Directions

1. Review all required readings and the required video.
2. From the provided materials, select either three curriculum models or three curriculum theories. Do not mix models and theories.
3. Use the Venn diagram template provided in this module to compare the three you selected:

Your Venn diagram must include:

• clearly labeled circles representing the model or theory.
• unique features for each model or theory
• similarities shared by all three
• Every section of the diagram should contain information.

Example

If the materials discuss Tylers Objectives Model, Backward Design, and Standards Based Curriculum, your diagram might show that all three emphasize learning goals, while they differ in how curriculum planning begins.
