PISD CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

Princeton ISD believes that there should be a tight alignment between the printed curriculum of the state and the district and the taught curriculum within every classroom.  The district provides teachers with an instructional framework for creating lessons by . . .

• Utilizing the scope and sequence and instructional focus documents created by the Texas Resource System (TRS) for purposeful planning and alignment to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
• Establishing a district-wide template for creating lesson units that employ research-based strategies for instructional design.

Teachers by grade level and content area work collaboratively utilizing a variety of resources to establish essential learning goals and plan units of instruction with a comprehensive focus on teaching strategies that meet individual student needs.  

The district further believes that there should be a tight alignment between the curriculum and tools assessing students’ obtained knowledge of the taught curriculum. Assessment data are used by teachers to measure, evaluate, and revise curriculum and instructional practices.
