Curriculum Services
AIHE staff, many of which are former teachers, have many years of experience in developing, aligning and auditing district curriculum. Specifically, we can help your district with the following services.
Curriculum Audits
Curriculum Concierge™ is an audit-style program evaluation that works cooperatively with you and your school community for optimum school performance and student achievement.
Curricula Alignment
Curricula Alignment occurs after an audit has determined that there are significant gaps in content distribution between the client’s course of study and existing state reference standards.
AIHE specialists will write curricula or train teachers to write curricula that will be closely aligned to state curriculum standards.
