6. The Goal of Education

7. How John Dewey influenced curriculum design?
John Dewey influenced curriculum design by suggesting that the curriculum
should include the child’s preconceptions
should incorporate how the child views his or her own world.
He felt that educators should ultimately be producing students who would be able to deal effectively with the modern world.

Defining Curriculum and Instruction
We show our commitment to diversity and social justice by providing our students with opportunities to work with diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic and linguistic backgrounds. 
They engage with our local, state, national, and global communities, serving the needs of society 

11. Curriculum Studies Overview
We focus on the theories and practices of teaching and learning:
both traditional questions concerning curriculum design
and evaluation and newer questions that have emerged in the field, including
how curriculum is culturally, politically, and economically situated;
contemporary analyses of curriculum and instruction discourses;
multicultural, global and international dimensions of teaching and learning.
