By clearly defining learning objectives, instructional strategies, and assessment methods, a well-designed curriculum ensures that all students receive a high-quality education grounded in artistic rigor and educational best practices. The curriculum ensures that instruction is intentional, inclusive, and impactful. It provides a framework for artistic excellence, academic integrity, and lifelong engagement with the arts.
