Introduction

The Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning (Kritsonis, 2007) is a philosophy for selecting the curriculum for general education. The organizational core of any school is its instruction. The curriculum and its broader objectives is a critical topic in every planning cycle or strategic performance system. Long term strategic plans, action plans, strategic thinking or SWOT analysis must have issues of curriculum and instruction Planning is reflexive and implies that schools are more than just inert pawns in the hands of socioeconomic forces (Holmes, Wootten, Motion, Zorn, & Roper, 2005).  Strategic planning in education must have as its primary goal student achievements. If this is so the approach in any strategic plan will be a unitary philosophy of the curriculum with a strategy for reference to the meaningful relationships to the other components of the curriculum. When this is the case, we right away have a postmodern understanding of what it means to give meaning to the human experience through a solid foundation established by the six patterns in the realms of meaning namely symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics and synoptics (Kritsonis & Watkins, 2007).   Since strategic planning in schools should command the attention of the curriculum then the strategic planning of the curriculum requires strategic and tactical decision making. With regard to the ordering of content, the relevant teaching materials should simplify learners’ task. The thinking should make their modes of thought less transient while at the same time allowing them to actively assimilate pragmatically and constructively throughout their student centered adventure (Dolence, 2004).
