Be sure to cite the sources you used to learn about social reconstruction when you refer to it.

Personal Philosophy of Curriculum

Within this subsection, write a personal philosophy of CURRICULUM (not education in general, but curriculum!) that incorporates elements of at least two ideologies previously explained and evaluated. A personal philosophy of curriculum should address the purpose of schooling, the roles of teachers and learners, the type of curricular content that should be used to achieve that purpose, and an overview of appropriate assessments methods to determine curricular effectiveness. Your philosophy should not be limited to these two theories, though, so keep in mind that you may introduce any ideas that are relevant within this section.
