CURRICULUM GUIDES
The Superintendent shall oversee development of curriculum guides for every course and area of study for every grade level. Each guide shall contain objectives for concepts and skills to be taught; suggested materials and activities designed to achieve all of these; and evaluation criteria intended to test the extent to which learning objectives have been met. Curriculum guides shall include all requirements of the Core Curriculum Content Standards. Teachers shall use the guides as the core of the courses that they have been assigned to teach. In subjects where sequence is important-such as mathematics-teachers are expected to adhere to the guide. In subjects where sequential learning is less important, the teacher may be given a greater degree of freedom in respect to sequence. In all cases, sufficient latitude is permitted to provide the teacher with time to teach the current, topical, and incidental information which add to motivation and meaningful teaching and learning. It shall be the responsibility of the building principal to ensure that curriculum guides are being followed. A copy of each guide in use shall be kept on file in each school office. New curriculum guides or any revision to an existing guide shall be submitted to the Board of Education for study and approval. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all additions, changes or deletions to existing guides. Date: April 14, 1986 October 29, 2001 First Reading November 19, 2001 Approved |
