What do we teach each DAY?
PACING
To ensure that all content is covered during the school year and that it is aligned to the cognitive demand that the Virginia Standards of Learning require, each teacher is expected to follow the designated pacing guide for their content. Our pacing process is a 2 step process:
Begin with CIP Pacing Quarterly Pacing:
Our initial pacing comes from the Comprehensive Instructional Program (CIP). CIP provides each content area with "SOL pacing per quarter". You can locate your CIP initial pacing document using the links below.
We use the CIP Quarterly Pacing as our starting place. This tells us what will be tested at the end of each quarter per the Quarterly CIP Benchmark Assessment.
Develop your Daily Pacing:
Once you have located your CIP pacing document, you are now ready to take the CIP pacing document and develop your day-to-day pacing guide.
You must teach all skills on the quarterly pacing withing the same quarter of the daily pacing guide.
Your template to create your daily pacing guide can be found in the link below.

How do we PLAN for it?
ALIGNMENT & PLANNING
In order to ensure we have a viable curriculum, we must make sure our lesson plans are aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning. We know that the written, taught, and tested curriculum must be aligned to achieve the result of excellence in academic performance for our students and the ECPS Team. Reference the resources below designed to unpack what it means in ECPS to plan for instruction.
