The 7 Rs of QUALITY CURRICULUM MATERIAL


1. RIGOROUS- the curriculum material is rigorous if it provides students
opportunities to develop higher order thinking skills, decision making
and deep understanding. It also points the direction for learning but
opens for students understanding beyond a minimal outcome. Do the
activities in the lessons allow students to develop higher order
thinking? How do the activities launch learning?

2. REAL- the curriculum material is real if it builds understanding to


engage in real life activities related to becoming teachers. Are the
topics significant or important to the life of the students? How do the
topics intersect their lives as students and as future teachers?

3. REQUIRES INDEPENDENCE- a curriculum material requires


independence if students are given opportunities to make appropriate
choices, like who to interview or what class to observe and when to do
it. This will make students engage in deep in learning and also allow
students to learn from their mistakes.

4. RICH IN THINKING- a curriculum material is rich in thinking if it asks


students more than memorization or repetition. The curriculum
materials make students do observations, asks questions, consider
alternatives, evaluate outcomes, reflect and make judgement based on
evidence.

5. REVEALING- a quality curriculum material is revealing if it seeks to


show what the students do and do not understand, but how they
understand it. Does the curriculum material reveal what they
understand from their answers in the activities, self-check and self-
reflection?

6. REWARDING- a quality curriculum material is rewarding if students


can articulate what they are learning, if they can share clearly the
results of their individual and group tasks. This is indicative of the
students’ effort which is directed toward a well-defined learning goal.
The sense of purpose is shown in their work as the intrinsic rewards
they gain. In short, they are happy with what they are doing.

7. REFLECTIVE- a quality curriculum material is reflective if it allows


students to think about one’s learning not only about feelings. For
example, the statement “I used to think…but now I think”.
