Curriculum Calendar Map “Standards by Six Weeks Grading Periods”

The Curriculum Calendar Map is a guide for teachers regarding which standards should be taught during each six weeks grading period. It is a planning tool to assist with aligning the curriculum to assessment and instruction, and details the skills and concepts being taught over the course of the instructional year. Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines are the required curriculum from the Texas Legislature and specifies what students must learn in order to be Kindergarten Ready. “Possible Lesson Objectives” encompass the content that students should know. The possible lesson objectives have been aligned to the Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines.

The District-wide use of the Curriculum Calendar Maps provides all Dallas ISD students with an equal opportunity to learn the same viable content.

The implementation of the curriculum will ensure our students are poised for future academic success and are college or career ready.
