Curriculum and Instruction
The Knox County School System is committed
to providing those educational experiences that develop
the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required for living
in our democratic society. The instructional program is
based on system-wide goals identified through a community-based
needs assessment. The goals are implemented in all schools
through system-wide curricula for all subject areas. Curricula
are developed or revised on a six-year cycle, corresponding
to the state textbook adoption cycle. Each subject is organized
into courses of study that are written according to an approved
system-wide format and according to statewide content area
frameworks. Most are organized around a progression of skills
over which students are thoroughly tested. Every effort is
made to provide a high quality program that is consistent
among all schools with respect to teaching personnel, materials
and supplies, administration and support services.
