course, state and national standards play a large part in determining this.\n\nOnce the strategic plan is identified, then principals lead at the building level, often forming curriculum committees to determine the details of curriculum for the school.  Each school is unique,  therefore each needs to determine what is truly needed and relevant to their community of learners.  Well developed curriculum takes into account knowledge, skills, abilities, specific outcomes to meet, lesson planning with strategies, activities and resources well-matched to those outcomes and assessments to use as evaluation.\n\nHope this helps.
