Curriculum Framework & Textbook Competencies

The Curriculum Management Module (CurriculumTextbook, CurriculumTextbookUnit, SyllabusMapping) allows Academic Directors and Heads of Department to organize official national curricula, attach approved textbooks, configure learning competencies, and maintain consistent academic pacing across all sections.

1. Organizing Textbooks & Units

1. Navigate to Academic Management > Curriculum > Textbooks.
2. Click + Add Curriculum Textbook:
   • Subject & Grade Level: E.g., Grade 10 Chemistry.
   • Curriculum Edition: E.g., New National Curriculum 2024 Edition.
   • Total Units / Chapters: Number of major units in the textbook.
3. For each Unit, define the structured breakdown:
   • Unit Number & Name: E.g., Unit 4: Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure.
   • Allocated Teaching Periods: Estimated class periods required (e.g., 14 Periods).
   • Target Completion Date: Calendar milestone for finishing the unit before examinations.

2. Defining Core Learning Competencies

Under each textbook unit, academic leaders can define specific behavioral learning outcomes:

• E.g., "Students should be able to distinguish between ionic and covalent bonds through laboratory conductivity tests."
• Teachers can tag these competencies directly when authoring lesson plans and continuous assessment quiz questions.

3. Departmental Pacing & Quality Audits

Academic supervisors can inspect the Curriculum Pacing Monitor:

• Compares each teacher's syllabus progress against the official academic calendar milestone dates.
• Highlights sections lagging behind with amber and red indicators, allowing timely remedial tutorial scheduling before midterm and final examinations.
