Integrated Curriculum Quality Criteria Tool

Am I doing this right? Creating, refining, and providing feedback on curriculum units can be overwhelming with how many different things we need to include. The Quality Criteria for Integrated Curriculum Units tool builds off of the research from CAST, Zaretta Hammond, and Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, and focuses on ways to design student-centered learning opportunities.

How to Use the Quality Criteria Tool

The goal of the tool is not to use it as a checklist, but as a guide. Focus on the indicators that are most relevant to the unit at hand to build your practice over time.
