2. Standards Vs Curriculum
•
Standards are expectations. For instance, we expect
students to know that 2+2=4, and why. Curriculum is the
program created by school to teach students to learn that
2+2 =4, and why.
•
Standards are statements. Curriculum includes many
resources: activities, lessons, units, assessments, and can
include publisher textbooks.
•
Standards define what is to be learned by the end of a
school year. Curriculum is the detailed plan for day to day
teaching.
•
Standards are the end. Curriculum is the means.
Saint George has a Curriculum.

5. AERO Vision
American-sponsored overseas schools
will know how standards-based
education can and should strengthen a
school’s curriculum, teaching,
assessment, and, most importantly,
student learning. These schools will
develop and sustain a program of
standards-based learning in their
schools.
6. Mission
• Provide challenging, professionally-validated,
voluntary academic standards for use as a
foundation for curriculum in Americansponsored schools overseas
• Assist overseas schools to develop their own
K-12 curricula that are grounded in standards
• Train teachers to use the AERO standards as
the basis for assessing their students’
progress and their own instruction
• Assist schools in developing standards-based
curricula and sustaining curricula by becoming
professional communities of learners.
7. About AERO
AERO is a project supported by the U.S. State Department’s
Office of Overseas Schools (A/OPR/OS) and the Overseas Schools
Advisory Council to assist schools in developing and implementing
standards-based curricula. Project faculty use the AERO
standards as the basis of the professional development they
provide.
AERO provides a framework for curriculum consistency across
grades K-12 and for stability of curriculum in overseas schools,
which typically have a high rate of teacher turnover. AERO’s
resources, workshops, and professional consultation services help
overseas schools implement and sustain standards-based
curricula. This effort is in alignment with research-based trends in
the development of curriculum worldwide, and particularly with
the Common Core initiative in the U.S.
8. What is Project AERO?
American Education Reaches Out (AERO), began as a
project to adapt the U. S. national standards in
Mathematics, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies
to serve the needs of multi-national student bodies. Over
the years, standards have also been developed in Music,
Visual Arts and World Languages. In addition, three other
components have been added: AERO:SAW, which
provides a focus on standards-based assessment,
AERO:SBC, which is a collection of week-long summer
institutes on curriculum design, and OSAC-funded AERO
mini-workshops, which are one to two-day introductions
to the principles taught more deeply in the summer
institutes.
9. AERO and IB Schools
Schools with IB programs use the AERO Standards in
various ways. Some expect students to meet the
standards by the end of grade 10 and then use the IB
as the basis for the curriculum for the last two years
of high school. Another choice is to maintain the AERO
Standards through grade 12 for students not enrolled
in the full IB program.
In schools that follow the Primary Years Program and/
or Middle Years Program, AERO provides a clear,
measurable set of expectations for content knowledge
and skills that integrate with the curriculum design
criteria for PYP and MYP.

12. MAP: MEASURES OF
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Created by educators for educators, MAP assessments provide detailed, actionable data
about where each child is on their unique learning path. Because student engagement is
essential to any testing experience, NWEA works with educators to create test items that
interest children and help to capture detail about what they know and what they’re ready
to learn. It’s information teachers can use in the classroom to help every child, every day.
Adapting the Test to the Student
MAP dynamically adapts to a student’s responses – as they take the test.
• Answer a question correctly and the test presents a more challenging item
• Miss a question, and MAP offers a simpler item
In this way, the test narrows in on a student’s learning level, engaging them with content
that allows them to succeed.
Available Assessments
Delivered over the web or through your local network, MAP is a complete set of
assessments aligned to national and state curricula and standards:
• MAP: Reading, mathematics and language
• MAP for Primary Grades: Reading and mathematics
• Science Assessment: General science
