Explore possibilities to re-organize the scope or sequence of curriculum delivery to achieve valued improvements
Using an analogy of epi-genetic expression in relation to the cultural genome of the school curriculum, educators and school stakeholders (including students) may explore possibilities to strategically organize the scope or sequence of the curriculum for a give class, subject, grade level or grade band.
Possible directions
