Pacing Charts

Teachers use a variety of assessment tools to ensure that students master the material. The administration provides each teacher with a "pacing chart" for his/her subject area.
The pacing chart serves as a detailed syllabus, providing the teachers with a timetable for the introduction of new material and subject matter. Pacing charts identify what should be taught, week-by-week, throughout each of the three terms. Teachers who teach the same grades and/or the same subjects typically present the same concepts on the same day (or minimally within the same week). These teachers meet together regularly to maintain a consistent instructional pace.

For the most part, due to the carefully created point-by-point pacing chart, all students master the same material and progress at the same pace.
If a class is unable to keep up (as indicated by weekly test scores), the teacher consults with the administration and other teachers to find a solution.
