A curriculum guide may be general or specific and is a way of
determining what to teach, how to teach it, and in what ways to
teach material to diverse groups of students. A guide is specific to a

subject or to one aspect of a subject. When students study a
particular discipline, they often are preparing for qualifying

examinations they must take. The school recommends reading the
Guide for the field they will enter, as it makes good sense, and can

make studies more complete.
Curriculum in RCIS is defined as the knowledge, skills,
attitudes and the processes to be taught and learned at the
appropriate grades or in courses in our schools. The word
curriculum refers to what is taught, written and tested. Written
curriculum includes framework guides, schemes of work, lesson
plans and grade records. Also, teachers have access to hard copies
of course/grade level objectives, and other framework resource
materials. Teachers follow the courses of study and instructional
materials provided by the School, incorporating the essential
knowledge and skills for each subject that are mandatory. Teacher-
made assessments and exams and the external examinations are
congruent with what is written and taught. Teachers and
administrators use test results to assess the status of individual
student achievement, to identify general achievement trends of
various groups of students, and to modify framework and/or

instruction as warranted by assessment results.
