Transformational Curriculum Dynamics is the process by which we design curriculum, then create and translate materials that will give teachers the support and help needed in discipling students to conform to the image of Christ. The process involves continual evaluation, revision, and application to multiple areas of study.
1. CurriculumThe curriculum is the structure we need for writing or selecting material. It has three parts: profile, context and outline. The profile is a description of specific qualities and assets we want the students to gain during the program. The context lists aspects of the student's current situation such as educational standing, location, and access to resources. The outline is the plan or course of action used to accomplish the profile within the given context. 2. MaterialAt this point we "put the meat on the bones" so to speak. The curriculum shows the writers how to develop the material or find existing material that will meet the set criteria. Two critical criteria are that the material is developed from a Christian worldview and that it is appropriate for the given context. 3. Translation |
