Expectations for teachers:
- The District Curriculum Guide and state standards are aligned with units to help plan, focus, and timeline of skills and content with the board-adopted curriculum.
- Teachers will follow the Pacing Guide & use the adopted materials in instruction. Some curated items are provided and linked in the curriculum guides.
- Resources are curated specifically for the standards and approved by the district. Outside materials should not be utilized but can be submitted for curation.
- Curriculum guides have materials and features that are also public-facing. They show the public district-approved text and supplemental source materials so they can preview beforehand. This includes websites, videos, and primary and secondary source text.
- Daily Pledge of Allegiance and a Moment of Silence + Declaration of Independence.
- Please introduce the Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence and Preamble to the Constitution to students starting in 4th grade during the year.
- This is done during the 1st hour, during school announcements, or the day.
