and resource selections to help them meet academic needs
and challenges.
• All core departments have developed courses of study that
align content standards, include avenues of choices within
the assignments, and departments in grades 9‐12 (K‐8 in
process) use common assessments and/or benchmarks.
• Staff is very responsive to student and parent needs and
monitors student progress on a regular basis.
• Student learning plans, curriculum maps, course outlines,
student placement, and other curricular components are
viewed as pieces in process; updates and revisions take
place frequently.
CURRICULUM AREAS OF GROWTH
• Develop student‐monitored learning plans and additional
levels of support for SMART goal setting and monitoring.
• Develop more coordination and alignment of curricular
expectations between programs.
• Develop additional K‐8 benchmark or other informal
assessments for home school students to assess mastery of
concepts in relation to state standards.
