CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT

Curriculum standards must be adapted to ensure students learn the critical skills and knowledge to succeed in the global economy. Establishing strong curriculum standards goes hand-in-hand with ensuring education systems have robust and balanced assessment approaches that measure students’ knowledge and skills in each content domain, and track improvements to ensure students meet national, international and regional curriculum standards. Information Communications Technologies support curriculum standards by enabling eLearning environments with rich digital media and powerful tools.

Working together to improve curriculum and assessment

Intel invests in assessment through its Intel^® Teach professional development courses and free K-12 resources, as well as working with government and industry.
