Mathematics Curriccululum Guide
Implementations Timeline

Grades K-5 and Grades 9-12

The CSRA Hub Curriculum Leadership Institute (CLI) teachers in Aiken County participated in a June workshop for the purpose of developing a standard's based instructional aid for teachers. A new document, A Guidebook for Teachrs and Administrators: Using Standards to Drive Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment was produced in the statewide workshop sponsored by the State Department of Education and the SC Statewide Systemic Initiative.

To facilitate dissemination and expansion of the Guidebook, several regional sessions were held this summer for district representatives in various areas around the state. The CLI teachers will assist in this effort by helping to familiarizing other K-12 teachers of Aiken County with this new document, the new SC Curriculum Standards, the new Aiken County Science and Mathematics Curriculum Guides and the Sc Accountability Act. All of these documents will impact student performance on the new Palmetto Academic Challenge Test (PACT), Model lessons, which include sample Guidebook and Aiken County Curriculum Guide modules.

The CLI teachers will work with the Aiken County Curriculum Guide Committee in the scheduled monthly grade-level sessions beginning in September. These sessions for K-12 teachers on the alignment of local curriculum guides and the SC Curriculum Standards will be a continuation of the August District Inservices.
