Abstract	In most school systems today, curriculum development is the work of specialists who function as consultants to classroom teachers, administrators, and school boards. An alternative is the Citizen/Teacher Curriculum Council (C/TCC) approach, which calls for direct involvement of community members and classroom teachers in curriculum development. The C/TCC would function in an advisory capacity to the school district's program specialists, administrators, and school board; in turn, academic specialists and curriculum developers would counsel the C/TCC on technical matters. To ensure a minimum level of qualifications for C/TCC members, the school district should develop appropriate training programs in curriculum development. Because of the differing background and training of council members, separate training programs for professional and lay members of the C/TCC would be advisable. While the C/TCC model emphasizes direct teacher and citizen participation in curriculum development, it is not meant to exclude administrators. Rather, the structure of the C/TCC process should guarantee the interaction of administrators, teachers, community members, and specialist consultants. (Author/JG)
