Assignment:
Two goals, or ideas, that seem to appear frequently in curriculum are developing creativity in students and teaching thinking skills. Two of this module's assigned readings in Contemporary Issues in Curriculum address these issues. In the chapter, “Creating Creative Minds,” Sternberg and Lubart present approaches to helping students become creative thinkers. In the chapter, “The Thought-filled Curriculum,” Costa presents five themes for shaping curriculum that would help students think. Evaluate these ideas in relationship to curriculum development. How do you see these ideas being embedded in curriculum design?
Your answer must be a minimum of two to three paragraphs long. Support your responses with relevant citations, using proper APA format, both from the course materials, as well as outside resources. Be sure to use vocabulary that is relevant to the topic!
