Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Hi, I joined a few months and the first post that I've written so here goes... I have just heard this term 'offered curriculum' used recently and I am becoming slightly worried that I don't know what it means. I think that it is simply the activities that I might set out in my reception class and the purpose of it. Could someone advise me if this is correct? If not, what is it? Thanks
HappyMaz Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 You're quite right, nutmeg: the offered curriculum is everything you plan for your children. The 'received curriculum' is everything the children do/learn/are exposed to - including all the things children learn or do that you hadn't planned for! Maz
HappyMaz Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks Maz! Pleasure! Now you've made your first post, why not tell us something about yourself and your work? Maz Edited October 5, 2008 by HappyMaz
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Hello from me too Nutmeg. May all your questions be so easily answered! Now you've started posting you'll realise its totally addictive!
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Ahhh, thanks! Well, I'm a reception teacher working in outer London. I absolutely love working with children but I'm not so great at the paperwork and organisational side of things This causes me a lot of worry but this year I'm trying to be more organised and ahead of myself - don't we all that every year?! I have been working with children since I left school and became a nursery nurse because I thought I couldn't become a teacher. Then I decided to go for it, studied for 4 fours and have now been teaching for two! Oh and I love anything sweet and bad for my waistline!! I think that's about it

Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Hi Nutmeg The best thing I did recently( as a fairly new user) was make FSF my home page so I can have a quick look each time I log on. The forums are so busy with postings from people giving fantastic ideas, information and advice I am frightened of missing something!! Julie
