In Spirit and Truth Curriculum Guide

The “In Spirit and Truth Curriculum Guide” applies to all PreK through eighth grade Catholic schools in Arkansas. It offers school administrators and classroom educators identifiable objectives for each subject area. The objectives assist in developing appropriate expectations for each grade in relation to the entire subject area, thus assisting in planning short- and long-range goals and periodic evaluation. This document was revised in 2008 by the Office of Catholic Schools in consultation with educators from various Catholic schools in the Diocese of Little Rock.

Curriculum Checklists

As an outcome of the Catholic schools of Arkansas curriculum review process, curriculum checklists were developed to facilitate a standardized process for administrative and professional accountability. Checklists were developed by subject committee members and revisions are made, as necessary, from building level recommendations to the subject committee members. Curriculum checklists for all core content areas are provided at each grade level and consist of priority objectives to be covered by teaching staff during the course of the year.
