Definition
- Curriculum auditing refers to the practices, language, and values of audit culture as these are applied to curriculum, defined as the design, delivery, and evaluation of the formal content of K–higher education. Although the first known use of a curriculum audit, titled an educational performance audit, occurred in 1979 in the Columbus, Ohio, school district, curriculum auditing was initially formulated in the early 1970s as a way to establish public trust in schools by introducing auditing practices used in financial sectors.
