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.
