APPLYING THEORIES, DESIGN PRINCIPLES, AND EVALUATION MODELS D183- Task 2 Western Governors University Crystal Herring November 2023

A1. Curriculum: Title: Envision Mathematics Common Core Creator: Savvas Learning Company Content: Mathematics Grade: K Goal/ Objectives: The goal of the mathematics envisions curriculum is to support students with mathematic skills by providing them with mathematics concepts, vocabulary, and modeling skills. According to the Savvas company, “ Envision Mathematics is designed to achieve a coherent progression of mathematical content within each course and across the program, building lesson to lesson” (2023). A2. Design Principles: Two design principles that Envisions adheres to is Intergration and Sequence. Intergration is demonstrated throughout the curriculum when it comes to having to have prior knowledge skills of the previous lesson in order to move on to the next. “ Building from students’ prior knowledge, connecting topics that used to seem unrelated, and applying these skills to solve new problems (Ferguson, 2017). In the beginning of each lesson of the teacher edition, it would give an option to reteach the previous lessons for students who were struggling with that topic. It also shows a students should know sections of the teacher manual, which helps the teacher to assess her class on what they should know prior to starting the lesson. Intergration of topics is important because students should continue to keep prior knowledge skills of other topics, which can then be

integrated into another topic. For example, if students are learning about composing numbers that make 10. That same concept could be carried over to the topic of addition. Now students would be able to use what they have learned about composing numbers which then turns into now knowing the numbers that add up to 10. The second design principle is sequencing. Sequencing within the curriculum helps to demonstrate how the curriculum is formed. It shows the layout of the envisions math program formed around major topics students should learn based on their grade level. According to Explore Learning, it states, “Th e sequence refers to the particular order of teaching. Teachers have the complete pathway for mathematical knowledge and understanding when paired with the standards ” (2023) . I think it is most important to teach principal topics in the beginning the year because students would need these principal topics to make connections to the sub-topics. The envisions curriculum framework is planned out in this exact way the major topics are taught first because going into sub-topics. For example, for kindergarten, the first lesson would be number sense. Students are taught to build on skills of knowing numbers. The next topic would be composing numbers that make 5. Students would have to have prior knowledge skills of counting numbers and grouping objects that form a number. A3. Design Ideology: When it comes to Envision ideologies, they are known for following the Scholar Academic Ideology. According to Michael Schiro, he states, “ A curriculum ideology is a collection of ideas held by an individual or group of individuals regarding the organization and function of schooling ” (Schiro, 2012). As a teacher you are expected to know what you want your students to learn, how they are going to learn it and the impact of what is taught to them based on assessments. Scholar Academic ideology is the approach most teachers would be taking within
