In order to be successful and ensure all content is aligned consistently each teacher is expected to follow the designated instructional model with fidelity.  

Our instructional models, when implemented with fidelity ensure that our students experience both a horizontal and vertically aligned learning experience from school-to-school and from class-to-class. 

Science is meant to be taught on a daily basis using the SOL.1 standard – Science Process Skills. Each day we hope to see lessons that are taught by engaging students in experimenting, predicting, collecting data, and more. Students should go through the full scientific process weekly. As related to pacing, it should not be taught in isolation.

In order to be successful and ensure all content is aligned consistently to the cognitive demand that the Virginia Standards of Learning require, each teacher is expected to follow the designated pacing guide for the content. 

Our pacing and curriculum come from the Comprehensive Instructional Program (CIP). Our weekly pacing guides are derived from the CIP pacing overview.
