What Can a Happy Person Give?

Prof. Ed. 4.                                                                                                                     The Elements & Components of Curriculum.

Needless to ask if you're happy ... yes, the fact that you have this opportunity,

I SUPPOSE, YOU ARE HAPPY!

well, i really hope you are :)

and so, since I am making a positive presumption,

How many % happy are you? -- as in, are you 99.9% happy?, 80%? 45%? -- your call!

What is your level of happiness?

...and of course, why did you say so? 

and since you have no more choice than gauge your intensity, 

let me moreso amplify ... 

What are some reasons for you to be happy? 

Hmmmm...so, how's your list? Are your grounds vivid?

Do you really mean "saying so", or you're just striving to "trick yourself" of such a requirement?  

Well, it really happens. 

Sometimes, we just can't find enough motivation to find a spot for such an emotion deep within us. But sometimes too, we need to look around and find some amount of motivation. 

Try to watch this video ... see if you could settle on a more proper frame of mind to eventually identify HOW MUCH YOU CAN GIVE ... just because you're HAPPY!

Inspired by this, shall you have all the opportunity to CRAFT a Curriculum for the young generation, what then would you be willing to GIVE?  

Bring it down, layout your plan with your CO-STAKEHOLDERS "to be"! 

Note:  

Students are expected to brainstorm within their group on HOW THEY WOULD WANT THEIR "OWN SCHOOL TO BE". What, among the Elements & Components of Curriculum would they consciously & unconsciously include?    

It takes a happy heart to build a well-founded school 

for our future generation.

In Your Picture Gallery

If you are to capture scenarios, experiences, situations, faces, places and eventually come up with a PICTURE GALLERY which would intend to attract people…

what would you include?

Whatever would appear in your "Picture Gallery" would definitely reflect whether you are a Traditionalist or a Progressivist in  your "POINT OF VIEW" as discussed in this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzWvUKgwO4W2S2NaYjN2ZTdOU3M/edit?usp=sharing, along with the succeeding impressions under the topic Concepts, Nature and Purposes of Curriculum.  

No matter what standpoint, as no particular view has ever been pinpointed better than the other, gearing towards "development" should really be the basepoint of purposeful planning in Educational Settings should we ever crave for positive changes. 

While our involvement in that so called "positive change": is claimable, it should just be wise to look-into and examine closely which Model of Curriculum  should we subscribe to: Ralph Tyler's Model with Four Fundamental Principles or Hilda Taba's Linear Model/Grassroots Approach although if we would closely scrutinize, both versions recognized the Three Interaction Process in Curriculum Development: Planning, Implementing & Evaluating. 

It would likewise help significantly to consider the Types of Curriculum Operating in Schools: Recommended, Written, Taught, Supported, Assessed, Learned & Hidden while back-tracking along the Major Foundations of Curriculum: Philosophical, Historical, Psychological & Social.  Why? Because it would always make the difference if you could find a "clear trace" of the ORIGIN and PATH of the Model that you are venturing on. 

Always remember, you can never share even if you want, if you can never tell what you have. 

So, whose Model do you mostly do you adhere to? What would you have in your Picture Gallery?
