Grade 10-12 Curriculum Overview and Update Opening Remarks

Curriculum: The Design

Curriculum: The Design Content (Know) The content learning standards — the “Know” of the know -do-understand model of learning — detail the essential topics and knowledge at each grade level. The content students should KNOW Curricular Competencies (Do) The curricular competencies are the skills, strategies, and processes that students develop over time. They reflect the "do" in the know-do- understand model of learning. While curricular competencies are more subject-specific, they are connected to the core competencies. The competencies students should DO Big Ideas (Understand) The big ideas consist of generalizations and principles and the key concepts important in an area of learning. They reflect the "understand" component of the know-do-understand model of learning. The big ideas represent what students will understand at the completion of the curriculum for their grade. They are intended to endure beyond a single grade and contribute to future understanding. The big ideas students should UNDERSTAND
