CURRICULUM EVALUATION, REFORM AND IMPLEMENTATION

This course will provide practical tools for assessing the current curriculum while providing a policy and means for implementing change. In addition, the course will prepare administrators for their role as motivator, agents and supervisors of education in their school system. “With the institutionalisation of ‘new wave’ evaluation, I think we have produced a situation in which there is some danger that evaluators create their own establishment and glamorise it as an elite. Let’s keep hold of the idea that it is mostly a matter of common sense and learning from experience. That is not entirely true but it keeps us from going technical or theological; and a little modest oversimplification is better than a lapse into jargon or pretentiousness” (Stenhouse, L., 1975)
