This document discusses different approaches to curriculum development, including concentric, spiral, and topical approaches. The concentric approach presents topics at a general level initially and builds on them each year according to student development. The spiral approach also builds on topics each year while maintaining continuity. The topical approach deals with topics as comprehensive collections of related learning materials to provide a holistic understanding of an area before moving to another topic. An example for each approach is provided for how geography education could be structured.
