and instruction of subjects in the West Des Moines Community
Schools. It provides direction for teachers and is adaptable
for individuals and class needs.

and skills to ensure systemic and comprehensive instruction
and learning. These documents form the “big picture”
of each subject down to the specific grade levels and individual
