The “curriculum” refers to the lessons and academic content taught in school or in a specific course or program. Curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school; we prefer to consider the broader definition of curriculum. This typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which includes the learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student learning.
