Preferred term

legal decisions and curriculum practices  

Definition

  • Since early attempts by state legislatures to formalize public school systems and standardize curriculum, the courts have played a critical role in shaping the requirements and limits of curriculum. The greatest impact of case law on school curriculum is on the role of religion, but litigation over school finance, secular values, and student equity has also affected curriculum practice.
