Arizona’s Preferred Curriculum WebsitePosted: 2024-08-08 Email from PACC 5/30/24
Are you wondering about the curriculum being taught in your child’s classroom? Is is good? Is it bad? Who can you trust for good information?
Shiry Sapir, former candidate for Arizona State Superintendent of Instruction, has a website called Arizona's Preferred Curriculum that will help you in determining if a specific curriculum is good or bad.
On the website, it states:
"The Curriculum Information Portal serves as a valuable resource for parents, educators, school board members, and community members seeking to distinguish between curriculum that is academically centered and that which is permeated with political, ideological, and social and emotional dogma.
This portal emerged in response to recent discoveries of lesson plans, books, and surveys revealing a discernible trend within the education system. Academic literature is being employed as a manipulative tool to shape ideas, ideologies, values, and character in our students.
Several critical components contribute to the success of students, with curriculum standing out as one of the most pivotal. Curriculum, a blend of facts and opinions conveyed through a vast amount of information, requires careful consideration. We must be mindful of what our children consume, as it shapes the adults they become, influences their comprehension levels, and determines the knowledge they can demonstrate.
Curriculum tainted with social justice ideology deviates from providing students with genuine knowledge of facts and subject matters. Instead, it preoccupies students with irrelevant, unintellectual, and, in many cases, harmful content that affects their self-esteem, worldview, and academic achievement.
Here, you will find a compiled list categorizing curriculum into the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is essential for all users to conduct further research on the information provided. "
We hope you find this website is a wonderful resource to help you in your efforts to educate your children through your chosen educational option here in Arizona.
