Standards Based Curriculum

Curriculum Development Project

Adult Education Curriculum Framework

Adult Education Quality Curriculum Evaluation Rubric

2007 - 2009 Project Curricula

These curricula are designed to match the needs of your learners with your teaching style in a way that addresses standards-based instruction for High School Diploma and College Transitions courses.  Each curriculum is aligned to the revised Maine Learning Results, the Equipped for the Future Standards, The Quality Curriculum Rubric, the NRS Level Descriptors, and the Maine College Transitions Course outlines.  The designers of these curricula included learning activities to promote achievement as measured by formal and informal assessments including the CASAS and the ACCUPLACER.  They are in Microsoft Word format so that you may adapt as necessary for your particular learners.
