A TOOL BOX FOR TEACHERS: IMPLEMENTING CURRICULUM 

A Toolbox for Teachers: Implementing Curriculum was written and compiled to help teachers implement a student-centered approach to education. This document presents a systematic process that links assessment with curriculum and instruction, based on contemporary theories of learning. As a resource for K-12 teachers, it not only presents a process for planning, assessment and evaluation, and reporting, but also includes many practical suggestions. It is our belief that if teachers follow this philosophy and use the strategies suggested the process of planning, assessing and reporting will be aligned in a logical way. As a result teaching will be improved and student learning enhanced.
