Do Others Know Your Course is Designed to Teach the Proper Material?

Your course outline might look great but who says that what is on the outline is important?

In education’s current quest for accountability, do the appropriate agencies know that your curriculum is designed to teach what is important?

Linking your curriculum to the standards- You Are The Expert

You are the expert in your field of instruction.

You know what your curriculum is.

You are the best person on this staff to be able to link your curriculum to the appropriate standards.

California Department of Education- California Career Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards Grades Seven Through Twelve

Review the Foundation Standards

Review the list of Foundation Standards

Familiarize yourself with each of the Foundation Standards

Know them well enough to be able to link them with your items in your curriculum.

Review the CTE Career Pathway Standards For Your Course(s)

Review the list of CTE Career Pathway Standards

Familiarize yourself with each of the Career Pathway CTE Standards

Know them well enough to be able to link them with your items in your curriculum.

Lumpers and Splitters

Lumpers- take several like items and put them together as one large unit

Advantage- less items to manage

Splitters- take an item and divide it into several smaller pieces. Advantage- can take special note of minute differences

Today, We Are Lumpers

When aligning standards to our curriculum, we are going to lump like items together.It is easier and still accomplishes what we need to do- does the linking and show that your courses are teaching what needs to be taught.We don’t want to lump EVERYTHING together…..just like items. “Safety” covers safe use of power tools, use of appropriate safety equipment, how to handle flammable material, etc… These are all lumped under “safety.”

Not All Curricula Are Created Equal

Some course curricula are written with “content skills”

Some are written in outline format with main topics and individual tasks.

Other formats are used also.

Know your curriculum.

Linking

Look at each major topic/outline item/etc. in your curriculum.

Find the CTE Foundation Standards that corresponds to that item. Write the Foundation Standards numbers down for each item.

Find CTE Career Pathway Standards that correspond to major items. Write the CTE Standard numbers down for each item.

Example For Medical Assisting Pathway

Outline item:VI. Safety

a. Knowledge of International Hospital Code System

b. Triage Codes & Preparedness

c. General Safety & Injury Illness Precautions
