Introduction to Curriculum Instructional Sequence and Pacing Guide
A Planning Tool
This instructional sequence and pacing guide is a tool to be used in planning and implementing the district's curriculum. Teachers are responsible for developing lesson plans of main concepts. The format makes transparent the connections among curriculum (what to teach), instruction (materials, activities and strategies) and assessment (what was learned). The Curriculum Instructional Sequence and Pacing Guides for all subjects provide the overall curricular framework for what students will know and be able to do when they graduate from Detroit Public Schools. Pacing the sequence of instruction within a subject and a grade level assures that students are provided the opportunity to experience the full scope of a rigorous curriculum
Effective Instruction
Specifically, the pacing guides connect the components of effective instruction by:
1. Showing the alignment of district outcomes with state (including MEAP) and national content standards;
2. Detailing recommend instructional strategies, instructional materials and suggested assessments; and
3. Indicating frequent, common assessments that can be used to monitor student achievement and to provide interventions, as necessary.
A Coherent Curriculum
Consistent use of these pacing guides will:
1. Ensure educational equity - all students will have access to the same high quality curriculum;
2. Ensure that there is coherence with regard to what to teach, what instructional materials to use, what research based teaching strategies should be used, and how to assess student attainment;
3. Ensure what students are taught is logically connected to student achievement;
4. Make it easier for students who move among schools within a school year to become acclimated to their new schools and classes;
5. Provide the curricular structure which enables teachers to focus on instruction;
6. Guide a sequence of instruction within and across grade levels; and
7. Ensure the curriculum is aligned and consistent with state and federal standards.
These pacing guides were developed by committees of teachers, administrators and other instructional specialists who were charged to make a user-friendly document that will help teachers design lessons which meet students' needs and lead to high achievement. These guides are works in-progress. Periodically, teachers will assess the impact of these pacing guides on their classroom instruction.
"Curriculum matters: If it is in the curriculum, teachers are likely to
teach it; if teachers teach it, students are likely to learn it."
