The typed summary should include all of the required information that will be presented on the digital presentation (questions 1-11 from part 1), and should read as one cohesive paper. Part 3: Curriculum Fact Sheet You will create an original brochure or flyer (fact sheet) including the information you researched. You will make enough copies to distribute in class (1 for each classmate and your instructor).

Curriculum Model Name 2. Teacher’s role 3. The curriculum goals and pedagogical strategies (include curriculum philosophy) 4. The assessment, evaluation, and documentation strategies 5.
