When it comes to curriculum design, what does...
Develop and embrace the vision for what does student learning look like for the subject area.
Determine how that vision aligns with the mission statement for your school.
Adopt a curriculum development process and make sure that all involved with the process understand it.
Commit to the process and be willing to adjust the process as new information becomes available. It can be recursive.
Co-create a curriculum guide that attends to the vision and a K-8 learning progression.
Identify instructional programs (textbooks, kits, etc...) that allow teachers to carry out the curriculum guide.
