Well, the definitions of curriculum that I found all stated just about the same thing. Basically curriculum is a set of courses and their content required to complete a particular field of study. This doesn't contradict what I already had in mind but it is pretty vague. I don't think that I would change this definition in anyway but I would want to know how do you define and include intangible concepts like the development of character? Similarly, is there flexibility in changing the curriculum to meet the needs of particular students? My understanding of curriculum, from the perspective of a 2nd grade teacher in a public school system, is that it is the material required to be covered by the end of a given grade level of school.
