Curriculum Development
Curricula are education's silent partners, bringing teacher, content, and student together to share, explore, and construct knowledge within a variety of instructional settings. While not a substitute for good teaching, curricula can structure, support, and shape teaching practice and the learning process. Technology has opened a world of resources previously unavailable in schools, such as online access to experts, primary sources, multiple media. Curricula need to adapt to this new reality and help teachers figure out how to use, cope with, integrate and respond to new tools and demands in the classroom, in their kids’ lives, and in an evolving content base. Curricula are still running to catch up. CCT staff who have played prominent roles in this domain include Bill Tally and Babette Moeller.
