What standards exist in your school?
-
We use standards that we that our school has developed itself that meet or exceed state and national standards but that are based on LCA standards developed by Liberty University and those by the Florida Department of Education. We also use ITSE standards for technology.
-
We have both academic standards that meet or exceed the state standards. We have standards and expectations on student conduct that relate to a biblical view of conduct.
-
Each department has goals/objectives that provide academic standards for content and skill development. Students are required to take a sequences of courses mandated by the state, and college bound students are advised on course requirements for public universities in the state. Students also have to take standardized tests for assessment each year, along with the ACT as a graduation requirement. Many students enroll in AP courses, which also have standards for course planning and assessment.
-
We use a combination of standards in our school. We use both the state standards as well as power standards we have developed as a school. The power standards focus on Biblical integration while the state standards guide the lessons we teach.

Currently, I work in a public school. Standards are always the Core Curriculum Standards and schools are moving towards what they call inclusivity. Gender acceptance is a big topic right now and you could be fired for not using a students preferred pronoun. Character education and social emotional learning are growing, yet we cannot talk about how faith impacts those areas.
When I was in a Christian School, the Bible was the driving force of our curriculum choices.
