The federal public secondary school was chosen to collect the data. Based on the results of the innovation configuration map (IC) on a list of potential participants, three schools were chosen. Before the final school site decision, a request for participation was made to all participating schools, with the administrators of each school participating. The information from the respondents was gathered using the purposive sampling technique. Student observations, focus group teacher interviews, and head interviews were used to gather data. To analyze the data, the researcher used NVivo 11 to interpret the results. The study results revealed that knowledge, abilities, and good communication among students, teachers, family & community are the best skills and practices indicated for decision-making. Curriculum designers should revisit the self-awareness competencies & practices in the curriculum.
