The CORE® Curriculum is intended to promote the interests and further educate court professionals. The thirteen curricula are broken in to modules, principle, vision, and practice and define and demonstrate how they integrate into everyday work and in different type of courts.
Users of the CORE® can choose to learn by reading each curriculum set or by participating in the CORE® Champion program.
More advanced users can utilize the curriculum to structure and teach their own sessions in each competency.
Certificates are only awarded through the CORE® Champion Program.
The purpose of the CORE® Champion Program is four-fold:
To participate, NACM members attend qualified sessions or view qualified recorded sessions, complete and submit a structured response form, this form is reviewed by a committee for credit. Certificates are awarded for milestones throughout the program. To obtain the final CORE® Champion award, members must submit a short essay regarding what they learned and how they will apply the curriculum in their court.
