Our Viable Learner Outcomes for each content area K-12 are designed based on the national standards and organized into progressions of learning. Our structure overtime will meet the following criteria:

• Our learning community has and uses an explicit Model of Curriculum to communicate the learning outcomes to learners and their families
• Our learning goals include enabling concepts (know/understand), skills (is skilled at), and dispositions/habits of mind (be like)
• Our National/State standards are unpacked with identified measured topics for all content areas
• Our curriculum organizes the MT"s into Marzano's Scoring Scale format; Identifies the targeted knowledge for levels 4,3,2
• Our learning goals are categorized into a "how best learned" format (e.g seminar, labs, online, workshops, mentorships, individual or group projects)
• Our learning goals best learned online are put online

(This criteria is being met over time but as our progressions are refined and we build technology, learning facilitator, and community capacity our goal is to meet them all)

Our Instructional Design Model for Curriculum at the classroom level will be based on the 3 centric circles of instructional design. Our goal is to provide learners with the "Ideal Learning Experiences" that promote the 5 Focus areas of Motivation, Engagement, and Achievement ( Inviting Schools, Learning by Doing, Higher Order Thinking, Student Voice & Choice, Real World Connections).

The instructional design and learning progressions model is founded in research and theory of the Dimensions of Learning.
