I do not think it is good for teachers of any subject area to be making their own curricula at all. It seems a phenomenal waste of time and there is a risk that the teacher is not a good enough content expert to develop such curricula materials. There are tons of curricula resources out there.[/quote]

I think that every teacher should be a good enough content expert to write their own curriculum, and adjust that curriculum to a variety of learners. That's the job of teaching. There may be tons of curricular resources out there, but not very many of those resources are good.[/quote]

I agree that every teacher should be a good enough content expert but unfortunately I think that is often not the case. I think curricula should be developed by the [b]top[/b] people nationally in a particular field. I still think it is a huge waste of time for every teacher to re-invent the wheel as well. As for good resources, I think often it is "fuzzy" educational theories/ideas such as whole language and discovery math.[/quote]
