Curriculum

Guiding Principles for Educators

The following principles guide our decisions in deciding what standards-based curriculum to teach. 

# 1

We believe in transparency when communicating the goals and plans of our standards-aligned curriculum so that staff, students, and families develop a shared understanding of what is being taught and why.

# 2

We believe in implementing our curriculum with integrity so that students are taught what they are expected to learn, as defined by the standards.

# 3

We believe in treating students with dignity and respect by immersing them in grade-level curriculum because we believe every learner is capable of reaching high standards.

# 4

We believe in a diverse and equitable curriculum in which learners see themselves in what they are being taught (mirrors/identity) and feel valued, gain exposure to other cultures (windows) and actively engage in a curriculum that immerses them in these worlds (doors).

#5

We believe in a curriculum that provides opportunities for teamwork where students collaborate and feel a shared responsibility for one another as they work towards a common goal. 

#6

We believe in reviewing and adopting high-quality, evidence-based curriculum materials to ensure every student has access to the courses, knowledge and skills they need to grow.
