It has been our initiative to offer our students a comprehensive curriculum that is parallel to the NYS core curriculum in each content area. In 2006/2007 curriculum teams were formed to create curriculum guides complete with course outlines, core curriculum, glossaries and course descriptions. A component that we are adding is curriculum mapping. This should provide teachers, administrators, parents and most importantly the student with a road map as to what to expect in each course. This map is a suggested guide to be used as a reference. All parties involved should be aware that the teachers are obligated by individual student needs to modify curriculum and instruction to best suit each student. Adding these curriculum maps will provide more structure to delivery of instruction and help to better prepare our students for exams, college and most importantly life.
