A curriculum alignment is the process that examines the way curriculum is taught to ensure it is consistent with the content of the curriculum as specified in "The Standard Course of Study." The process also includes aligning classroom instruction and assessments to the state assessments. This training skills packet contains an introduction to alignment, an overview of curriculum alignment, and a description of curriculum alignment in Colorado. Rangely School District RE-4 has an Aligned Curriculum Map, which amplifies the Standards of Learning and defines the content knowledge, skills, and understandings that are measured by the Standards of Learning tests.
