This document discusses the SPICES model, an analytical technique for curriculum development, review, and evaluation. The SPICES model can be used to (1) review existing curricula, (2) develop new curricula, and (3) tackle specific questions about curricula. Considering each of the six issues in the SPICES model (Student-centered, Problem-based, Integrated, Community-based, Elective, Systematic) can provide a framework for meaningful discussion and help ensure curricula align with school objectives. Decisions related to teaching methods and assessment should also take the SPICES issues into account.
