Achieving AYP Using State-specific Curriculum Matrix Data
|
This resource kit provides user-friendly crosswalks of your state’s standards and subcategories (e.g., benchmarks, performance indicators, topics) to your state assessments required by NCLB in English language arts, mathematics, and science and to the International Center’s Curriculum Survey of Essential Skills. High, medium, and low priorities are assigned to each subcategory in the standards based on the crosswalks. These crosswalks are combined in the Curriculum Matrix.
The Curriculum Matrix assists teachers in improving the performance of their students on high-stakes assessments. It also pinpoints the knowledge and skills students will need to succeed after graduation. |  |

The Curriculum Matrix indicates which state standards/benchmarks/performance indicators/topics should be high priorities, based on how/if they are tested and how highly they are rated in the Curriculum Survey of Essential Skills. With this tool at their fingertips, educators can make informed decisions about whether to place more or less emphasis on a particular standard or grade level expectation. In short, this resource kit helps answer the question, what should I teach?
