BOARD OF EDUCATION
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.
