K-12 Curriculum
Curriculum serves as the framework for planned instruction and is designed in a way that will result in achievement for all students. Curriculum in Pennridge is designed to meet or exceed academic standards and consists of the following components:
The administration and faculty of Pennridge School District are committed to the development of a curriculum that balances the core skills and knowledge contained within the state's academic standards with the development of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and research skills known to prepare students for success in meeting their college and/or career goals after graduation.
Curriculum maps are tools Pennridge School District teachers use to keep track of what has been taught. These maps also serve as a roadmap or plan of what will be taught. The creation of a curriculum map includes collecting and recording curriculum data that identifies core content and skills, processes used, and assignments for each grade level and subject area.
