Curriculum

Laramie County School District 2 believes that a guaranteed and viable curriculum is the foundation upon which all learning is built.  Guaranteed, in that all students regardless of their teacher or school, will have equal access to the same content, knowledge and skills across the district.  Viable, in that essential standards are determined to allow focus on critical content, allowing teachers to realistically teach for mastery in the time allotted.

Our district defines curriculum as an integration of learning goals, instructional methods, resources, and assessments to effectively support learning.  The Wyoming Content and Performance Stardards serve as the foundation for our district curriculum.  Content and course curriculum maps outline  curricular components to guide lesson planning and promote alignment horizontally between buildings and vertically between classes or subsequent courses across the district.  

Our teachers design our curriculum and play an integral role in selecting resources.  A Curriculum Coordinating Council develops long-range curriculum plans, oversees curriculum development, approves adoption of resources, and analyzes the effectiveness of the curriculum.
