Course Planning and Syllabus Design

One scope and sequence area that fails to be available to our students is content NEED. Our school follows curriculum which in my opinion sometimes doesn't prepare students for real-life. When our students leave high school many of them don't go very far. I believe if we had local people who created relevant curriculum with the needs of the students in mind, our students would be better prepared for the Western world. Many of our students are not able to verbalize themselves effectively when it comes time for social situations. I think many of them find that they can't communicate effectively and then shut down and give up. If we had local teachers and community members that came together and brainstormed ideas about what our students needs' are, we could possibly create a curriculum that students can benefit from. Those benefits would include learning how to communicate within everyday situations where they will go to learn additional skills.
