Question

how to simplify enacted curriculum and intend curriculum for teachers in classroom

Answer 1

The enacted curriculum refers to the actual

curricular content that students engage in the

classroom.

Intended curriculum refers to such policy tools as curriculum standards, guidelines or frameworks, that outline the curriculum teachers are expected to deliver.

To simplify enacted curriculum and intended curriculum for teachers in classroom, a teacher can employ a detailed and conceptually rich set of descriptors of mathematics and science for example that can be organized into three dimensions: topic coverage, cognitive demand, and mode of presentation. Each dimension consists of a set number of discrete descriptors.

Topic coverage consists of distinct categories for mathematics for example, expressions, ratio, relations between operations and volume.

Cognitive demand includes some descriptors which are memorize, understand concepts, collect data, compare/estimate, perform procedures, solve routine problems, interpret data, solve and build/revise proofs.

The modes of presentation include exposition, pictorials, concrete models, equations or formulas, graphical, laboratory work, and fieldwork.

A teacher would be able to describe a lesson using these three dimensional topics, yielding an extremely rich, yet systematic language for describing instructional content in the classroom.
