Welcome to the International Schools Services Foundation Curriculum Wiki.

= Vision =


 * Students will be assured of immediate engagement in quality learning experiences as part of a coherent K-8 learning plan from the opening day of a new ISS school.
 * The head and faculty of a school will be able to access comprehensive curriculum grounded in research based best practices for Pre-K to Grade 5. The curriculum will include year plans and unit plans which will include standards, assessments, an instructional sequence and instructional resources for all courses at each grade level through an ISS Atlas website.
 * The head and faculty will be able to access foundation curriculum for the middle school which will provide all of the above elements with the exception of the assessments and instructional sequence. These can be developed and added readily with the faculty on site.
 * The head can provide immediate access to the Atlas site to each new teacher he hires enabling them to view their year plans and unit plans.
 * The head can access the //Resources// section of the site to guide his purchasing of textbooks and instructional support materials.
 * The head can access the //References// area of the site to find a coherent vision for student learning for each discipline to foster a shared vision for teaching and learning and common language among diverse faculty members.
