Features: School-based curriculum development is not just a trendy slogan, but a genuine educational reform movement. School-based curriculum development breaks the monopoly of national curricula, breaks the communication barrier between curriculum designers and implementers, and breaks the disconnect between students and their real lives. School-based curriculum development helps in the implementation and improvement of school curricula, enhances the professional level of teachers, fosters the development of individuality and the realization of potential in students, and promotes the democratization of educational decision-making. The goal of school-based curriculum development is to "get all schools moving," to "have all teachers stand up," to "let all students take flight," and to "ensure all educational participants communicate."
