    The document defines curriculum as the collection of lessons and assessments taught by a teacher in an educational institution, describing the total experiences a student will have. A curriculum imposes order on what is taught and communicates clear expectations for teachers and students. Having a curriculum allows students to transition between institutions and ensures they are prepared at consistent levels. The curriculum sets a goal for the end of primary school so students are ready for secondary school. The definition resonates with the author's perspective because the curriculum should be structured around student needs and make learning fun and effective, not a burden, by assessing if lessons were effective.

    EDUC 5220 - Curriculum Design and Instructional Decision

    Making
     Research and locate a published (online or documented – not Wikipedia) definition
    for curriculum outside of the ones presented to you in this unit.  It does not have to be
    extensive, just a few lines but no more than a paragraph.  Prepare your post by extracting
    the definition and copying/pasting it into the forum. Underneath the excerpt, share why
    this definition resonates with your educative perspective.  Please provide a reference for
    this excerpt cited in APA format. 

    According to https://twinkl.co.uk A curriculum is a collection of lessons and assessments that a


    will be taught in an educational institution by a teacher. Or to put it another way, it describes the
    totality of experiences a student will have when taught in an institution by a teacher.
    Why is curriculum important? A curriculum is important because it imposes some order onto
    what is taught in an educational institution. And most importantly of all, it communicates clear
    expectations for both teachers and students about what ought to be achieved by the endpoint of
    the course.
    Having a curriculum allows students to pass between institutions and so that they can progress
    and go on to get further qualifications. At primary and secondary school level many students will
    move between schools. Therefore, a curriculum is important. It means that schools are
    standardised and students will not suffer or miss out on teaching just because they move from
    one school to another.
    What’s more, it sets a goal for the end of the primary school years for all students to reach. All
    primary schools follow a curriculum so that they are prepared to the same level for when they
    start studying at secondary school level. What is the curriculum? - Answered - Twinkl Teaching
    Wiki

    The reason why this definition of curriculum resonates with my educational perspective is that I
    believe that the curriculum of any school or place of learning should be in tune to the student’s
    needs. The curriculum should be structured so that the learner will benefit in the long run of what
    lessons was taught to him or her, and why they were taught. Learning can be fun and effective
    and not a burden to the students and learners when the correct curriculum is implemented. As the
    definition highlighted, it is not just about what is taught, but the learners also have to be tested to
    see if what was taught or introduced was actually effective.
