DISCUSSION
◼ Student Motivation
▪ Since the removal of Standardized Testing in Elementary School, student
motivation in classes has been affected.
◼ Special Education
▪ Special Education services to students who are Low-Level, Gifted, and/or
Exceptional are inadequate. A Special Education Program needs to be
implemented to offer students better academic support.
◼ Social & Emotional Skill Development Curriculum
▪ With the removal of Standardized Tests, the government required all schools
to teach Social & Emotional Skill Development. However, a framework or
curriculum was not provided, and teachers are ill-equipped to teach this
subject area. Parents disagree with many teacher’s methods, and there is
tension between them.
◼ Discipline & Student Growth
▪ The views on effective disciplinary methods vary from teacher to teacher, and
often discipline methodologies used in the classroom are dissatisfactory.
Either discipline methods are too abusive, or not effective.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS
◼ Student Motivation
▪ Hold PD events for teachers that show how to develop lessons and
activities that relate to student interests.
▪ Involve students in curriculum development.
▪ Incorporate more authentic assessments (such as Student Portfolios)
to make students more involved in their academic growth process.
▪ Complete student surveys before each Unit starts, and find out what
they want to learn about in the Unit, and what activities they want to do.
◼ Special Education
▪ Implement mandatory programs for students who are Low-Level,
Gifted, and Exceptional to attend.
▪ Provide Co-Teaching opportunities where there is a wide gap in student
abilities, or a large of amount of students who are Low-Level, Gifted, or
Exceptional.
▪ Provide PD opportunities for teachers to identify and develop
instructional strategies that will benefit their students’ ability levels.

TEACHER INVOLVEMENT
PSEL 1a-g ; 2a-f ; 3a-h ; 4a-g ; 5a-f ; 6c-g ; 7a-h ; 8-j ; 10a-j
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
◼ Assessments:
▪ Students become more involved in their education and academic
progress through:
▪ Student Portfolios – Building & Sharing
▪ Self Assessments
▪ Other authentic assessments provided by teachers
◼ Lessons:
▪ Surveys - Teachers offer student surveys at the beginning of a unit to
identify:
▪ What they wish to learn about in this unit
▪ What activities they want to do
◼ Curriculum Development:
◼ Student are invited into the curriculum remodeling to share their interests and
give teachers a sense of what students know, don’t’ know, and want to know.
◼ Participation in the Community Awareness Program (CAP)
◼ Method
▪ Based on the current system in Korea, curricula is developed directly by the
teachers who will teach the material to their students.
▪ Within each grade level are five to six classes. The teachers of each class forms a
team for curriculum transformation at the beginning of the school year.
Performance tests that will be used throughout the year will also be created by
this team.
▪ Teachers will be required to attend PD classes that teach specific strategies for
developing a multicultural curriculum.
▪ One representative from each grade level will present the newly designed
curriculum to the Curriculum Transformation Counselor and participate in a
meeting. Teachers will peer-review their designed curriculum, and improvements
will be suggested and made.
▪ Curriculum should be transformed to reflect Banks’ Conceptual Curriculum,
which utilizes higher-level concepts to focus student education. (p. 103-105)

APPROACH USED IN CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT
◼ Different approaches to integrating MC content in curriculum
▪ Transformation approach
▪ “Major goals of this approach include helping students to understand
concepts, events, and people from diverse ethnic and cultural perspectives
and to understand knowledge as a social construction. …Important aims of
the transformation approach are to teach students to think critically and to
develop the skills to formulate, document, and justify their conclusions and
generalizations” (Banks, p. 63-64).
▪ This approach is believed to fit better with South Korean culture. While the
Social Action Approach would be the better approach, most people would
believe that a child should not get involved in any action against social issues.
Therefore, I suggest that the Transformation Approach be used, and the
curriculum can be revisited again in the future. At that time, the
implementation of a Social Action Approach to education might be more
appropriate than at this time.
◼ Teaching students knowledge, caring and action is essential
▪ “The most meaningful and effective way to prepare teachers to involve
students in multicultural experiences…” (Banks, p. 67).

HOPES
◼ It is my hope is that:
▪ South Korea will further develop its multicultural perspective and world
view by educating the future of the country, it’s children.
▪ By educating children about the importance of diversity and
multiculturalism that they will grow up to be better participants in the
global community.
▪ By ensuring each school and curriculum reflects the philosophies of a
multicultural education, students will receive a more supportive and
engaging educational experience that will “promote their personal and
intellectual development” (Banks, p. 157).

THE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR
EDUCATIONAL LEADERS (PSEL)
◼ Throughout this presentation, appropriate slides have notations in
the bottom right corner indicating the alignment to PSEL
Standards.
◼ Out of the 10 PSEL Standards, Standard 9 is the one standard this
project does not align well to. This is due to the Korean system,
which has its own methods of Operation and Management. Some
aspects of this project did align to Standard 9, and it was noted.
However, Standard 9 was not as frequently referred to as the other
standards.
