Proposed 4-Year Curriculum Outline
 


Overview


The curricula at Sun Valley Charter School will be designed not only to inform and inspire students, but also to prepare them for entrance into institutions of higher learning and for real life. The curricula will be standards based, consistent with state standards. They will also be integrated across traditional subject boundaries. Along with being integrated laterally, the curricula will be sequenced vertically, with each year building on the knowledge gained the previous year. Finally, within each course, the curriculum will be differentiated, to allow advanced placement and low achieving students to maximize their learning experience.

This plan will include a discussion of the steps we will take to develop our curricula. At the end of this plan, we have included a sample of how standards can be integrated within a particular course.



Standards


Sun Valley Charter School will provide its students with standards-based curricula. In developing its own set of standards, SVCS will review national, state, and local standards. Ultimately, the standards developed by SVCS shall be consistent with those of the state. However, we will present some courses in a different sequence and will teach some subjects not usually taught in high school, i.e. ancient civilizations (eastern and western) and earth sciences.

Sun Valley Charter School will advise all parents of new students on enrollment forms that there may not be a sequential alignment of curricula between RHS and SVCS. They will be told that, in the event of transfer to RHS or another high school, they may need to take coursework that is offered in a different sequence at that school.

Sun Valley Charter School will develop a comprehensive reading list, tailored to its guiding principles and education plan. State and RUSD reading lists will be used as guidelines for developing the reading list, but the list will ultimately be tailored to the requirements of the curricula. Books on both the California State and RUSD lists may be dropped, and others may be added. Primary sources may also be added to the list.

Over the four-year course of study, students will receive a full education. All students will receive instruction that will enable them to pass the California High School Exit Exam. Those students who plan to attend college will meet the A-G requirements for California college admissions. Those who do not plan to attend college will have opportunities to develop and expand upon practical skills.



Integrated Curricula
 

Before discussing the potential benefits of integrated curricula, it is important to understand what we mean by integrated. There are many different models of integration ranging from a mere connection of topics within a field to a full integration of concepts and topics across disciplines.

Where topics can be overlapped, we will do so. Where this is not possible, we will base our curricula on themes around which each discipline can work. This will require expertise, flexibility, and cooperation on the part of all faculty members. Not only will standards need to be integrated, but also the timing of topics within the course will need to be coordinated to provide a seamless education.

We believe integration is necessary to help students make sense of the information they are learning. Disconnected bits of information are sometimes difficult to synthesize, especially when students are not given a model they can follow. As Alan Humphries noted:

It is taken for granted, apparently, that in time students will see for themselves how things fit together, Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that they tend to learn what we teach. If we teach connectedness and integration, they learn that. If we teach separation and discontinuity, that is what they learn. To suppose otherwise would be incongruous. (A. Humphries, T. Post, and A. Ellis. Interdisciplinary Methods: A Thematic Approach. Santa Monica, CA, Goodyear Publishing Company, 1981, p. xi.)

We also believe that integration makes education useful. When students can see the interconnectedness of the disciplines, they can see how to put their knowledge to work. Newton, Whitney, and Einstein were not just scientists, they were men of their times and products of history. Their work grew out of a specific historical context, yet dealt with the cutting edge of science and technology. They were informed by the past, as well as the great thinkers and writers of their age. Students who learn through integrated models will be better prepared to participate in the next wave of thought and invention.

Finally, we believe that integration assists in the retention of information. When items are placed in context, they make more sense to the mind. The mind prefers order and is better able to recall items that are placed in the memory in an organized fashion. Showing the connections between disciplines gives students a tool to organize this new material in their own minds. Once the information has been stored in an organized fashion, it is easier to recall.

 


Sequential Curricula


Along with integrating curricula across disciplinary lines, we will sequence our curricula, over a four-year course of study, in a manner that provides peak understanding at graduation. We will lay the foundation in the first year and build in complexity and depth over the next three years.

In history, we will start with a discussion of ancient times and move forward to the present day in America. In English, we will work on the building blocks of composition and analysis in the first year. Students will then use those skills to write more advanced compositions and provide more in-depth analyses in the following years. Students will be trained in keyboard and word processing skills during their freshman year. In following years, they will expand their abilities and use this technology to develop their projects and presentations. In math, we will start with geometry, rather than algebra. Geometry builds the skills of analysis, logic, and argument that will be useful in other fields. In the sciences, we will start with geology and meteorology to give students a sense of their world, and to provide a foundation for world history. The second year, we will introduce astronomy and oceanography, mirroring history in the age of exploration. Chemistry will be taught as we discuss the modern world, connecting the one discipline to the other and building on the earth sciences foundation.



Differentiated Curriculum
 

We will provide opportunities for all students to excel to the best of their abilities by providing a differentiated curriculum within each class. A differentiated curriculum is one in which the same material is covered by all students in the class, but in varying degrees of complexity. The standard curriculum will prepare students adequately for graduation and admission to college. The advanced placement differentiation will allow gifted and talented students to develop their abilities to the fullest. The curriculum will also be differentiated to accommodate low achieving students.

Differentiation, for advanced placement students, does not mean merely adding assignments or asking harder questions. It means developing activities that are more complex in nature and require a higher degree of critical thinking. Differentiated curriculum should challenge the limits of the student’s abilities, but not burden them with busy work.

For low achieving students, a differentiated curriculum means adapting the standards to a level that is within their understanding. That does not mean fewer assignments. It means assignments better suited to their abilities.

The demands of a differentiated curriculum require flexible scheduling. Our modular program is well suited to this. In our program, students will meet in different groups at different times throughout the week. Following the initial large class meeting, students will meet in smaller seminars, geared to the differentiated curriculum in which they are participating. This allows each student to interact at the peak of his/her abilities without being overwhelmed.



Curriculum Development Process


Staff Involvement

Key personnel will be brought on board in March to assist in the development of the curricula for the first year. (See proposed staffing schedule on the following page). They will work with curriculum consultants and organizations like the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. Credentialed teachers, along with subject area specialists, (who may or may not be credentialed) will be responsible for the full development of the curriculum.To truly provide integrated curricula, the process will necessarily involve individuals with expertise within their areas and an ability to cross into other fields.

Proposed Staffing Schedule

January 2002: Director to be hired by the SVCS Board. Director will work part-time with no compensation.

March 2002: Director will start working full-time, with half-salary. Director will work on staff development/hiring, student enrollment, curriculum/assessments, etc. Director will work with consultants and volunteers.

June 2002: Mid-month, two teachers/department chairs will be hired in math/science and English. They will work full-time, with half salary. They will assist in developing curriculum/assessments, classroom level instruction/ assessment. The Director and department heads will work with consultants and volunteers.

August 2002: Mid-month, the remaining teaching staff, administrative support staff, and other employees will be hired. They will work full-time for half-salary.

September 2002: All employees will begin receiving full compensation.

It is anticipated that, throughout this process, many people will be volunteering their time. While we show teachers being hired in June and August, they will, most likely, be brought on board at an earlier date as a volunteer. Thus, we will not be introducing them at the last minute, but will involve them in the process early on.

Review of Standards

We will begin the process by reviewing the standards for the various disciplines. This was addressed in the section on standards earlier in this plan.

Integration of Subjects

After the standards have been reviewed, the curriculum development team will work to find the connections between the various disciplines. They will work to identify those areas where integration can be most effective. Standards that cross discipline lines will be incorporated in both areas. Where integration is more difficult, a webbed approach will be outlined and standards will be adapted to fit the identified theme.

Development of Objectives

Following this process, the team will establish a set of objectives for each course that not only addresses the standards, but also connects the curricula across traditional boundaries. These objectives will provide the framework for the individual courses and will be used to determine the materials to be selected.

Selection of Materials

Obviously, textbooks are not organized in this integrated manner. The team will need to seek out reference materials and online sources, including original documents, scientific websites, online academic books, etc., that satisfy the objectives. They will assemble a pool of resources to be used by students and teachers in connection with the course objectives.

Specific Course Outlines

From these objectives and materials, the team will develop specific course outlines. The outlines will address integration and webbing issues, and will give the teachers a road map and schedule for their classes. At this point, other teachers will be involved, helping to create the lesson plans that will carry out the course objectives.

Approval by SVCS Board

The final step in the process will be the approval of the standards, objectives, materials, and course outlines by the Sun Valley Charter School Board of Directors. It is anticipated that we will only develop the first year’s curricula prior to September 2002. The curricula for the 2003-2004 school year will be developed during the 2002-2003 school year.



Connectedness to Secondary Testing


Our courses will be designed primarily to educate the student, but we will also be sure to prepare students to take standardized tests, bearing in mind the State law prohibition from using certain test preparation materials. We believe there is a difference between educating a student and teaching to the test. A student who can pass a test is not necessarily well educated, but a well-educated student will be able to pass standardized tests.

Our students will be required to pass the California State High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). We will also participate in the SAT-9, and other statewide assessments as required by law, including the STAR program which includes the SAT-9 and the SABE2. There are other tests that our students will want to take in preparation for college. Our program will be rigorous enough to provide them with the knowledge they need to do well on these tests, but we will not leave testing to chance.

As a part of our practical skills component, we will prepare students for these tests by providing instruction in test-taking strategies These strategies will include: Providing study guides geared to the tests contents, reviewing previous versions of the tests where available, discussing strategies for approaching different types of questions, and providing simulated test conditions to gear students up for the real thing. Studies have shown that students who take even rudimentary steps to prepare for standardized tests fare better than those who do not.
