FOREWORD The courses in this document reflect the following statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended: § 37-3-49. Adoption by school district of instructional program and management system; paperwork reduction. (1)The State Department of Education shall provide an instructional program and establish guidelines and procedures for managing such program in the public schools as part of the State Program of Educational Accountability and Assessment of Performance as prescribed in Section 37-3-46. Public school districts may (a) elect to adopt the instructional program and management system provided by the State Department of Education, or (b) elect to adopt an instructional program and management system which meets or exceeds criteria established by the State Department of Education for such. This provision shall begin with the courses taught in Grades K-8 which contain skills tested through the Mississippi Basic Skills Assessment Program and shall proceed through all secondary school courses mandated for graduation and all secondary school courses in the Mississippi end-of-course testing program. Other state core objectives must be included in the district's instructional program as they are provided by the State Department of Education along with instructional practices, resources, evaluation items and management procedures. Districts are encouraged to adapt this program and accompanying procedures to all other instructional areas. The department shall provide that such program and guidelines, or a program and guidelines developed by a local school district which incorporates the core objectives from the curriculum structure are enforced through the performance-based accreditation system. It is the intent of the Legislature that every effort be made to protect the instructional time in the classroom and reduce the amount of paperwork which must be completed by teachers. The State Department of Education shall take steps to insure that school districts properly use staff development time to work on the districts' instructional management plans. (2)The State Department of Education shall provide such instructional program and management guidelines which shall require for every public school district that: (a) All courses taught in Grades K-8 which contain skills which are tested through the Mississippi Basic Skills Assessment Program, all secondary school courses mandated for graduation, and all courses in the end-of-course testing program shall include the State Department of Education's written list of learning objectives. (b) The local school board must adopt the objectives that will form the core curriculum which will be systematically delivered throughout the district. (c) The set of objectives provided by the State Department of Education must be accompanied by suggested instructional practices and resources that would help teachers organize instruction so as to promote student learning of the objectives. Objectives added by the school district must also be accompanied by suggested instructional practices and resources that would help teachers organize instruction. The instructional practices and resources that are identified are to be used as suggestions and not as requirements that teachers must follow. The goal of the program is to have students to achieve the desired objective and not to limit teachers in the way they teach. (d) Standards for student performance must be established for each core objective in the local program and those standards establish the district's definition of mastery for each objective. (e) There shall be an annual review of student performance in the instructional program against locally established standards. When weaknesses exist in the local instructional program, the district shall take action to improve student performance. (3) The State Board of Education and the board of trustees of each school district shall adopt policies to limit and reduce the number and length of written reports that classroom teachers are required to prepare. (4) This section shall not be construed to limit teachers from using their own professional skills to help students master instructional objectives, nor shall it be construed as a call for more detailed or complex lesson plans or any increase in testing at the local school district level.

May 21, 2004

(5) In the event any school district meets Level 4 or 5 accreditation requirements, the State Board of Education may, in its discretion, exempt such school district from the provisions of this section.

SOURCES: Laws,1988, ch.487, §14; Laws, 1991, ch.423, §1; Laws, 1992, ch.519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992. Each secondary vocational-technical course consists of a series of instructional units which focus on a common theme. All units have been written using a common format which includes the following components: • •

•

Unit Number and Title Suggested Time on Task - An estimated number of clock hours of instruction that should be required to teach the competencies and objectives of the unit. A minimum of 140 hours of instruction is required for each Carnegie unit credit. The curriculum framework should account for approximately 75-80 percent of the time in the course. Competencies and Suggested Objectives A Competency represents a general concept or performance that students are expected to master as a requirement for satisfactorily completing a unit. Students will be expected to receive instruction on all competencies. The Suggested Objectives represent the enabling and supporting knowledge and performances that will indicate mastery of the competency at the course level. Suggested Teaching Strategies - This section of each unit indicates strategies that can be used to enable students to master each suggested objective. Teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggestions based on needs of their students and resources available in order to provide optimum learning experiences for their students. Suggested Assessment Strategies - This section indicates strategies that can be used to measure student mastery. Examples of suggested strategies could include classroom discussions, laboratory exercises, and student assignments. Again, teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggested assessment strategies based on local needs and resources. Integrated Academic Topics, Workplace Skills, and Occupational Standards - This section identifies related academic topics in mathematics, science, and communications which are integrated into the content of the unit. It also identifies the general workplace skills as identified in the Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) report as being critical for all workers in the 21st Century. Finally where applicable, occupational skills standards associated with the competencies and suggested objectives for the unit are also identified.

May 21, 2004

•

Suggested References - This section indicates some of the primary instructional resources that may be used to teach the competencies and suggested objectives. Again, these resources are suggested and the list may be modified or enhanced based on needs and abilities of students and on available resources.

The following guidelines were used in developing the curriculum framework in this document and should be considered in developing local instructional management plans and daily lesson plans: •

•

The content of the courses in this document reflects approximately 75-80 percent of the time allocated to each course. The remaining 20-25 percent of each course should be developed at the local district level and may reflect: Additional units of instruction within the course related to topics not found in the state framework. Activities which develop a higher level of mastery on the existing competencies and suggested objectives. Activities and instruction related to new technologies and concepts that were not prevalent at the time the current framework was developed/ revised. Activities which implement components of the Mississippi Tech Prep initiative, including integration of academic and vocationaltechnical skills and coursework, school-to-work transition activities, and articulation of secondary and postsecondary vocationaltechnical programs. Individualized learning activities to better prepare individuals in the courses for their chosen occupational area. Sequencing of the units of instruction within a course is left to the discretion of the local district. Naturally, foundation units related to topics such as safety, tool and equipment usage, and other basic skills should be taught first. Other units related to specific skill areas in the course, however, may be sequenced to take advantage of seasonal and climatic conditions, resources located outside of the school, and other factors.
