Interview Guide

Ideally, curriculum planning is a collaborative process. For this Work Product, you will interview a teacher to learn more about his or her curricular goals and find out how you can collaborate with one another to achieve those goals. If you are currently working as an early childhood teacher, collaborate with a colleague in your setting to complete this Assessment.

Share the list of Indicators of Effective Curriculum (Bredekamp, p. 316) with the teacher in the preschool setting you have chosen. Ask him or her to share information about their curriculum design process, including:

Examples of how their curriculum reflects the Indicators of Effective Curriculum

Any standards that guide their curriculum and why these are important

An explanation of specific curricular goals for the children in the classroom across content areas and developmental domains

Information related to cultural and linguistic characteristics of the children, family, and community, as well as socioeconomic background, family structures, and children with exceptionalities who may attend the school

Examples of how knowledge of the children, families, and community helps to inform certain indicators and provides a context for learning

Examples of how learning experiences are differentiated to meet the needs of individual children

The teachers perspectives on collaboration in curriculum development

How you and the teacher can collaborate to design effective learning experiences for the children in the classroom
