Model Curriculum Projects

Model curriculum projects are initiated in response to specific legislation calling for a state-developed curriculum in a specified topic or disciplinary area of study. Typically these projects are done under the supervision of the State Board of Education (SBE) or the Instructional Quality Commission, usually with an advisory committee made up of experts and/or teachers in the topic of study.
