CURRICULUM-AT-A-GLANCE

Instruction will be based on student needs as indicated by formative and summative

assessments. Once a standard, concept, theme, and/or vocabulary word is presented it
continues to be developed and practiced throughout the course and in succeeding
grades. Standards outside the instructional unit may be used for remediation and
enrichment.
