The Parallel Curriculum Model tells us:

=Parallel Curriculum Connections - Core = == · Ensure students develop a framework of knowledge, understanding and skills that prepare them for a journey toward expertise in a subject area or discipline. ==

· Reflects what experts in the discipline find most important
== · Is taught in contexts that are authentic to the discipline and meaningful to students, and in ways that are mentally and affectively inviting to students. == == · Engages students in worthwhile production that uses understandings and skills central to the discipline to address problems, dilemmas, and issues also central to the discipline. ==

=Parallel Curriculum Connections - Connections = == · <span style="color: #969696; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It asks students to look at how the concepts or skills influenced by various people, varying perspectives, and/or different conditions (e.g., economic, political, social, or technological circumstances). == == · <span style="color: #969696; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It asks students to see how particular concepts, principles and/or skills are manifested in other facets of a discipline, across disciplines, in other times or time periods, in other places or in some combination of those possibilities. ==

In the process, students are asked not only to engage in the work of professionals but also to examine the habits, affect, and ethics that permeate the work. ==

· <span style="color: #969696; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Distinguish between relevant and less critical information for particular tasks in the field.
== · <span style="color: #969696; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Become acquainted with, and ultimately responsible for, the use of resources and methods that professionals in the field use to teach themselves. ==
