Curriculum Development

Target specific curriculum requirements, with suggested research projects, labs, and

investigations which parallel the requirements of local and regional educational curriculum outlines.

Learning objectives and evaluative criteria are useful for teachers to use directly without a great deal

of extra preparatory work.

2. Define the Boundaries:
