Implementation of the Curriculum

Implementation of the Curriculum
Secured at least minimal support from appropriate authorities
Effective programmes obtained approval from relevant authorities in order to access support, obtain approval
or authorise research.
educators with desired characteristics (whenever possible), trained them, and provided monitoring,
supervision, and support
Some programmes were implemented by classroom teachers while others recruited educators with a relevant
professional background. Neither the age (adult versus peer) nor gender nor the race of the educator
is important. What makes a difference is the ability of the educator to relate to young people. Almost all
programmes provided training for educators in the implementation of the curriculum.
Implemented activities to recruit and retain young people
If necessary, effective programmes actively recruited students and avoided or overcame obstacles to participation.
For example, parents were notifi ed and students were informed about the programme and provided
with transport.
Implemented curricula with reasonable fi delity
Effective programmes implemented all or nearly all of the activities in the curriculum.
