This is the third post about how to develop a curriculum review system in one’s school. It deals with answering questions about the culture of one’s school and how folks deal with change. Just as the first post on the big picture, these are questions for members of the community to work through before they begin designing their system.

1) How is your school year laid out for natural times to work on curriculum units?

2) When would be the best time to have the “big picture” meeting(s) to look at each subject area K-12 for scope and sequence?

3) How can technology lessen the number of meetings while supporting the strategic big picture planning?

4) What is your PD schedule for the year?

5) How can it be tied in to support the curriculum development process?

6) How can you use time during the day more effectively to support the learning communities working on curriculum?

7) What gets in the way of your teachers having time to share and reflect on student learning?

What other questions (and answers) come to mind?
