PLANNED COURSE CURRICULUM GUIDE (PCCG)
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| The Planned Course Curriculum Guide (PCCG) is a multi-purpose document: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| • | All staff, particularly new teachers, can understand instructional expectations through the WRITTEN curriculum | ||||||
| • | A continuing district-wide instructional process and scope and sequence of subject matter are enhanced. The WRITTEN curriculum is delivered through the TAUGHT curriculum [instructional content and learning activities] and is evaluated through the TESTED curriculum [expected levels of student achievement - learning outcomes] | ||||||
| • | Priority student-centered outcomes are identified and attained through suggested learning activities and content designed to help insure a balanced and comprehensive basic curriculum | ||||||
| • | Essential content and course standards provide an efficient basis for selecting appropriate instructional materials and resources | ||||||
| • | Staff development areas for curriculum improvement are provided | ||||||||
| • | The PCCG conforms with current Pennsylvania Department of Education curriculum regulations and serves the dual feature of providing both an administrative document and an instructional guide | ||||||||
| • | Content and subject format remain flexible and adaptable to modification - an “active” document | ||||||||
| • | Special Pennsylvania Department of Education [PDE] legislation is identified | ||||||||
| • | Parents and students are provided with an overview of the instructional program and each course in particular | ||||||||
