⊕ Intersections & Connections Curriculum Reflects Over Ten Years of Research and Development
The expertise of historians, archivists, librarians, classroom teachers, curriculum designers, instructional coaches, and education policy leaders is woven into every aspect of the curriculum and professional learning and reflects over ten years of research and development. A hallmark of Intersections & Connections is perpetuity and sustainability which includes ongoing refinements, content additions, and privacy and security vigilance.
