  17. Summary Curriculum is a statement of what students should know, be able to do, how it is taught, how it is measured, and how the educational system is organized. Curriculum can be approached as content (knowledge, skills and values), product (desired learning outcomes) and process (interactions in the classroom). Curriculum development is a process involving planning, designing, implementation and evaluation.

The relationship between curriculum and instruction is interdependent, continuous, repeated and never-ending.
