Primes

• Operational Period
  • Fiscal years and quarters: budgets set per period and reassessed at boundaries, with within-period movements constrained. Education: the semester or term, fixing curriculum and commitment for a period, with grading and enrolment at the boundary.
• Operationalization

    This sourceThe backward-design framework lowers curriculum standards (desired learning outcomes) into assessments, units, and classroom activities — the education instance of operationalization.

• Guided Research Question
