This more advanced group will incorporate all the elements of the Level 1 and 2 groups, as well as expand on the theory of the “Curriculum Model”. The curriculum is expressed in three interrelated ways:
-
the written curriculum—what do we want to learn?
-
the taught curriculum—how best will we learn?
-
the assessed curriculum—how will we know what we have learned?
The Project Approach’s curriculum is set to recognize and help students develop the range of their capacities and positive attitudes to learning and development, helping to establish children to groom to be well-rounded individuals.
