Curriculum+Handbook


 * 2009-2010**

The 2009-2010 school year marks the first year with the Trinity Curriculum Handbook going virtual. Curriculum notebooks will no longer be printed, although existing notebooks will be reused. This is an exciting opportunity to maintain our curriculum in a manner which will allow for easy access, search ability, and real-time revisions*, while being environmentally responsible.

The Trinity School Curriculum is designed to support teachers in their design and planning for high quality instruction for the students. The curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to not only challenge and stimulate high levels of active engagement and learning, but to ensure a continuum of learning as students matriculate through their Trinity experience. This curriculum provides the framework for learning while also allowing for flexibility.

The Trinity School Curriculum is for teacher use and is accessed through the Trinity website, Trinity website Quick links, or deki.trinityatl.org. It is not a public document.

Teachers are expected to:
 * 1) Use the curriculum handbook to plan and support instruction
 * 2) Within your classroom
 * 3) Across grade level
 * 4) Between grade levels
 * 5) Be familiar with the grade level curriculum one grade above and one grade level below
 * 6) Use the curriculum handbook as a framework to support grade level curriculum maps (developed by grade level teams)
 * 7) Use appropriate instructional methodology to meet the needs of students using the prioritized list.
 * 8) Use appropriate assessment and evaluation to guide instruction
 * 9) Work within and across grade level teams for a strong continuum of learning and meaningful connections
 * 10) Remain current with the Trinity Curriculum updates
 * 11) Raise curriculum questions and concerns with the grade level team, Director of Curriculum and Professional Development, and/or the appropriate Coordinator.
