J. Curriculum - the Central York Schoo! District takes great pride in working collaboratively towards
the continuous refinement of curricular indicators for all content areas. District indicators
describe what our learners are to know and be able to do: they increase in complexity and
sophistication as our learners progress through school. District indicators serve as the
foundation for instruction, and learning facilitators are expected to raise the rigor of each
indicator based on learners’ assessed academic needs. Curriculum mapping, learner progression
and access are key areas of importance related to District curriculum
1 Instruction - We recognize that each learner's journey is unique and, therefore, may require 2
different instructional approach or method to help ensure the learner makes a meaningful and
sustained connection to the curriculum. Learning facilitators strive to increase learner
engagement with class material through Project-Based Learning, as well as using technology in
support of teaching and learning, and offering learners various ways to engage with the learning
process both in and out of school. Information literacy, project/problem based learning, blended
‘and hybrid learning, quadrant D work, and SAMR are important areas of Instruction
Assessment - We believe it is important to assess, or evaluate, our learners’ mastery of
curriculum and foundational concepts in a variety of ways beyond the mandated and state
designed tests. We strive to foster an atmosphere that produces Meaningful Learner Work, or
experiences that help learners make connections between the curriculum and real-world, real-
life knowledge and experiences. In addition, we believe our learners’ journey should include
‘opportunities for learners’ to express “voice and choice” in their school work, as well as offer
parents/guardians an opportunity to view and review learner work through an e-Portfolio. Key
aspects of Assessment include: mastery learning, report cards, e-portfolios, and data driven
decisions.
Learner Work - Today's learners need to be prepared to complete in a changing environment
that requires them to think critically, communicate effectively, exoress creatively and care about
their evolving world. Learner Work should encourage our learners to use and grow these Five
C’s, and should also encompass a Project- Based Learning approach through which learners can
connect to the content they are expected to learn in a meaningful way. Components of Learner
Work also incorporate: voice and choice, entrepreneurship, and real world real audience.
(1 Human Element - People are the most important element in our learners’ journey. Without the
support of our learning facilitators, leaders, community members, staff, parents and guardians,
ur learners will not have the foundation upon which to begin and complete an enriching
through High School graduation. Personal learning networks, learner support team, and
responsive classroom are areas of the Human Element.
1 Structures - We are transitioning away from seat time, in favor of a structure that creates
flexibility allow learners to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content,
regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. Our strategies to accomplish this customization
include online and blended learning, dual enrollment and college in the high schools, project-
based and community-based learning, and credit recovery, among others. This type of learning
leads to better learner engagement because the content is relevant to each learner and tailored
to their unique needs. It also leads to better learner outcomes because the pace of learning is
customized to each individual. Key aspects include school day/year, schedule, pace, the library
and learning hub, and building,
