introduction bob marzano 2003 an educational researcher and popular presenter focuses on common curriculum that is viable and guaranteed as the most important factor to effective school in our own district the moberly school district is expecting greater consistency and continuity from school to school and teacher to teacher and continuity from grade to grade this is accomplished by a guaranteed and viable curriculum which is one of the first of marzano s five schoollevel factors that promote student achievement marzano concludes that a guaranteed and viable curriculum is the most powerful school-level factor in determining overall student achievement districts and schools must ensure that the intended curriculum ­ written materials such as scope and sequence frameworks and curriculum guides ­ is implemented consistently by all teachers in turn the attained curriculum ­ what students actually learn ­ should align with the intended and implemented how can schools and districts ensure that this alignment occurs introducing his concept of a guaranteed and viable curriculum marzano states that opportunity to learn otl has the strongest relationship with students achievement of all school-level factors 2003 p.22 according to marzano students have the opportunity to learn when they study a curriculum that clearly articulates required standards and ensures that all teachers have adequate time to help students acquire and integrate required content if students do not have the opportunity to learn the content expected of them there is little chance that they will 2003 p 24 opportunity to learn involves commitments from schools and districts to ensure that the written taught and learned curricula are aligned defining a viable curriculum ­ the guaranteed curriculum according to marzano is what we decide is imperative to teach ­ a curriculum that we communicate and assure to all groups a viable curriculum is a curriculum that we can realistically teach during the time we have available during the course of a school year we need to focus on what is essential vs supplemental to teach in a school year we must organize and sequence our curriculum to enable effective student learning ­ that is to say checking to make sure the essentials are being taught and avoiding interruptions during instructional time the work on the guaranteed and viable curriculum is designed to focus on the standards that are most essential to spend time on and while not eliminating other standards to make it permissible to spend less or no time on them the challenge will be to decide what is essential defining a guaranteed curriculum ­ curriculum is guaranteed according to marzano s framework if states and districts give clear guidance to teachers regarding the content to be addressed in specific courses and at specific grade levels in addition processes and personnel must be in place to ensure that there is sustained monitoring of the curriculum and its implementation and that individual teachers do not have the option to disregard or replace assigned content such quality control would ensure that all students receive an effective education based on consensus-driven curriculum standards if schools are to successfully help students deal with complex current and future problems they must create new organizational processes to redesign and renew the curriculum school structures should enable staff members to discuss debate and define programs in practice revise the scope and sequence use appropriate instructional methods and generally redesign their curricular programs a process of curriculum renewal is easier to implement and to maintain if school staff is provided with concepts materials and resources that promote its development ascd 1991 because we believe that in today s society random learning and experience will not accomplish the specific goals that we feel are necessary for all students to master in order to be productive members of society it follows that we must have a systematic process for curriculum and program development and review the 2008-09 year we saw the implementation of the electronic alignment tool eat to organize write research and publish curriculum in 2010-2011 an enhancement was added to eat online this enhancement includes assessments and linked activities worksheets tests quizzes and other documents can be uploaded into eat to ease accessibility and to ensure consistency job descriptions and requirements for the following positions are available for review upon request at the moberly school district administration office located at 926 kwix road moberly mo 65270 applications are collected annually for these district level curriculum positions during april with interviews to occur if viewed as necessary by the assistant superintendent grade level/subject area chair standing curriculum committee chairperson instructional coordinating council chair 3
