1 Curricular Documentation Science Pam Jones Curriculum Coordinator 1

2 The following curricular documents reflect a collaborative effort by the teachers and administrators of the to meet the Arkansas Learning Standards: From the Arkansas Department of Education: Arkansas Learning Standards are defined in the Arkansas Curriculum Frameworks, which are discipline-based and clearly describe what students must know and be able to do in each academic content area. The rigorous academic content standards and the student learning expectations within each document provide the focus for instruction for each local school district, without rigidly prescribing every element of the local curriculum. Student demonstration of the standards and learning expectations within the Arkansas Curriculum Frameworks is the anchor for the entire education system, with instructional programs, state-level assessments, professional development, school improvement planning, teacher/administrator licensure, and accountability sharing the common goal of improved student learning and performance around these standards. 2
