Curriculum Decisionmaking
How and what an educator teaches students are
important determinations. Indeed, decisions
about a school's curriculum must be based upon
legitimate pedagogical concerns. At times such
concerns have included teaching material and/or
classroom expression. Click here to learn more.
Curriculum and Ideology
Free speech and school curriculum don’t always
align perfectly. In fact, schools in different parts
of the country may have quite different
curriculum to reflect each region's culture. But
there is some oversight to prevent highly
opinionated content in public schools.
Who Has Educational Authority?
The federal government does not determine what
level of schooling students must achieve.
Instead, implementing standards for students'
performance is left to state and local authorities
and to some extent with parents. Click here to

Curriculum - General Background Information
From a legal perspective, curriculum issues
focus on two areas: 1) the range of courses or
instructional programs available to students; and
2) the aggregate of activities, materials,
procedures, and instructional aids used in the
instructional program.
National School Curriculum Standards
There has been a national trend toward
establishing a set of national curriculum
standards for education. So far, there are
voluntary national standards for math, science,
and history. There are standards being
developed for other subjects as well.
National Education Curriculum Goals
The National Education Goals were established
in 1989 and 1994. The goals created a
framework for improving student achievement
and refocusing the objectives of education. At
the same time, the goals left specific tactics to
state and local governments and to schools.
