Our Standards
A standards-based approach to education begins with the premise that all
students can learn and achieve at high levels - but that does not imply that all
students will learn in the same way or at the same pace.
The Nampa School District's Standards (Written Curriculum) were developed
using state and national standards. Through the achievement of these standards,
goals and objectives, students will gain proficiency in skills that are basic to
all learning, critical to success in the workplace and essential to life as
productive citizens.
Standards are
general categories that
organize knowledge within a subject area. Standards by themselves often lack
substance due to their broad language.
Goals and objectives focus our attention on specific skills
students should know, understand, and be able to do as a result of their
education. Standards, goals and objectives describe essential skills for student
achievement.
Support Curriculum encompasses programs, texts and resources
adopted by the district to meet those standards.
