Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between school-based curriculum development and the creation of school characteristics, as well as the practical paths. First, it explains that characteristic schools must possess uniqueness, quality, and stability, emphasizing the importance of considering school and student conditions. Then it points out that both are interdependent, with the school-based curriculum serving as the carrier of characteristics, and characteristics determining curriculum direction, forming a virtuous cycle. Finally, it illustrates how to build characteristic schools through school-based curriculum development in four steps: positioning, development, implementation, and evaluation.
