Curriculum Guides

A curriculum guide shall be prescribed for each course of study offered within the school district. For purposes of this policy, a curriculum guide shall contain the objectives of the course of study, concepts and skills to be taught, necessary prerequisite skills and/or knowledge, materials to be used, suggested activities designed to achieve the objectives, and criteria to be used to determine the extent to which objectives have been achieved. A guide may be in the form of a district-developed manual, a commercially-developed product or a textbook accompanied with a teacher's manual. Each teacher shall conduct the assigned course of study in accordance with the guide. Any deviation from its content must be approved by the building principal. The superintendent shall be responsible for the preparation, distribution and use of curriculum guides. Copies of curriculum guides shall be available for public inspection
