The Key
Learnings provide an overview of the content that students
should know and be able to do in each subject area and grade.
They were aligned with the North American Division curriculum
guides, national standards, McRel Database (Mid-Continental
Regional Educational Laboratory) and Ten Sigma (a compilation
of standards for 38 states) Teachers designed this Key
Learnings project for teachers across North America. The
results will assist teachers in planning lessons and curriculum
for the year by:
 |
Providing teachers with a single easy-to-use guide for instruction |
|
Creating friendly curriculum outlines |
|
Helping teachers design their curriculum maps using National
and NAD standards |
|
Eliminating, extending or overlapping from each grade level |
|
Providing ideas for material in creating cross-curricular units |
|
Informing parents/students on curriculum content |
|

Key Learnings
PURPOSE
The goal of Adventist education is to prepare young people
to become Christian leaders in their communities and to prepare
them for Heaven. In Education, page 21, Ellen G.
White states, “True teachers aim to inspire… teachers
are not satisfied with second-rate work. They are not satisfied
with directing their students to a standard lower than it
is possible for them to reach.” Our Adventist educational
goal has remained constant: Show children the love of Christ
and teach to a higher standard!
Teachers may also add enrichment material to help meet the needs
of their students and classrooms beyond these standards. Above all
our Christian content and the preparation of our students should
continue to be our priority as we meet the challenges of the 21st
Century.
