What would an academic program be without a curriculum?
Certainly when the stakes are high for a school to have its students score high on standardized tests, school administrations do not seek out curricula and courses that focus on areas other than enabling a student to receive a high standardized test score.
This may seem a bit cynical, but it’s unfortunately true.
In any event, there IS a curriculum which schools can consider IF they want to stretch the minds of their students and increase their levels of competency in the “Critical Skills.” You can view a proposed curriculum by clicking on the link below.
