Purpse and Use f the Dcuments The Curriculum Guide represents an articulatin f what students shuld knw and be able t d. The Curriculum Guide supprts teachers in knwing hw t help students achieve the gals f the new standards and understanding each standard cnceptually. It shuld be used as a tl t assist teachers in planning and implementing a high quality instructinal prgram. The At-a-Glance prvides a snapsht f the recmmended pacing f instructin acrss a semester r year. Learning targets ( I can statements) and Criteria fr Success ( I will statements) have been created by ISS teachers and are embedded in the Curriculum Guide t break dwn each standard and describe what a student shuld knw and be able t d t reach the gal f that standard. The academic vcabulary r cntent language is listed under each standard. There are 30-40 wrds in bld in each subject area that shuld be taught t mastery. The unpacking sectin f the Curriculum Guide cntains rich infrmatin and examples f what the standard means; this sectin is an essential cmpnent t help bth teachers and students understand the standards. Teachers will be asked t give feedback thrughut the year t cntinually imprve their Curriculum Guides.
