At the core of the LHS approach to the creation of quality instructional materials is the principle that good curricula are developed by teams. While individuals can create initial drafts, exemplary curricular development involves the evolution, refinement, and improvement of the materials by people other than the individual author. Writing, development, and revision work should be collaborative and draw upon the strengths of the group.
LHS curriculum materials receive peer and expert review as well as rigorous trial testing to ensure educational effectiveness and practical application. Testing takes place in the classroom, with community or family groups, or whichever audience the curricula serve. One "hallmark" of LHS materials is that they work with the intended audience.
The LHS Center for Curriculum Development and Implementation is a team effort led by LHS Associate Director Jacqueline Barber.
