Round Rock ISD educators created the Aligned Round Rock Curriculum (ARRC) to provide programs of learning for all subjects and grade levels. Curriculum and technology integration specialists, content experts, master teachers, and administrators collaborated to create the ARRC to ensure students are provided with the instruction they need within the time required. The ARRC is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the state curriculum, and outlines the learning goals and objectives RRISD students should achieve.
Lesson plans and study guides provide teachers with resources to ensure that instruction is aligned to the AARC, the TEKS, and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Benchmark assessments, created by district educators, are administered regularly to help teachers identify gaps in teaching and learning to adjust instruction and provide individual assistance as needed.
Curriculum councils at the district and learning community levels review the curriculum, lesson plans, and assessments to offer adjustments and improvements necessary to help all children learn and achieve.
