Scenario for the Three Assignments

Assume that you are the curriculum designer for a school district. The school board has requested that several teams develop proposals for new curricula to meet newly established state standards. You and your team must develop the first proposal to provide as a pilot or model for the other teams. You have to first identify a specific curriculum area not currently used in the school district that would greatly benefit the students in the district. Use the Internet or the Strayer Library as well as your textbook to develop a pilot curriculum for a specific discipline area such as reading, math, science or grades K–12 at a local school district.

Refer to the scenario for the assignments. Build on the same pilot curriculum that was identified in the Curriculum Inception assignment that has been attached for your viewing, please be sure to refer to the original assignment and to answer every question laid out here in the outline for curriculum foundations, thank you!
