With the school at the centre of actualization activity, continuous renewal of programs can occur smoothly, within the daily operations of the school. Curriculum documents provide the starting point for classroom programs. The concept of actualization of Core Curriculum should be viewed within the context of classroom activity and the student learning that results. Actualization, it must be remembered, takes into account all aspects of classroom practice that contribute to student learning. All actualization activity should be based on the recognition that curriculum documents and initiatives become meaningful only when they become part of a school community.
People make the difference.
These people make the difference in the success of an implementation undertaking. All actualization activity should be based on the recognition that curriculum documents and initiatives become meaningful only when they become part of a school community. While we recognize the value of strong provincial leadership, it is the people in each school community who are in the best position to plan and take responsibility for the continuous renewal of Core Curriculum in their jurisdiction. Change is both an individual and an organizational process that requires a combination of pressure and support to be sustained. The task of designing and developing the new Core Curriculum was immense and constitutes nothing less than a major reform of the education system.
