Meeting Notes on Educational Network Functioning and Curriculum Review

Educational Network Meeting Notes

Mallas Curriculares and Planifications

  • The primary objective is to ensure alignment and coverage of the curriculum across all educational networks, mirroring the approach from the previous year.

  • A shared folder in Google Drive will be provided for educators to upload their lesson plans from the first partial.

  • The intent is to review these planifications and identify any areas needing adjustment, without intending to interfere with individual teaching styles.

  • Emphasis is placed on ensuring that all content is delivered as outlined in the curriculum, with the understanding that prioritization may be necessary due to time constraints.

  • Abraham is responsible for providing the mallas curriculares.

Observations on Class Development

  • Feedback is requested regarding the development of classes and content covered in the first partial year to inform potential curriculum adjustments next year.

  • The focus includes didactics, particularly concerning simulations within art education classes, and whether these simulations are conducted bilingually (in English).

  • There is concern about students' abilities to formulate competencies and objectives, an issue observed even in tenth grade, suggesting a need for potential adjustments in the magisterio content.

Didactics and Practical Training

  • Observations are required on the development framework, emphasizing simulated classes and bilingual competence (English).

  • The comitiva de práctica profesional has established a planning format and evaluation rubric for unifying the assessment of hypothesis 12.

  • It is important to assess whether students in didactics are capable of teaching art education in English.

Specific Feedback Areas

  • Comments are welcomed concerning the course of action being implemented within the normal school, especially focusing on practical teaching.

Recap of Action Items

  • Share planifications in the provided Google Drive folder.
