Who is involved in making and implementing changes to the curriculum and curricular systems? How are they involved and what collaboration takes place?
How are curricular decisions made regarding intervention strategies that promote academic success of all students?
What is the process used in your district/school for textbook selection? How often and how is this process evaluated for effectiveness?
If you could change how curricular decisions are made and implemented, what would it be? Explain.
