Milestones are actually activities integral to the curriculum.
They are not add-ons, projects to be completed after covering the material. Rather, these Milestones drive the curriculum. They are learning opportunities that support consolidation and application of conceptual understanding at key junctures throughout the curriculum. Each Milestone progressively builds capacity to undertake the subsequent one and to achieve the culminating Milestone. They are embedded assess ments as well, allowing a teacher to evaluate students understanding as they build their knowledge.
