The Pohnpei Department of Education’s Strategic Plan 2008 – 2012 set forth a standards-based approach to education for the department. It also identified a need for improvements in linkages of standards to curriculum and instruction and the system of support to teachers. Of concern was that while the department was strong in having content standards and Standards Based Assessment (SBA) in place, there were no clear processes and procedures and guides for turning the standards into curriculum, aligning instructional strategies to maximize learning against the standards, and adequate classroom-based formative and summative assessment that help teachers know how well their students are learning against the standards. The Curriculum Frameworks are designed to assist the department in implementing its standards-based education system through its curriculum, instructional programs, and in-class assessment and ultimately increasing student levels of learning and achievement.
