Academy Work Group Checklist

This checklist was created by the SHS/BTC Curriculum Committee to assist Academy Work groups in the development of their Academy. We view this as a working tool with broad areas that could apply to most subjects. The checklist will hopefully give us some consistency as we develop new programs. Please send all comments, suggestions, improvements to: spauldinglibrarian@adelphia.net.

Thanks!
