We are staying the course of our current instructional standards rather than
reverting solely to the state’s pre-2010 standards….basically the P. A. S. S.
Since the early 1990s our district curriculum alignment process has always
emphasized and used national standards as the framework for instruction. The
JPS Continua (our standards document) is based on the work of national
organizations….the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National
Science Foundation, the Common Core State Standards development
consortium, to name just a few. Framing “what” we teach from these
perspectives provides a thoroughness and complexity that prepares our students
for college and career opportunities.
A key part of the JPS Continua document is the integration of the state objectives
(the P. A. S. S., Oklahoma Academic Standards). The district committee uses the
framework of the national standards to thoughtfully place and align the state’s
standards, so students experience instruction that is systematic, with a pace and
alignment that build in depth and rigor from year to year….pre-kindergarten-12th
grade.
Through the integration of P.A.S.S./Oklahoma Academic Standards and the
national standards, we are well within in the guidelines of HB3399.
