Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment

The Beaverton School District's School Board, teachers, and administration are committed to the core ideas of a standards-based system through clear Learning Targets in all content areas at each grade level.

Current News:

In accordance with the Oregon Department of Education's requirements the Beaverton School District is currently in the process of developing a new Social Studies curriculum for Board adoption.  This work can be followed on the Social Studies Project Team web site.

Standards-Based Learning

A standards-based learning system is built around several powerful ideas:

  • All classroom instruction and assessments are aligned to BSD Learning Targets
  • Multiple opportunities are provided for students to demonstrate growth and learning
  • Formative assessment practices provide feedback focused on student growth and support improved instruction
  • Consistent scoring guides (rubrics)  determine a student's level of learning and indicate what a student must do to improve
  • Regular reporting of progress on each learning target occurs
  • Academics and behaviors are reported separately
  • The highest value is placed on teacher judgment and expertise

For additional information on Standards-Based Learning, Grading & Reporting Process and Credit by Proficiency, please see the Standards-Based Learning System (SBLS) site.Standards-Based Learning Site
