Curriculum is a broad term that includes text books, supplemental materials, lessons, activities, and assessments.
Academic content standards adopted by the state of Oregon outline the expected knowledge and skills students should acquire at various educational stages within a specific subject area.
Text books are a foundational curriculum and align with state standards. Text book adoptions follow a state recommended adoption cycle and are reviewed by Student Growth and Experience Department leadership, principals, and teacher leaders. Input is also solicited from classroom teachers and the general public.
