2230 CURRICULUM GUIDES
The Board of Education directs the preparation of a guide for each approved course of study in order to
direct and assist teaching staff members toward the attainment of goals addressed by that course.
Each curriculum guide will contain, as appropriate to the course of study, content standards; objectives,
concepts, and skills to be taught; attitudes and appreciations to be developed; suggested activities
designed to achieve the objectives; suggested methods of instruction; performance indicators; evaluation
criteria intended to test the extent to which learning objectives have been achieved; and a reading list of
supplemental titles for the guidance of teachers.
The curriculum guides will be the basic instructional tool for each course of study.
Each teacher shall conduct the course of study as required by the curriculum guide. Any deviation from
the content of the guide must be approved by the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction,
and Assessment in advance of its implementation.
The Superintendent shall be responsible for the preparation of curriculum guides, and shall develop a plan
for such preparation that includes the participation of appropriate staff members and resource personnel;
the participation of members of the community; the participation of pupils at appropriate grade levels;
continuing research in instructional methods, materials, and activities; systematic review of all curriculum
guides to ensure their continuing usefulness in achieving goals set by the Board; and a system of
administrative review to ensure that curriculum guides are being followed by teaching staff members to the
degree of conformity desired by the Board.
All new curriculum guides and revisions of existing guides shall be submitted to the Board for approval
before they are implemented. Copies of all current curriculum guides shall be kept on file in the office of
the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
