    • Continuity
      • "Smoothness or the absence of disruptions in the curriculum over time"
      • Example: Curriculum A: H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, Curriculum B: H, G,-, E, D,- ,B, A, Curriculum C: H, G, F, E, C, D, B, A (Curricula B and C lack continuity)
    • Integration (Articulation)
      • "Integration is linking of all types of knowledge and experiences contained within the curriculum plan"
      • "It emphasizes a relationship among various content topics and themes involving all domains of knowledge organized"
    • Balance
      • "When designing a curriculum, educators are also concerned that appropriate weight be given to each aspect of the design so that distortions do not occur"
