 * __The Tyler Model__**

The Tyler Model was developed in 1949 by Ralph Tyler when he published //Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction.// In this book, he identified four principles of curriculum development: 1. Ascertain school’s purposes/objectives: 2. Identify educational experiences related to these objectives: 3. Organize learning experiences: 4. Evaluate the purposes: Tyler’s model is sometimes referred to as a goals-oriented or objectives-based model. This model is also very linear and sequential. //Book//: Tyler, R.W.

Retrieved from http://www.sauabologna.com/coursematerials.php //Provides a comprehensive outline that addresses the four principles of Tyler’s model.// In order to implement Tyler's model, a school or district could first create a curriculum planning committee in order to identify the existing problems and immediate needs of the society and students of the school/district. This committee could also highlight key objectives for their school/district based on these needs. The team would then work through each step of the model, attempting to answer the four essential questions put forth by Tyler. Ornstein, A. C., & Hunkins, F. P.

 * Description of Approach**
 * School’s purposes are derived from gathering information about the needs of the society and the learners, keeping in mind the philosophy of the school.
 * Considering human development and knowledge of learning when identifying educational experiences to be included in a curriculum.
 * Experiences should involve all three domains of learning- cognitive, behavior, and psychomotor.
 * Educational experiences should be sequenced systematically (from simple to complex, and from general to specific) in order to maximize results.
 * Evaluation is important to determine effectiveness.
