The FCPS Recommended Curriculum Map and Framework provides a clear scope for what must be taught to all students, based on Kentucky’s curriculum documents, and offers a basic sequence for delivering that content. 

Schools may elect to spend more or less time on content “units” based on students’ assessed academic needs, may add supplemental content to more fully develop units, and may add school-level curriculum programs (e.g. Second Steps, foreign languages, character education programs). 

While that “fine-tuning” is encouraged, however, it must be noted that schools who unilaterally opt to make significant changes (e.g., deleting content from units, moving units from one place on the curriculum map to another, etc.) run the risk of getting too far “out of sync” with other schools. This increases the risk of recreating curriculum gaps for our students.
