My hope is that this road map will not only “show you the way” to design your own curriculum, but also allow you the flexibility of customizing it to fit your own purpose and needs. As with the realization of any lofty vision, and collaboration to create and revise a single curriculum, it will take a great deal of time, thought, energy, let alone multiple curricula.
The best advice i can offer is to regard whatever you produce as a continual “work in progress, two, ” to be accomplished over one, or three years, or even longer. You are creating something truly significant—a comprehensive body of work that is going to serve your educators, students, and parents for years to come! Used book in Good Condition.
