Building on the ideas of curriculum design and differentiated instruction, MSCI will focus on:
- Understandings which are endurable and transferable
- Essential questions to guide student inquiry
- Knowledge and skills enabling students to perform complex assessment tasks
- Curriculum goals, including content standards, benchmarks, and objectives
- Learning experiences and teaching which promote understanding, interest, and excellence
- Assessments which allow revision and refinements of curriculum and instruction, and
- Creating flexible learning arrangements that balance group and individual needs.
