Core Curriculum Curriculum Design Design Requirements Educational Facilities Elementary School Curriculum Elementary Secondary Education English Curriculum Mathematics Curriculum Minimum Competencies Required Courses Secondary School Curriculum Special Education State Curriculum Guides State Programs State School District Relationship State Standards Statewide Planning Textbooks Vocational Education This document describes the basic education program for the state of North Carolina, as revised by the North Carolina State Board of Education. The first section describes a fundamentally complete program of instruction that would give the student a thorough grounding in the following areas: the arts, communication skills, healthful living, mathematics, media and computer skills, science, second languages, social studies, and vocational education. Basic curricular goals for these areas are set forth in four sections, covering grades K-3, 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12, respectively. (Vocational education is provided only in grades 7 to 12.) The second section covers programs not confined to subject areas: curriculum for exceptional children, the extended day program, remedial and compensatory efforts, in-school suspension programs, student services and library/media programs. The third section sets forth general standards for promotion, minimum competencies, instructional time, the school year, and graduation requirements, while the fourth section lists allotments for material support and standards for educational facilities. The final section lists state requirements for staffing at the district and school levels, along with allotment of state funds for staff development and an explanation of staffing ratios and class sizes. Appended are lists of state-approved elementary and high school textbooks and a list of suggested high school electives. (TE)
