From Mandate to Achievement: 5 Steps to a Curriculum System That Works!

This book for Ku12 school leaders and curriculum specialists leads educators step by step through curriculum planning and development processes - from data analysis to alignment, mapping, pacing, assessment, and monitoring. The completion of each of these phases results in the creation of curriculum documents and curriculum benchmarks. With these documents a district will know: what academic expectations they are expected to teach and test in what grade or class; where the data gaps are for each academic expectation; where and when the expectations will be taught and the materials necessary to teach them; and, how to use a common assessment to test the expectations within grades or subjects.
