The definition of curriculum varies widely in the educational world. However, the following link best defines an overall view of **[|curriculum]** today. In today's world of technology, most state's post their Standards on the Worldwide Web (Internet). In formal education, a **curriculum** (pronounced /kəˈrɪkjʉləm/ ; plural: **curricula**, /kəˈrɪkjʉlə/ or **curriculums**) is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. As an idea, **curriculum** refers to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow to become mature adults. A curriculum is prescriptive, and is based on a more general syllabus which merely specifies what topics must be understood and to what level to achieve a particular grade or standard. An example of a curriculum page can be found at [].

The PA web site SAS also gives you a database for curriculum ideas according to the Standards. []
