Curriculum Maps
Guiding Teaching and Learning Across the Shikellamy School District
The Shikellamy School District is committed to providing a rigorous, standards-aligned educational experience for all students. Curriculum maps serve as a guide for teachers, students, and families by outlining the essential knowledge, skills, concepts, and standards students will learn throughout the school year.
Curriculum maps help ensure that students experience a consistent and coherent learning progression across grade levels and subject areas. They identify key instructional priorities, align learning experiences to Pennsylvania Academic Standards, and support teachers in planning meaningful instruction that meets the needs of all learners.
While curriculum maps provide a framework for instruction, teachers use their professional expertise to design lessons, select instructional strategies, and provide appropriate supports based on the needs of their students.

The Shikellamy School District curriculum maps include information related to:
