Core Curriculum

A core curriculum is a set of educational goals and subjects that all students are expected to learn at a specific grade level. It includes both explicitly taught subjects and implicit lessons learned from a school's organization, activities, and culture. A core curriculum encompasses all content, activities, and experiences within a school, including the sequence of taught subjects, extracurricular programs, behavioral expectations, and implicit lessons learned from the school environment and schedule. An observed curriculum refers to what is actually taught in the classroom, which may differ from the intended official curriculum due to various factors related to teachers, students, resources, or the school organization.
