This document outlines criteria for developing curriculum content and selecting appropriate content. It discusses analyzing student needs, addressing skills for future careers, ensuring the "big ideas" are covered, and using a variety of principles like validity, comprehensiveness, variety, suitability, cumulative tendency, multiple learning, and relevance.
