Course Rational: Administrators and teachers are responsible for the planning and implementation of curriculum that best meets student needs and fosters maximum growth. To make educationally sound decisions and to implement decisions in a manner that is productive for students, educators must know the parameters, advantages, and disadvantages of the various curriculum models and must analyze the research data which supports or discredits those conclusions.
