Knowing Your Student's Curriculum

Parents and guardians should be familiar with their student's curriculum to support their child's learning and communicate effectively with teachers about progress and challenges.

Course Design

Every Lincoln Learning course contains Course Resources with information regarding pacing, materials lists, worksheets, reading logs, etc.

One of the most important resources is the Pacing Guide. The Pacing Guide is the layout of the entire course and identifies each module, the lessons within each module, and the learning objects, or what we call Its, within the lesson.

Learning objects are bite-sized pieces of content. Not all learning objects are the same; each learning object type provides students with a different approach to learning based on the learning objective for the lesson. Foundational learning objects are:

  • Read Its contain all lesson content; think of the Read It as a chapter in a textbook.
  • Show Its are an ungraded opportunity for students to practice what they learned and check their answers. Think of the Show Its like homework.
  • Assess Its are formative, graded, checkpoint assignments after every five lessons. These can be either teacher-graded or auto-graded.
  • Mastery Assess Its are summative, graded assignments that assess what students have learned within an entire Module.

Social and Emotional Learning
