  The District 21 curriculum framework is aligned with the Illinois Learning Standards. The Framework is organized in a Concept-Based format. Each grade level uses conceptual lenses and a general theme to help focus instruction and learning for the year. Guiding questions help students discover the essential understandings or “big ideas”. The critical content and skills are also identified.
