Defining & Aligning Local Curricula Summer Institute 2011

The approach to curriculum is multifaceted, incorporating three core components: the Written Curriculum, which outlines critical expectations; the Taught Curriculum, which emphasizes essential outcomes and relevant information; and the Tested Curriculum, which assesses student skills and understanding.

Proper alignment enables teachers and students to meet academic standards effectively through structured instruction and assessment.
