1 Bible History 3 High School Curriculum Guide Iredell-Statesville Schools

2 Purpose and Use of the Documents The Curriculum Guide represents an articulation of what students should know and be able to do. The Curriculum Guide supports teachers in knowing how to help students achieve the goals of the new standards and understanding each standard conceptually. It should be used as a tool to assist teachers in planning and implementing a high quality instructional program. The At-a-Glance provides a snapshot of the recommended pacing of instruction across a semester or year. Learning targets ( I can statements) and Criteria for Success ( I will statements) have been created by ISS teachers and are embedded in the Curriculum Guide to break down each standard and describe what a student should know and be able to do to reach the goal of that standard. The academic vocabulary or content language is listed under each standard. There are words in bold in each subject area that should be taught to mastery. The unpacking section of the Curriculum Guide contains rich information and examples of what the standard means; this section is an essential component to help both teachers and students understand the standards. Teachers will be asked to give feedback throughout the year to continually improve their Curriculum Guides.
