Clearly written curricular documents that identify the specific knowledge and skills (academic objectives) students will acquire by grade level and subject area exist at the district level. A parent or teacher can read the documents and understand what a child is expected to learn by the end of the year. These documents cite academic objectives that extend beyond those tested by the state.

Students achieve at the proficiency standard or higher on the state assessment.

Pre-K 12 Vertical Teams of teachers organized by subject meet regularly to continually review and refine the district curriculum.

When asked, the principal and teachers know exactly what is to be taught and learned at each grade level. This knowledge reflects an exact match to the written curricular documents.
