Curriculum, Instruction & Learning Resources

Our instructional approach is grounded in Colorado Academic Standards and supported by curriculum, assessment, intervention, and enrichment resources designed to meet the needs of all learners.

Families can learn more about Colorado's requirements for literacy curriculum transparency through the Colorado Department of Education.

Standards-Based Teaching and Learning

Standards-based education is an ongoing cycle of teaching, learning, assessment, and response designed to ensure students develop the knowledge and skills outlined in the Colorado Academic Standards.

Teachers regularly assess student learning in a variety of ways and use that information to adjust instruction, provide additional support, or extend learning for students who have already demonstrated mastery.

This cycle centers on four essential questions:

  1. What do students need to know, understand, and be able to do?
  2. How do we teach effectively to ensure students are learning?
  3. How do we know students are learning?
  4. How do we respond when students need additional support or demonstrate mastery ahead of expectations?
