Subject area standards are the "what" of teaching and learning; Curriculum and Instruction are the "how" of teaching and learning.

• Standards:   Standards are adopted by the Arizona School Board of Education and detail what students should know and be able to do in each subject area.
• Curriculum:  The CCUSD Governing Board adopted materials and supplemental resources to teach the standards.
• Instruction:  Teaching methodologies to used by the instructor to engage students in learning.
  
  • Personalized Learning Site:  Personalized learning is instruction that offers pedagogy, curriculum, and learning environments to meet the individual student's needs. The experience is tailored to learning preferences and the specific interests of different learners.
• Like other districts, teachers and staff are held accountable by policy to teach from the approved curriculum/state standards. In CCUSD, we do not have curriculum that teaches Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory is part of an academic discipline with supporters and detractors and is not part of any CCUSD approved curriculum nor part of the Arizona State Academic Standards.
