3. The animal school – How would you relate the fable you have just read
regarding curriculum, curriculum evaluation and curriculum enhancement?
As what I have read on the fable that as a teacher, students have their own uniqueness
in terms of skills, mind and performance. Some students are slow in other field but
some of them are really good in other field. As curriculum also, grew and improves as
time pass by. Curriculum keeps on evolving and continue to improve in various students
where you can write and evaluate what curriculum that you will using in various class.
