These are solely my views.

1. My views on the use of the Belize National
Curriculum and Language Arts
The main goals that the National Curriculum offers me a teacher are the
relevant instructions as a guide for me to write and execute a lesson that will
be able to teach learners the skills of language. Children who sit in a classroom
will learn well if a teacher plans well. They will be able to relate to strategies
and participate and learn what is being taught.
The Language Arts Curriculum is organized as a well balanced and
detailed guide that includes skills, attitudes, development, goals, strategies
and techniques that a teacher needs to use when he/she is planning. All the
other resources that a teacher needs in addition to planning effectively are
provided from the text he/she teaches from and other resources.
I often used the Language Arts Curriculum for writing objectives. I have
re-read the scope and sequence materials and have observed the written
methods and approaches that can be used to meet the needs of the learners
from diverse language backgrounds.
Presently, I am reading through the curriculum and tagging the
locations where I am finding methods that I can apply to the lessons I will
write and execute. Understanding and "learning" the Language Arts
Curriculum is somewhat like riding a bike. You will never forget. I hope to
master the skills of using the National Curriculum because it contains
reachable goals and it focuses on learning outcomes that will promote
measurable and attainable knowledge.
