Activities
Get a head start to the upcoming school year by checking
out these Summer Activities: |
|
Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS)
Gwinnett’s curriculum for grades K-12 is called the
Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS). The AKS for each grade
level (or subject area at the high school level) spell out
the essential things students are expected to know and be
able to do in that particular grade or subject. They offer
a solid base on which teachers build rich curricular experiences.
Teachers use curriculum guides, textbooks, technology, and
other materials to teach the AKS and to make sure every student
is learning to his or her potential. Because the AKS detail
exactly what a child is expected to learn, teachers can tailor
the classroom experience to meet a child’s individual
needs.
