Overview:

The post-modernist approach to curriculum implementation critiques traditional educational practices by questioning established narratives and standards. It values multiple perspectives and integrates diverse voices into the curriculum. Emphasizing contextual and local relevance, it adapts to students’ cultural and social backgrounds. The approach supports student-centered learning, allowing for personalized and flexible educational experiences. It favors interdisciplinary connections and critiques standardization and rigid testing methods. Overall, it advocates for a dynamic, evolving curriculum that reflects the complexities of contemporary society.

The purpose of this discussion question is for you to review the text and use your experience to analyze the postmodernist approach to curriculum implementation. While Chapter 8 provides excellent examples, you may have one from your current role.

Task:

Most of us have seen curriculum plans come and go. Some are successfully implemented, and some are not. In a well-supported statement discuss how you would argue for a postmodernist approach to curriculum implementation in this century. Be sure to provide support for your comments from the textbook (Table 8.1) and research-based literature.

Remember: Your first post should be no later than 11:59pm Wednesday. The Discussion board will close 11:59 pm Saturday.
