In the list of grade twelve courses mentioned above one class, HSB4U (Challenge and Change in Society), was not taken at my regular day school. I took the course online at Avon Maitland Distance Education Center (Amdec), as it was not offered/available at my school. I choose to take this course due to my interest in investigating the reasons for shifts in society and their impacts overtime through theories and methods. This course is important in many areas and diverse subjects such as engineering in the case of technological change and medicine in the case of medical ethics. For example social media was used by Arab Spring protesters to get around and rise above governments and change the Middle East. Society needs people to understand both

Professional values will also be explained and the importance they have in the lifelong learning sector. In addition, I will explain how the course will be evaluated providing a summary of how records are currently being used.

A curriculum is any planned educational experience. Ideally, the learning objectives should incorporate the acronym “SMART”: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Targeted to the learner. Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Development (SCID) is a successful model for curriculum development customized to complement the needs of career and technical educators as well as business and industry trainers. It has five phases: design, development, implementation, evaluation. Since curriculum reflects the models of instructional delivery chosen and used, some might indicate that curriculum could be categorized according to the common psychological classifications of the four families of learning theories “Social, Information Processing, Personalist, and Behavioral” as defined by Cortes (1981).

The curriculum is also determined by employability, life skills, and other societal needs, these are ever changing and the curriculum must be flexible enough to be able to adapt to these ever changing skills and demands needed by

According to Blaise and Nuttall (2011), to understand curriculum, we must first understand what is meant by the term curriculum. Within curriculum there are five key concepts, they are the intended curriculum The Intended curriculum is the curriculum that the teachers want the children to experience in order to develop particular knowledge, skills, and attitudes. (Blaise & Nuttall, 2011, p. 82). The enacted curriculum is what teachers want students to experience. important reason why the intended curriculum is enacted differently from teacher to teacher, from classroom to classroom, is that a key part of a teachers work is to interpret the official curriculum, taking into account a wide range of variables that are specific to their classroom and school setting.
