USD #449 Easton Curriculum, Instruction & Assessments
Curriculum…
Curriculum refers to what is taught to students in each subject area every year a student is in school. Curriculum involves the proper pacing and arrangement of learning objectives, ensuring there is an effective and cohesive progression of student learning.
Our district is committed to delivering a high-quality education to all students by fostering challenging and supportive academic settings tailored to the unique needs of each student. Our teachers are committed to creating an environment conducive to learning and growth. The district employs a continuous improvement model that ensures a dynamic curriculum, subject to regular reviews and updates to maintain its relevance and effectiveness. According to the Kansas Department of Education, "Kansas Curricular Standards provide information on what students should know and be able to do at different grade levels. Kansas curricular standards are guidelines school districts can use to develop their curriculum. They are not the curriculum. In Kansas, each school district develops its own curriculum and teachers decide on how they will provide instruction to ensure student learning. The Kansas State Department of Education reviews its curricular standards at least every seven years. The assessed curricular standards are English Language Arts, English Language Proficiency, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies." To access the curricular standards, please visit KSDE's Curriculum Standards page.
Instruction…
Instruction is how we teach. Teachers use evidence-based practices to teach and reinforce each student's growth and development as part of their academic instruction. Our Board Adopted Curriculum Resources can be found at this link.
Assessments…
Assessments are used to determine what students know and are able to do. Using a variety of assessments, teachers analyze curriculum and instruction to determine which concepts need more time or which students might benefit from additional support.
In our district, students take Kansas Assessments (3-8, 10-11), Fastbridge (preK-11),
preACT (9, 10), ACT (11) & WorkKeys (11).
