    The Core Curriculum Conundrum The United States has hundreds of Universities, each with their own self-proclaimed “strengths.” Amongst the engineering, military, and art schools stands a branch of institutions whose aim is exactly the opposite of this. Liberal arts institutions pride themselves on not being strong only in one specific area but rather a broad spectrum of disciplines. When one enters a liberal arts school, they walk into a community with an emphasis on a holistic, well cultured education. At Boston College (BC), this multi-disciplinary education style is more structured than other institutions.

    According to Wong, “A research group at Harvard, The Project on the Next Generation of Teachers discovered that: Few teachers began teaching with a clear, operational curriculum in hand, and even fewer received curricula that aligned with state standards” (pg. 231). On page 30-31 in “The First Days Of School,” the Wong’s make it clear that following a curriculum is crucial to effective student learning. They make a point that a teacher is not to design a curriculum, but rather to deliver the district curriculum. At High Plains Elementary School and Cherry Creek School District, mathematics is taught by following the curriculum Bridges. Bridges lists lessons day by day to follow for each grade.

    For the better part of American history, the federal government did not play any real significant role in education, as education and educational policy was left up to state and local governments. As a result, state and local governments throughout the country devised educational systems that ostensibly reflected the needs and desires of their residents, systems that ultimately left people with various skills that they then drew upon when entering the workforce. With time, the federal government’s role in education grew more expansive, and was particularly prominent when George H.W. Bush was president, as he devised No Child Left Behind, which sought to push schools to raise standards; and when Barack Obama led the nation, as he implemented

    Curriculum models provide a structure for teachers to “systematically and transparently map out the rationale for the use of particular teaching, learning and assessment approaches” in the classroom, and are regarded as an effective and essential framework for successful teachers (O’Neill 2015, p27). Feeding into a particular curricular stance, it is essential to recognise the multiplicity of sources which will govern this individual framework. Oronstein and Hunkins observe that, when designing a curricular stance, educators must first consider the “philosophical and learning theories” which will inform their “design decisions” (2009, p182). This approach is essential to ensure that the curricular approaches one selects are “consonant with
