BACKGROUND

The CPR and every curriculum unit provide the correlation between the recommended activities and their related SOL objectives.

The results of this work will provide teachers with additional tools with which to construct high-quality learning experiences within their classroom.

All of these units will be available to all teachers through the internal curriculum website (rpstech.org).

How Did We Get Here?

What is an “aligned curriculum?”

“…the degree to which expectations and assessments are in agreement and service in conjunction with one another to guide the system towards students learning what they are expected to know and do.”
