First Grade Curriculum

Where can I purchase or find a summer science curriculum for grades 8th-12th.?
I am putting together a summer program for students grades 8th-12th. The program has been around for 10 years but with the same boring curriculum. Last year was my first year involved and the students hated it. I need to find curriculum for each grade level that encompasses mostly science but also math. The sciences I’m specifically looking for are human and animal biology, physics, and chemistry. The program is only 4 weeks long and we have about 15 hours each week where they have class time. HELP!!!
I don’t think it is really necessary for you to go out and buy anything. There are tons of websites with lesson plans you can use.
Below is a small sampling of what is available online. I’ve specifically focused on science lesson plans, but a lot of the sites have some math stuff, too. You will just have to click around to find them. There is probably enough to get you through the four weeks
Also, if you have a science centre near by, see if they have some programs running during the summer that can be used to enhance your curriculum.

The Implementation of a Comprehensive Curriculum $129.05 High stakes accountability has brought challenges to both students and teachers. Many states have developed and mandated the implementation of a comprehensive curriculum as part of their high stakes accountability programs. These mandates have historically fallen as the responsibility of teachers to implement. Often teachers are not consulted as to their thoughts and opinions on these mandates. The author followed four first grade teachers for the purpose of observing their implementation of the comprehensive curriculum. Indepth insight was gained from interviews with the teachers. The teachers expressed their thoughts, both positive and negative, concerning curriculum mandates and the overall effects on their delivery of curriculum.

Curriculum and Assessment $221.29 Curriculum and Assessment is the first volume of a new series International Perspectives on Curriculum. This edited book examines the relationship between curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and, as with subsequent volumes, adopts a crosssector and comparative approach. Contributors make reference to a number of important debates in the fields of curriculum and assessment: summative versus formative assessment; differentiation versus inclusion; psychometric versus holistic theorising; decontextualised versus contextualised assessment; symbolprocessing versus situated learning approaches; integrated versus connected assessment; and high stakes versus low stakes assessment. The rationale for this volume is not to reach an agreement about assessment and curriculum frameworks, but to air the various debates referred to above and develop new frameworks for understanding these important issues. This volume and the series is timely as administrators and policymakers in different parts of the world have taken an increased interest in education, and as moves to centralise curriculum provision have gathered pace. This has in some cases driven a wedge between curriculum theory and curriculum practice, as policymakers have developed and implemented proposals without referring to academic debates about these issues. It therefore is an important task to reassert the need to discuss and debate the curriculum in a critical manner before implementation occurs. This volume sets about that task, addressing policymakers, administrators, teachers and the research community. Author: Scott, David/ Scott, David Series Title: International Perspectives on Curriculum Studies, Binding Type: Hardcover Number of Pages: 200 Publication Date: 2000/12/30 Language: English Dimensions: 9.56 x 6.42 x 0.76 inches |
