Benefits of Curriculum Alignment and PLCs-

 

  • A curriculum revision starting in 2015 phased in Common Core-aligned expectations to all schools, including higher expectations and more emphasis on non-fiction reading.

  • The curriculum reforms were phased in one subject at a time over a six-year period, accompanied by teacher training.

  • Students in DoD schools are using similar curriculum materials at each grade level across all the schools.

  • Collaboration among teachers is required, with team meetings built into the schedule.

  • DoD schools are philosophically committed to raising the floor of teaching effectiveness for all classrooms, compared to a “pockets of excellence” approach implicitly embraced by many other schools.
