All I can say is WOW! Already ten responses with some very serious
implications that we need to consider:

Is a curriculum of any sort too limiting, and too limited?

Are there other words that we could use; outcomes of teaching and learning;
framework; curriculum guide; outline. (We may need our more scholarly
members to provide some definitions to help us on our way with this
question.)

Sequential, step by step programs do not seem to fit the bill (I could not
agree more!)

Rather, ideas, the importance of integration, offers alternatives or
extended learning activities, or a package that contains a student workbook,
a teacher lesson plan book and a best practices journal with user's comments
and additions? (Thanks to: Susanna Scott Suchak), materials/guides on
integrating Adult Ed topics into the PACT time (Jan Delay) seem to fit the
bill a little better.

By the way these are your words!

Please keep your insights and knowledge coming!

Jon
