Curriculum and instruction is the study of the design, development, implementation/facilitation, and evaluation of education
— from individual lessons to full blown programs: thus, an in-depth examination of teaching methods, philosophies, and
strategies used to deliver what has been designed is an equally important component of this work. It involves understanding
how to create and organize curriculum content, align instruction with curriculum goals and standards, and assess student
learning and progress. It also involves understanding how to create a compelling and engaging learning environment and
support all students' diverse needs.
