OPERATIONALIZING A SYSTEMICALLY
                    INTEGRATED CURRICULUM

A free, “hands on,” student-centered course of study illustrating a general education curriculum that makes formal use of our “natural” approach to organizing knowledge is available.  Titled, Investigating Systems, and suitable for adolescents and older learners, it can be accessed and downloaded at:

Because the course deals with knowledge generally and comprehensively, it can be coordinated with or superimposed on the traditional curriculum without bureaucratic change.  However, because any departure from traditional practice in mainstream instruction is likely to be strenuously resisted, pilot and experimental programs are most likely to be acceptable by those working with learners either so far advanced or so far behind their performance on the usual performance measures are of little concern.
