The Education and Behavioral Sciences Library has several resource tools to help you locate sample curricula and curriculum guides. There are also web sites to locate information on curriculum guides. You may need to design a curriculum guide for 6th grade English Language Arts, or 11th grade Industrial Arts, or 4th grade Visual Arts, but there is no need to reinvent the wheel or start from the scratch. Use these this sampling of the many resources from our collection to help you.
