INSTRUCTION

Curriculum/Generally

Excellence cannot be achieved or maintained without a high quality curriculum for all students. The basis for a high quality curriculum in all disciplines is an articulated K-12 philosophy and goals. The curriculum is a coherent and comprehensive plan for teaching and learning built upon a framework that moves students toward learning goals. Each curriculum is composed of the School Board approved objectives and comprehensive/interrelated units of study, based on VBCPS framework. The VBCPS framework components are content standards, assessments, introductory activities, teaching strategies, products, resources, extension activities, and modifications/differentiation.
